Boogeyman 3

When the grieving Audrey (Nikki Sanderson) reads the private journal of his deceased father, who was a renowned psychologist of a clinic, she is attacked by the boogeyman. She has a nervous breakdown and goes to the Hammond Halls in the Wolfbridge University in Northern California to sleep in the dorm of her friend Sarah Morris (Erin Cahill). Sarah is a student of psychology that feels guilty for the death of her mother and presents a show in the WZXB radio in the campus to give support to the audience with her professor Dr. Kane (Matt Rippy). However Audrey is hanged by the boogeyman while Sarah glances at her and dies. Sarah reads the diary of Audrey's dad and discovers his theory that the boogeyman would be a physical manifestation of the innermost darkest fear of a person. Sarah believes on the illogical theory and tells to her boyfriend David (Chuck Hittinger) and their common friends Lukas (WB Alexander), Jeremy (George Maguire), Lindsay (Mimi Michaels) and Ben (Elyes Gabel). As far as they also believe in the boogeyman, the legend becomes stronger and reborns, killing his victim.

"Boogeyman 3" has an interesting premise that the imaginary monster that is used to frighten children gets stronger when people believe that the entity does exist. There is one creepy sequence when Sarah sees the corridor of Hammond Halls covered of corpses and gore. However, for a clever woman like Sarah, it would be obvious that she was doing exactly what the boogeyman wanted generating panic and making the students believe on the evil force. Despite of the flaws, this movie is not so bad and it is a worthwhile entertainment. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "O Pesadelo 3" ("The Nightmare 3")

The boogeyman lives in closets, that's the urban legend in the US. Over here he lives under your bed and in other countries it's also somewhere else. What I mean is, the boogeyman is everywhere and curses anyone that crosses his destiny. And so all movies with boogeyman in it were cursed. From the first one in the eighties unto today nobody really liked them. Or they were cursed with poor effects, or with sad CGI. But number 3 in the franchise, is the best of them. Again it is a mix between CGI and at last a real person. And that makes it all a bit creepier. to compare it with the first one, there is already T&A in the first minutes and there is already blood too, two things we missed in the first part. And there is a lot of blood. Sometimes gallons of the red stuff flows on screen. They even put a bit of gore in it. A bit of lack of suspense in the storyline but it's a good starter for an entertaining evening.

A psychological gore-fest awaits as the college students at Hammond Hall get slaughtered in their droves.

What differentiates Boogeyman 3 from other supernatural horrors is its ability to deliver constant suspense - albeit formulaic - throughout its 90 minutes on screen.

Critics of the film have denounced it as just another slasher fest with precious little to make it worthwhile. While the storyline is predictable, there is an element of psychological uncertainty that pervades the film.

How can something not be real if we really believe in it?

When a college girl named Sarah witnesses the gruesome murder of her friend, her life gets turned upside down. There is an all pervasive presence of evil manifested in the form of a demonic entity.

One after another students who begin believing in the Boogeyman legend are discredited, until they start dying and it gets scary as hell right through to the bitter end...

Creepy,gloomy and dark! better even the first one .I didn't expect that but after a few minutes i started to believe that the boogeyman is true :) Great story although nice scenario ,great acting! It is for sure in the top 20 in my list of horror films.I cant tell you i enjoyed it cause a shiver was in my back all the time! that means i enjoyed for sure! i recommend not to see the official rating for this movie cause you ll propably like this film just like i did maybe more.I m not just enthousiastic i really believe this one will give you the creeps. I must not forget to say that the end is unexpected,genius and creepy too.

Honestly this was kinda bad and I'm disappointed since I liked the second one. It started out okay and I thought it would get better because that's what happens in most films but it only got worse with bad effects of the boogeyman and meh acting. The ending was awful as well.
