Trivia

The first half of the original version this movie is built up almost entirely out of flashback footage from part one. Ulli Lommel's Boogeyman 2: Director's Cut (2003) is approximately 85 percent of the footage from the original film.

Quotes

Joseph: Where I come from, we don't have boogeymens, we only have goblins.

Alternate Versions

As with the original, the sequel was also banned in the UK and included on the DPP 72 list of video nasties, presumably owing to its heavy use of flashbacks from the first film. It was never re-released in its original format. The BBFC passed the expanded version (as "Bogeyman 2 - Redux") uncut in 2003, though the Hollywood DVD release credits the title (correctly) as "Boogeyman 2: The Directors Cut". That version consists of approximately 90% of the footage from the original film, not this film, narrated by Ulli Lommel supposedly talking to off-camera police officers about the details of the events of the first film. They have supposedly brought him in for questioning, suspecting that the events of the first film were real.

User Reviews

Really, REALLY bad!

This is more flashbacks of the first "Boogeyman" movie than anything else (literally %75 of this film), and what it dosen't rip off is boring, cheap garbage. In fact the best thing I can say about it is that it isn't quite as bad as the next sequel, "Return of the Boogeyman", which is only surpassed by maybe "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or perhaps a test pattern. Rub your eyes real hard, its more entertaining than watching this one.
