There are few things more admirable than when a horror film tries to create its own memorable villain or creature creepy enough to be remembered along with the likes of Jason, Freddy Krueger, or Michael Myers. Over the past few years, horror fans have seen several successful attempts at creating modern day equivalents for those films as well, with movies like The Conjuring, Insidious, It Follows, and even Don’t Breathe all adding to the pantheon of great, scary horror characters by bringing their own unique spin and feel to the genre.
It’s difficult not to admire The Bye Bye Man for also trying to introduce its own horror icon into the pop culture lexicon, which sets its titular character up as a psychological force of evil, who grows in power the more time you think of his name or say it out loud (hence the film’s “Don’t think it, don’t say it” tagline). Opening with a flashback to a 1969 massacre set in a sunny Illinois suburb, in which a journalist takes a shotgun and kills himself along with four of his neighbors, all of whom he deduces were the only ones told “the name,” and it doesn’t initially seem like The Bye Bye Man will be wasting any time before getting started.
