Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Before I get into anything I need to say that I think there was a good idea for this movie. There is the hint of a good movie trying to get out of it. But the movie we got was so inept and so bad that whatever chance it had died an early and forgotten death. In other movies where there's a supernatural kind of killer there is always a backstory. There's a reason for the killer to be so crazy. Not here. We're told of a guy that killed a bunch of people for speaking the name of this entity. That's it. That's all the backstory we get. Well, not exactly. There's a librarian who later on is only there to provide exposition. In a less clunky movie they would have found a better way to provide this to the audience. A bunch of college students move into this house because it's close to campus, it's cheap and they want to live together. They find an old nightstand and in the drawer is written over and over again the lines don't think of it, don't speak of it over and over again. Ripping that paper away we see the title carved into the drawer. It had to be because otherwise there literally would be no story.And once the name is spoken weird things start to happen and that's basically the movie from then on. It's not coherent as to what is happening, it's just stuff. The man that killed the people at the beginning is just there with no real connection to the supernatural killer. At no point is this scary or thrilling or anything other than you want these kids to die because they're so annoying. This is one of the best examples of a January movie. It came out after the holidays. It's dumped into theaters because they need to show something. It's a PG-13 movie to get all the kids to go see it. And it's just something to be avoided.

Words cannot even describe how bad this movie is. People might defend it for some obscure reasons and that's fine. But don't be fooled into thinking this might be one of those "misunderstood" movies that people complain about just for fun. It really is that bad if not worse!

Stupidest horror movie that i have ever seen, and i saw blair witch 2, and all of the friday the 13th movies, everything is so poorly acted and poorly written than it just comes of as stupid, the bye bye man is the stupidest name that i have ever scene, stupid stupid stupid

All the rest of the aspects of the film are yawning, holes dug into land unfortunately. There is nothing new in Bye Bye Man. Nothing surprising. Nothing extreme. Nothing frightening. He does not have a stroke disregarding the impetus of the beginner scene for the film, the early disguised as the teen character a company is able to squeeze out any kind of stranger sympathy or compassion from the spectator.
