Not bad at all Aug 18, 2008
I have seen a lot of bad horror movies but I really liked this one. Of course, you had to suspend belief quite a bit but I felt some true scares and some of the deaths were innovative. Same old ending set up for a sequel though. Give it a try...you could do worse.

 Nothing Special Jul 09, 2008
Boogeyman 2 has nothing to do with the first movie. Unless it's supposed to be the kids in it, but I don't wish to go out and rent it again to find out.
So this chick enters a psychiatric ward cause shes afraid of the boogeyman. Her brother was recently there and it seems the boogeyman got to him. Some of the other patients in there are afraid of similar things and it gets worse for them when they start getting killed off one by one.
This is far from original, and I probably would have given it 3 stars if it wasn't supposed to be a sequel to a movie it has nothing to do with. It won't surprise me if there is a Boogeyman 3 in the works and a completely different story again. They should know by now those attempts never go over well, bad movie or not.
It goes for the typical done to death attempt at some kind of twist at the end, but like I said, it's been to done to death and does nothing for this film.
If your a fan of B-grade horrors, this ones pretty average. It might be OK for a one night popcorn flick, but once you've seen it, I doubt you will ever feel the urge to watch it ever again.
Just for the hell of adding it, the blond who gets naked in this movie made me want to puke... she can hold her head up high knowing now how much she helped this movie out by doing that... that was about the only thing scary to see in this movie.
Another slasher movie... May 17, 2008
I wasnt expecting too much from this sequel but my curiousity got the better of me. I watched with an open mind and it started out good. As it went along, I realized that it wasnt a supernatural being that was doing the killings. It was simply another slasher movie. I dont particularly like them, I prefer the supernatural stuff. So, that is why I was very dissapointed. The first Boogeyman was more like, the stuff you hear and dont see in the dark. This one, well, its a person in a suit. Bla, Bla, Bla. Its just ok, but I wouldnt want to see it again.

 one of the best slasher flicks of the last decade May 16, 2008
its a farcry from the original, but honestly.. who would want an actual sequel to Boogeyman? haha..
the set up kind of reminded me of Nightmare on Elm Street 3, which also took place in a sort of mental ward. i found all the characters really believable, and i can honestly say i felt for some of them.
the kills are excellent, and some of the best ive seen recently. i dont want to get into too many details, but ill just let you know, its bloody this time around. maggots crawling under someones skin, someone getting ripped in half, the removal of a still-beating heart, and lots more good stuff. lets just say, the violence delivered. in the realm of slashers, this is some hardcore stuff.
there really isnt much in the way of plot developement. the main character saw her parents mudered as a child and hasnt recovered since, now shes checked into the mental hospital. there is a dark force preying on the secific fears of everyone in the building. varying from fear of the dark, to fear of gaining weight, and even fear of germs. every kill is brutal and creative.
Tobin Bell does make a few appearances throughout the movie as the head of the mental ward, but it deffinitely wasnt enough screen time. well.. i probably wouldn't be satisfied unless he was starring.
so in the end, if you're a horror fan, i would at leased give this a rental. slasher fans should buy it. its right up there with Hatchet and See no Evil as one of the best slashers in recent memory.

SUPERIOR TO THE ORIGINAL Apr 25, 2008
Boogeyman 2 is one of those rare sequels that is better than the original film. Granted, that's not saying much. The original Boogeyman was a rather bland spook-fest about a supernatural Boogeyman that lived in children's closets. Boogeyman 2 is as different from the original as Halloween 3: Season of the Witch was different from the other entries in that series. Now I'm going to do something that I've never done before in one of my DVD reviews and give readers a spoiler alert. I'm doing so because I think it's necessary to totally separate Boogeyman 2 from its predecessor.
Two children, Henry and younger sister Laura, are traumatized when they see their parents murdered. Ten years later, Henry is leaving a mental hospital, apparently cured of his phobia of the dark and ready to move on with his life. However, his sister is still terrified of the Boogeyman and decides to voluntarily check into the same facility that treated her brother. There she meets a group of patients, all coping with various phobias such as bulimic Nicky who fears gaining weight, germophobe Paul, agoraphobic Darren, and Alison whose condition causes her to cut herself. The group is all under the care of Dr. Allen, played by Saw veteran Tobin Bell, and his assistant Dr. Jessica Ryan. Ryan is played by Renee O' Connor who is best known for her role As Gabrielle in Xena: Warrior Princess.
Soon after Laura arrives, patients start to die. Laura is convinced that the Boogeyman has followed her to the hospital but Dr. Allen insists it's there is no Boogeyman and it's just her fear that she has to face. Boogeyman 2 has only the most tenuous tie to the first film as we learn that the main character was also treated by Dr. Allen. Now, here's the little spoiler alert and I think astute horror fans will figure this out very early on...
This is not a supernatural tale like the first one but a good ol' fashioned slasher that is far more effective in its execution than the recent, over-hyped Hatchet. Director Jeff Betancourt has succeeded in giving fans an 80's-style slasher film with a young, good looking cast, trapped in a creepy hospital, and stalked by a killer. The kills are gory, yet stylishly conceived and original. Each of the patients meets their end in a way that befits their particular fears.
Danielle Savre is quite good in her performance as Laura. She's the requisite horror film heroine, terrified yet resourceful enough to stay alive. Tobin Bell only seems to have one expression no matter what role he's playing but he does bring a certain sinister quality to the film.
The effects and gore are very well done, far better than one would expect from a direct-to-DVD sequel. While his was Betancourt's first directorial effort, he's not stranger to horror films, having worked as editor on The Grudge, The Grudge 2, When a Stranger Calls, and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. He's learned his craft well. The scenery was dark, but not so dark that you could not see what was happening onscreen.
Now, it's not all perfect. The film stretches the limits of logic quite a bit. We are to believe that this large facility is staffed by only two doctors and one nurse. There's no security, no maintenance, and the only orderly is fired near the beginning of the film. The doors are controlled through the phone system and when the phones go down, everyone is trapped inside. Somehow I'm thinking that a lack of emergency exits would not be up to building and fire safety codes. So yes, the film does ask the viewer to suspend a bit of belief. If you can do that, this turns out to be one gem of a slasher!
