Boogeyman II (1983)
4/10
Too much review, too little sequel
5 June 2023
While the previous movie wasn't an excellent slasher, it was still an entertaining and enjoyable movie. This sequel offers little and falls far too short to be considered a sequel. Much of the film consists of summarizing what was seen in the previous film through some flashbacks that end up occupying half of this film. That and the narration of the survivor while her Hollywood peers discuss to plan to make a movie based on said events. It could be said that the true plot of this sequel does not begin until the last half hour of the film remains. That makes the movie feel like an overly long prologue and the flashbacks end up being pure filler. The plot is too short and barely existent. This movie used the same formula as "Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2" but in a bad way making there almost no plot for a sequel. It is noticeable that here the budget is much more limited than that of the previous film. The death scenes are mostly absurd and that they are few. Boogeyman 2 ends up being an unnecessary sequel that can't be taken seriously and a waste of trying to continue an already cult movie. My final rating for this movie is 4/10.
