Ok, I saw Boogeyman (1980) about a year ago and it completely failed my expectations....the cover alone had me thinking it was going to be classic but it was boring and the whole thing with the evil spirit in the pieces of broken mirror was just ridiculous. So, after being let down, I moved on and didn't bother with part 2.
A year later, I couldn't help myself, and went ahead and checked out Boogeyman II KNOWING it would suck. And can you blame me? Look at the DAMN COVER. How can you pass that up?? It's amazing how much more you can enjoy a movie if you go in with that kind of thinking. I knew it would have a nice feel to it, and it did. Most of the movie is spent rehashing the first as the female lead returns and is recapping it. It's Suzanna Love, and she's kind of a Madeline Stowe clone. It's equally bad altogether but I managed to sit through it with some form of interest and suspense. And sometimes, when you're looking for a clunker like this with a serious tone, some bad music in the background, up-close kills, and a ending that thinks its really good, it works out. I like it when a horror movie takes itself seriously but doesn't realize that it sucks. I'd rather laugh AT a movie than with it sometimes. Check this one out IF you're jonesing for something mediocre.
