Boogeyman 3 : Le Dernier Cauchemar

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...

A supernatural force known as the Boogeyman is stalking a campus dorm in Northern California. It's fuel is people believing in it's existence.

The film opens with a young woman named Audrey who is the daughter of Dr. Allen from Boogeyman 2. He was the lead supervising doctor at the clinic where Henry went on a murderous rampage while dressing up as the boogeyman. One night as she mourns his death, a shadowy figure comes from under her bed and pulls her under. We then go to a university in Northern California where we meet psych major Sarah and her group of friends. Audrey comes to her dorm room late at night and tells her about the boogeyman and within hours she is dead.

The boogeyman makes it look like a suicide, but Sarah saw the figure strangling Audrey. While reading through Dr. Allen's journal, Sarah reads that he believed there was some sort of actual supernatural boogeyman which got life from others believing in it. Pretty soon, she tells the entire campus her beliefs of the boogeyman through a university radio show. This gives the boogeyman strength and makes the body count rise. Will anyone survive?

Boogeyman 3 isn't a bad horror film, I enjoyed it way more than the original movie despite the much lower budget. It takes back to the supernatural boogeyman like n the first film and doesn't follow the serial killer story from the sequel. I do think this movie made the idea of the boogeyman haunting people who believe in it much more enjoyable to watch than part one. It follows a simple story and doesn't try so hard to break away from that.

The acting is definitely the weakest of the series. Erin Cahill leads the way as the main character of Sarah and does a fine job. Everyone else is fairly unknown and not all that impressive. The characters are also not really written well either. That was a flaw for me as I didn't really care who survived or not. I also found the ending to be a bit of a letdown.

Overall, Boogeyman 3 is a fine low budget horror film. It definitely felt and looked like the lowest budget in the entire series and took a step back from a pretty good second movie in my opinion. But worth a watch at least once for horror fans.

5/10

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.

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.

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.
