The horror film "The Bye Bye Man" tells the story of three friends who stumble upon the origins of the so-called Bye Bye Man, a mysterious figure that makes people do horrifying deeds. The only way to prevent the curse is to not think of his name or speak of him. But once the Bye Bye man is in your head, he is in control.
The film was directed by Stacy Title ("The Last Supper") from a script by Jonathan Penner ("Let the Devil Wear Black") based on the chapter "The Bridge to Body Island" in Robert Damon Schneck's book "The President's Vampire". The cast features Douglas Smith, Lucien Laviscount, Jenna Kanell, Michael Trucco, Faye Dunaway, Carrie-Anne Moss, Leigh Whannell and Doug Jones as the Bye Bye Man.
"The Bye Bye Man" opened in theaters on January 13th, 2017 to generally negative reviews, but grossed $16 million on a budget of only $7.4 million. I smell a sequel.
