User Reviews

The boogeyman is real.

There are so many movies that feature the boogeyman, and there are several with Boogeyman as the title. There are even duplicates of Boogeyman 2, and Boogeyman 3. How to keep track of all if them? This is not the video nastie titled Boogeyman II or Revenge of the Boogeyman as an alternate title. This is the "hot young stars of the WB" version.

It stars Danielle Savre of such shows as "Grounded for Life" and "Summerland." She did her first real movie the same time as this where she was "Teenage Girl #2." She did a good job here and I was really impressed with her potential in the genre.

The other characters come from such shows as "South of Nowhere," "State of Grace," "American Dragon: Jake Long", or "Xena: Warrior Princess" I only mention all these shows as I have not seen one of them. This was a characterless movie with the exception of Tobin Bell, who did this in between Saw II and IV. His character played a small, but important role, and he did a good job.

The movie's rating is based upon the action. The use of fears to torture is reminiscent of 1984, and worked effectively. I really was watching for what came next and overlooked many of the flaws the movie had as they really didn't detract from the action. I was especially taken with the ending. Good job there.

Worth seeing even if these "stars" are unfamiliar.
