Boogeyman 2

Its few and far between these days that a horror movie comes along that is actually quite suspenseful and enjoyable and thankfully Boogeyman 2 fits the bill. I should start by saying that this movie has no connection whatsoever to the first Boogeyman but thats actually a good thing because the first one was pretty poor. We start out with a Brother and Sister witnessing the murder of their parents and then jump 10 years forward to where the Brother appears to be moving on with his life but the Sister still very traumatised and unable to move on. The Brother has to go away for a job interview and the Sister is terrified of being on her own so she stays at a mental hospital which deals with peoples fears. This is where i thought it was all going to go wrong with the typical situation of people being locked in the hospital ready to be picked off one by one. They still do get picked off one by one but its done really well with some great gore effects and the customary boob job. Where this movie jumps the que is the twists at the end and in the last half hour of the movie which i totally didn't see coming. All in all Boogeyman 2 is a great horror film ala Freddy/Jason with some great twists which will keep most horror fanatics happy and a guaranteed Boogeyman 3.

I guess that the producers really had learned their lesson with part 1, the use of CGI was a complete letdown in part 1 but here we have a real boogeyman. It is even so that the boogeyman is more a real killer which gives us the fact that we are in the era of the slashers. The start of the movie learns us that two children witness the killing of both parents. The boy was already afraid and guessed that it was the boogeyman due the fact that the killer was never captured. For that reason they watched the children closely in psychiatry. Next stop, 10 years later. The boy tells his sister that he has to go. His sister is back in therapy but suddenly one after one people in her neighborhood get killed. She suspect the boogeyman is back in business. Once the killings start it's old school slasher style. I have seen the 93 minutes version in stead of the European version and I can say that the unrated version isn't afraid by showing the killings. It's mostly done in a bloody way or sometimes even in a gory way. The fact that the effects used are without CGI makes it all worth watching. It is also funny to see Tobin Bell as Dr Mitchell. I guess the director made an ode to SAW by putting in a device to rip open a chest. Anyway, Bell is excellent as all others who are really believable. You can guess easily who's the killer but the plot change gives it all worth watching. And for the ones wandering if all elements are in it to say it's a slasher, yes, Chrissy Griffith does show her milky ways in close up a few times. Sadly, part 3 was back to the imagination of the boogeyman in CGI, but the red stuff made it second best.

The only reason I am giving a 2 is because some of the actors managed to pull through the script.How they managed half of these scenes without bursting into hysterical laughter is beyond me. They at least held up on their end of the bargain.So, where to start. I wasn't expecting much on a direct-to-DVD movie, but holy sh*t was I in for a crap storm tonight. The first boogeyman sucked, no denying. So, to remedy the problem, looks like cues were taken from other horror films * cough cough SAW, and infused with a special spoonful of terrible. Seeing people die in the most disgusting ways was a reminder about what crap costs these days. $5.34 at your local blockbuster. PASS!!!

I have not seen the first one, so I am judging this movie solely on being an independent movie and not a sequel. The movie, as far as the boogeyman goes, isn't that bad. I'm not really familiar with the actually boogeyman story, but this was pretty interesting. The setting of the movie is somewhat your typical horror film (a hospital/clinic), but doesn't take back anything. It has a fair amount suspense, gore, character development, and eye candy. The acting was surprisingly above average, and actually really well done, especially from the main actress (who I've not seen before). Now, the movie isn't everything great either. Some of the scenes are somewhat over the top and corny, and there is some predictability. Overall, its not bad though, something to watch when you're bored. I rate it 6/10. Unrated (my rating): R for Strong horror violence and terror, language, some sexuality/nudity, and brief drug content

This is not what you would expect when you see the front cover of the DVD. Actually, it's not even close. It's just a "Scream" kind of film where a masked guy chases some frightened teenagers through an isolated mental hospital. From my point of view the first film was way better than this one. The first puts the accent on the horror part, this one emphasizes the bloody, cruel and disgustful part. As for the plot, it's a little bit incoherent because you actually don't know who killed the children's parents in the beginning of the movie. Anyway, "Boogeyman 2" is definitely not a horror fan's movie and I am a little disappointed in it's shallow approach of the Boogeyman subject.

When i was watching this i presumed it would be the sequel to the 2005 Boogeyman.. a horror film.. but instead all we got is another Scream type clone. The actors and directing is OK i suppose but whats the point of watching a sequel to a horror when its basically a completely different film and genre. In my eyes it should've just been named something completely different or Called Boogeyman, without the 2 on the end. If you want a thriller, 'who's doing it' type of film then sure this might be for you, if you want a horror though i would wait and see if Boogeyman 3 has anything decent to offer.. who knows it might actually have the Boogeyman in it this time. Fair play for not taking the usual "hey lets throw in a heap load of CGI", but it was just wrong to call this a sequel.

I can not believe they called this boogeyman '2', did the director even bother to watch the first Boogeyman? This film has absolutely nothing to do with the first one, its a different reality entirely. The first one was deep and twisted and really made you think about the world and colliding realities, it was such an inspiring film and it still gives me a cold shiver thinking about that little girl saying 'you can't save me, you can only save yourself'.. But this one is just cheap and boring, a steaming pile of wannabe 'slasher' movie with no plot that makes any sense, no surprises, just really dull. what a magnificent waste of time, can I have my money back now?

When I started watching this movie I expected another crappy PG-13 movie with stupid CGI, like the first Boogeyman. But, this was a surprise to me. This movie was incredibly better than the original. OK, you don't need too much to be better than that horrible movie but I guess this is the only sequel to a bad movie that is actually great. The acting is good, the gore effects are great and Tobin Bell was great. He made me remember Dr. Loomis. So if you want a good gore slasher with a twist in the end, you should check this out. It's like "Halloween II" meets "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3". Forget this is Boogeyman 2. It has nothing to do with the original and that's a great thing!

I just don't understand why so many people criticize this movie.I loved this movie,I thought it was interesting and so well made but a bit disturbing.The first thing i have to say is that i completely loved Dnielle savre she is so good at horror movies.She should act in another horror flick.Well OK..OK it could have stolen ideas from jeepers creepers and nightmare on elm street 3 but very few.I thought this movie is one of the best horror movies ever made but really...don't connect it with boogeyman 1 and 3 those are awful.Well i say that this movie is bloody good.The deaths are awesome,the characters are believable and the chase scenes are suspenseful.I loved when Nicky exploded and all the blood sprayed on Laura(Danielle Savre).My rating:10\10.If you are a sensitive viewer or under 17 don't watch this film.It is very bloody and gory.
