Boogeyman 2 (2007)

Very well executed

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This opens up with the brutal killing of a father and mother by an unknown, supernatural- like killer and witnessed by their two young children. Ten years on and the daughter checks into a mental health unit, where her brother had also been a patient, and naturally people start being killed by an unknown killer. Now I really didn't like Boogeyman (2005), found it very disappointing, so I was relieved to find that this was by far a much better film. It's pretty low budget, straight to video, but that's quite normal in modern horror. Acting, special effects and production values are all good. Tobin Bell, aka Jigsaw, stars as a creepy doctor, which was a bonus. There are some very good death scenes, my favourite being a girl who self harms having her arms invaded by maggots, intercut with scenes of a couple having sex (yes, there's some gratuitous nudity thrown in, obviously a body double though). Another sees a victim having involuntary open heart surgery. Overall a decent enough slasher movie, one that I'd probably watch again. Keep watching the credits as there's a brief post credit scene.

This first movie of Boogeyman is very scary. And this is just crappy pooh. Why did it get a 5.2. It is not scary. Boogeyman 3 is a better movie and that was awful. This movie has an awful story line. It has awful editing. It has an awful ending. Do not wast your time. Do not wast your money. Do not see this awful movie. It is just awful. Boogeyman is one of the best horror movies ever. And this is one of the worst horror movies ever. This is not a 5.2. This is a 1. 5.2 is just overrating it. This is the a pile of stink pooh pooh ca ca. Do not see it. I do not know why people like it. It is just pooh pooh and pee pee on top of it.

After seeing the first one I thought it was OK but when I saw this! WHOA! It was amazing!!! It was Gory! Raw! Uncut! Intense! Suspenseful! The story line was rich in terms of how twisted it was! That the Boogeyman was playing on their fears in order to kill them! The setting was fitting, a dark creepy mental hospital + the Boogeyman = perfect combination! The ending was twisted when it turned out her brother was the killer who was possessed by the spirit of the Boogeyman & when she thought it was him when she killed the Boogeyman all revealed to be this woman who was in charge of the young adults in the mental institution & she was considered a wacko & taken away by police! Overall it was a kick-ass film! Better than the first one which didn't have any gore at all in it! The deaths were epic & very quivering not to mention gruesome to the core!!This one will blow you away for sure! 10/10 MUST SEE IT!

It was the most ridiculous movie I've ever seen, however it did its part in entertaining me unlike other horror movies. I either look for the thrill factor, or at least jumpy scenes, which this movie failed to provide. Its attempt to scare the audience with quirky scenarios though did evoke an emotion out of me, though. I couldn't stop laughing hysterically throughout the movie.I'm sorry, but I don't know how somebody can get scared by the mere idea of literally gaining weight to the brink of explosion, or how realistic a severe OCD patient decides to drink bleach after eating a bag of chips with cockroaches in it. It just doesn't scare me. However, this movie entertained me for the wrong reasons and I don't think I'll ever forget it, so... good job.
