Boogeyman 2 (Unrated Director's Cut)

I am not sure what to make of the so called sequel to the more supernatural based original. On a first viewing, there is some scope for seeing the film as having a degree of the supernatural.However, the producers still go with the reductionist view, even to the point of linking the sequel with the character in the first film, as having been treated by Tobin Bell's character.The treatment of the story line has been extended with some great FX shots done on the cheap. This is a so-called low budget film, and yet it manages to make some high end production values. Ghost House Production has once again made a film work well on a low budget, just as it makes film work on higher budgets.The DVD is very well done, with great sound, and some good commentary on the Producer/writer track; Its a pity that the Supernatural element was lost.

good story chain. 1st watch 09/21/2020

I actually liked this one way better than the original. The original just was not scary enough for me at all. This sequel has everything you want and more. If you liked the original version of this film, then you will like this one too. Good cast, good acting, good storyline, and way scarier & gorier than the original. Lots of thrills and scares in this one. Boogeyman 3 was also just as good. I recommend this film to own or complete your collection. The DVD looks pretty good too, although this would be better on Blu-ray. 3.9 out of 5

The movie for being used was in great condition

Story: Laura (Danielle Savre) has a lot of childhood trauma, to say the least, as she witnessed the rest of her family get murdered when she was just a kid. Her memories of this event are somewhat buried, but she was convinced the killings were done by an evil spirit, not a maniacal killer. She remains terrified of the Boogeyman and closets in specific, though as an adult she is trying to move on from her past. To that end, she checks herself into a specialized mental health unit, one designed to help people overcome their phobias. Laura wants to get over her fear of closets, but the unit has a wide scope of phobia sufferers, all of whom can relate to Laura’s plight on some level. When she reveals her fears of the Boogeyman, the others laugh her off, but when strange things start happen on the unit, will those fears be realized?Entertainment Value: I wasn’t a fan of the first movie in this franchise, but I have to admit, this sequel manages to surpass the original in every respect. The narrative is a considerable step up, taking us to an interesting setting and giving some Nightmare on Elm Street vibes, with all the folks cooped up on the mental health floor. The story makes sense and is interesting throughout, while we also have characters that are a vast improvement as well. The pace is tightened up, which means there aren’t the kind of drawn out, dull stretches found in the previous installment. The ante is upped on the horror elements to be sure, with good atmosphere, solid tension, and a much higher gore quotient this time around. I found some of the death scenes to be creative and well executed, while also well spaced, to keep the pace between kills short. This movie even offers up some light sleaze, including a scene where some shower romance is juxtaposed with one such creative death. I wouldn’t call this a genre classic, but it is a solid watch and a huge improvement over the original.One of the movie’s strengths is the cast, as there is quite a colorful, talented ensemble put together here. I think horror fans will enjoy seeing Tobin Bell is present, playing the therapist that oversees the unit. He still comes off as creepy throughout, using his weird Jigsaw voice and having a general menace to his presence. But I think that adds entertainment, since it puts a kind of dark humor in a lot of his scenes. I also assume that his involvement has reeled in numerous horror fans, so he makes a wise casting choice, I think. Mae Whitman is memorable in Boogeyman 2 as well, as she not only turns in a solid performance, but she runs with the material and makes it work so well. I appreciated her enthusiasm and she didn’t shy away from the horror elements, so she is a standout here for sure. The cast also includes Danielle Savre, Johnny Simmons, Renee O’Connor, Matt Cohen, and Lesli Margherita.

Excellent A+++

Perfect for a Halloween movie outside by a bonfire.

I have all the Boogeyman movies and I found this particular one okay. In my opinion it did not carry off from the original Boogeyman movie, but that might have been the plan. However the next movie plays right into line of this one. Overall the movie was good.

as young brother and sister see the boogeyman kill their parents,big brother has spent 10 years in an asylum and as he comes out she goes in,but the boogeyman is waiting,not just for her ,for patients and doctors,a good follow on film
