Pretty average teen slasher.

As young children Laura and Henry Porter witness the bloody murder of their parents at the hands of a faceless,hooded psychopath.Years later they remain highly disturbed,but Henry has recovered far more than his sister due to a stint in a mental hospital under the care of a respected psychiatric doctor named Dr Mitchell Allen.When Henry gets the opportunity to work thousands of miles away,his sister Laura decides that she too must finally confront her demons and voluntarily commits herself into the same facility.Soon her fellow patients begin to die..."Boogeyman 2" is the sequel that is almost entirely better than its laughably tame predecessor.There is a decent amount of blood and gore and the acting is not bad with "Saw" star Tobin Bell having a relatively small role.The film relies on slasher clichés,there are some huge lapses in logic and the ending is hysterically stupid.Still I rather enjoyed this suitably gory teen slasher.6 out of 10.
