Return of the Boogeyman

This started like a low budget movie and only got worse. The acting was terrible, especially by the Dr. Everything about this total waste of my time makes me angry that anything this bad is sold to take up 2 hours of my life. I really think that Plan 9 From Outer Space was better than this. Any TV Movie would be a pleasure to watch after this turkey.

Don't waste your time on this one. This is one of the most boring horror films ever made. It looks like this wasn't even Low-Budget...IT WAS NO-BUDGET! The acting is just about as bad as you can get on celluloid. Pass on this atrocity because it's not even worth a penny.

The ENTIRE MOVIE is flashbacks from the first Boogeyman movie as well as, inexplicably, footage from another Uli Lommel / Suzanna Love film Brainwaves. It is framed with some more current (from the early 90's anyway) footage that is boring, poorly acted and cheaply shot. Not only is the film almost completely flashbacks, they REPEAT the same flashbacks throughout the film. So you see the recycled footage over and over again, as if you hadn't seen it already. As if the originals weren't bad enough. I've never seen a movie so padded.... Someone was milking the last dollar out of these films. Total ripoff. And talk about padding... why do I have to write 10 lines about this trash? If I can convey that it's garbage in 2 lines, that should be enough.

This movie was terrible! I am a huge horror film fan and really enjoyed the first movie. Suzanna Love should be embarrassed to even be associated with this film! The entire movie consists of flashbacks from the first movie with voice over narration giving a play by play of what we are seeing! They didn't even get the facts from the first movie correct. Her name wasn't "Natalie" it was "Lacey"! It wasn't 15 years ago, it was 20! They weren't "Natalie's mom and dad" they were "Lacey's aunt and uncle"! Come on!!! And, even though they keep calling her "Natalie" they didn't bother to edit out the part (in a flashback from the first film) where her brother Willie screams out "Lacey!". I also seem to remember the narrator "Annie" stating that the boy was going to harm the mother. Seriously, did they even bother watching the first film?

"I'm finally free. Dr Love and Natalie set me free. Now I must try on my stockings. To prove to myself one last time that I am free".

What?!

Now that was unbelievably bad and quite a long 75 minutes. New and recycled footage comes together in this shoddy, patched-up second sequel. Why did I bother, well it was there... on the same disc of the original film. Over half of the film is filled with archive footage from "THE BOOGEY MAN", as a disturbed woman (Anne) commentates, or panics over the reused scenes. Literally she goes about explaining what's happening in those scenes in every detail... every detail?!

These sequences play as visions, including new footage of the faceless man (supernatural killer in the mirror wearing a stocking over his head) haunting her mind, which we learn are actually distressing premonitions. In these episodes for some reason, she keeps referring to the Lacey character (Suzanna Love) as Natalie (?!). At first I thought I was hearing things... not the case.

How the film connects all of this jumbled commotion is nonsensically dull and illogically stupid. When it's not focusing on the muted original inserts, then there's the new footage, erratically edited with wannabe artsy flashes. After a little story progression, amateurish in execution, but it's there, ultimately it settles on Annie and her therapist monotonously discussing what she saw, sometimes during her visions (where at one stage she lies naked on a mirror?!), or simply afterwards. In those moments, I couldn't help but be hypnotized by the therapist's thick, ungroomed eyebrows. They were that distracting. Well, at something managed to keep my attention.

One star for the audioless recycled film footage and of course those eyebrows.
