Anecdotes
The story on which the film is based, "The Bridge to Body Island," has a much more complex mythology for the Bye Bye Man: He was an albino born in New Orleans in 1912 who ran away as a child and became a derelict who lived in a train yard. After going blind he began murdering people and cutting out their eyes and tongues, which he sewed together and brought to life using voodoo. The resultant creature became the Bye Bye Man's literal seeing-eye dog, helping him hunt his prey. Several elements from the story- notably the dog and the motif of trains-- were retained for the movie, though their purpose is left undefined.

Gaffes
When Elliot wants to view the dead file he found, the archivist tells him to use gloves because the documents contained are very old, and they may be damaged by greasy or sweaty fingers. However, when they are discussing the content, she is touching the documents barehanded herself. Elliot is seen wearing one glove, but he too touches the documents with his other, bare hand.

Citations
Elliot: No, Kim! There's a train, a real train!
Train Driver: No!

Really not that bad. Some people are slating for the sake of it.

I've just been to see The Bye Bye Man and i can honestly say it isn't that bad. OK so it isn't going to win any awards and its unlikely to be a horror classic. But if you go in expecting little then its a pretty decent horror film. Its pitched somewhere between Sinister and it follows.

Pros

Its quite easy to watch. Fairly decent story

Cons The acting is below average. The story had potential to be really good but seemed to lack in a proper back story and the main characters were lacking any real personality.

Overall If you are looking for an amazing horror film then this probably isn't for you. If you want something fairly enjoyable for 90 minutes i can think of worse films to watch.
