Boogeyman - How not to make a horror movie

So i'm channel surfing the other day, and by absolutly terrible luck come across this sad excuse for a horror movie called Boogeyman. Out of idle curiousity (and because there was nothing else on) I ended up watching it. This is a warning to everybody out there - this movie is extremely bad.
This so-called "horror" movie would not scare anybody, except maybe 6 - 10 year olds. The movie started with this boy in his bedroom at night (of course, who didn't see that coming?) and his father, who maybe gets abducted by this creature in his closet. I say "maybe" because the sequences are so disjointed that you really can't tell what's happening.
Fast forward about 15 years later. The boy is now a young adult, who is deathly afraid of doors, and has never dealt with the incident that we viewed a few minutes ago. Long story short - his mother appears in a vision to him shortly before she dies and tells him to go to his childhood house, where he must confront his fears.
The scenes with the boogeyman are laughable because you never got to actually see him until the end. And even there, the sequences are filmed so fast that really, you only get to see little snippets of him here and there. The conclusion was so predictable that it almost sad, and what was supposed to be the climatic confrontation was ruined due to the CGI effects that came off as cheap.
So that's it. A piss poor excuse for a horror movie. The only people I can think of that might actually be scared by this movie are little kids under 9. That's about it
