Return of the Boogeyman

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.

I won't waste a whole lot of time of this one because as far as I'm concerned it isn't really a movie to start with, just a careless mish-mash of borrowed footage and embarrassingly amateurish new footage made solely for the purpose of pasting the whole mess together and call it a "Boogeyman" sequel. Literally 80% of this film is stolen from its far superior predecessor "The Boogeyman", a film that the writers of this garbage apparently didn't even bother to watch because they couldn't even get actress Suzanna Love's original character's name (Lacy) right. And to add insult to injury the killer is invisible in the original footage and visible in the new footage, apparently they think their audience is as stupid as they are. 0 out of 10 and I wish IMDb's rating system went that low, the most callous and blatant attempt to rip off people's money I've even seen, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

How many times can we see the radio dropped into the tub? Painful to watch. Felt like I was being punched in the face. Not worth the $5 for the DVD.

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.
