The first films was stupid, the 2nd film wasn't trying, and I'm prtetty sure the 3rd film will constantly pull crap out of its ass.

The Boogeyman goes to COLLEGE.. it's gonna be T&A and stupidity incarnated in a movie...

Thanks for the heads up, Drake666. Also, If I wanna see a threequil, I'll stick with the following:
Star Wars Episode III
Star Wars Episode VI
Back to the Future Part III
RoboCop 3 (It's a guilty pleasure)
Toy Story 3
Blade: Trinity
The Matrix Revolutions
X-Men: The Last Stand
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Oh look, SUPER important 7th Heaven and Bones references! It's funny because it's like the comments section is canon or something! Now you just need to say FIRST in one of your vids!

I think for the next one, BoogeyWoogeyBoBoogyBanana FananaFoFoogeyMeMiMoMoogy ...Boogey-man 3: Rockin' It Current School, the Boogeyman should be B-17 Bomber (or according to part 2, it should probably be B-oogeyman-17 Bomber). :P

Oh, and Hangin' Out has NOT gotten old. Another great vid, ThatGuyWhoWillBeReviewing SwampZombiesInThisVideo!

Oh, I meant Phoogey instead of Boogey. I guess it's toooo laaate to apologiiiiiiiize, it's too laaaate?

Well it was somewhat better then the first....

sure! but it still was boring and lame!

Let's see Boogeyman 3...starring Erin Cahill.

As in Erin Cahill the Pink Ranger from Power Rangers Time Force.

Also "stars" Mimi Michaels, who played the titular role of "Stikkimuffin" (oh my brain) in 2009's "GAMER." Surely, Mimi will use her acting knowledge she gained playing "Stikkimuffin" and light up the screen. That or she'll flash her cleavage, lightly jog away from danger, and of course die horrendously; doing this half-naked. Either way the movie is probably made of suck.

Hope you will do Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 next.

Time Force? This is gonna be good!...If he's seen Time Force. :V I think we'll need to call the Power Rangers Historian...what's his name again? 4th Side Ceiling Sitter? Lew-Lou? :P

Your close that's all I can say. Lew-Lou? Louise Loofahog? Hugabug?

*pondering*

Oh, I got it! Louie Lovesahug!

Nailed it.

Seriously, why the fuck would they make a torture porn-wannabe sequel? Why rip-off Saw when your subject is "THE BOOGEYMAN"?

And thanks Phelous for mentioning that Emily Deschanel was from Bones.

If it's good it will be standalone/cancelled, if it's terrible, it will get a sequel/another season. That is the 21st Century Cinema Law. There are exceptions, but they're so few you can count them on your hands.

You ever gonna do Cabin Fever 2? It made Cabin Fever 1 look awesome.

He did Cabin Fever 2: Party Cop & Prom Chaos a while ago.

Thanks. I'll go look ^_^ I guess I forgot to go through a few people's backlogs after my MMORPG binge....

Coincidentally, the Boogeyman and Santa Claus are both known as "the man with the bag."

Good god there's a third one??? let me guess this is gonna have Joxer the mighty isn't it....ugh

That's exactly who I thought would be in it! Unfortunately he isn't( I say unfortunately because he probably would have made the movie better). There isn't any Xena or 7th Heaven actors in the third one. I was going to subject myself to it like I did Boogeyman 2( oh god I wish i hadn't watched that) but I think I'll spare myself.

Does anyone else think that the throwaway reference to the first movie and general poor fit of the whole boogeyman concept makes it seem like this was an unrelated script awkwardly altered to become a sequel?

maggots only eat dead fleash, they wouldnet dig through that girls arms like that unless they were completly dead

The killer has awesome credibility stretching powers...what makes you think he can't train maggots to do his bidding?

God these Boogeymen movies are terrible! I thought Sam Raimi could've made a good horror movie production company but no why would he do that!

I love when killers have the best prediction power and luck in the world it makes it easier to do awesome killings

You got Young Neil and Roxy Reynolds in Boogeyman 2 lol wow

Ooo, you danubed to a sadly reference, this is much goodly. Universe is for boogeymans now!

Holy crap David Gallager was also Donny from Super 8!

Heh, the GLaDOS voice for the Jigsaw guy was a great touch!

As for the film, it's almost like they were trying to evoke the same dread as Se7en, but without any of the plausibility or richness of its characters.

The dreaded Lock-You-Inside.. phones?

Well with par low as this movie series has this second one being little better than first one its not so difficult.

At least the characters can be identified but its still lazy since you were playing the Jigsaw voices I assumed the dr.Jigsaw was the killer, oh well. Even though the pay off was a let down the first movie works better since it made you think something intresting was going on.

So does this mean that Kevin Sorbo will be in the thired movie and Michael Hurst in the forth? cause if not I will be very disappointed :(

Actually, projoe719srise, from the look of the movie, the makers were trying to imply that the doctor was the killer. In fact, it had almost a "Tingler"-ish feel to it. But making the actual killer the brother who's supposed to be going on with his life was considered a better 'twist' by the makers.

>>Did you have to show the maggot cutting scene.

I have a huge fear of wrists being cut and bugs keep landing on me because they got into my house.

Guess who won't be sleeping tonight ^^;

Luckily I looked away during most of those scenes.

Other than that good video.

I will say this about the movie- it at least left a bigger impression on me seeing the gross-out maggot scene and open heart surgery scene, than the first Boogeyman and it's absolutely RIDICULOUS 'smash the toy' scene. I could not take it seriously at ALL once that scene rolled around. This one, while little else but meaningless gore porn, at least made me feel viscerally disgusted.

Still not a very GOOD movie, but hey- it at least left an impression.

Holy crap, I saw this one before the review for once. And... Why am I excited about that?

Lame twist, lame effects, people need to stop equating nausea to horror so they can stop trying to gross us out... Great review though, phelous! Glad you ripped this a new one.

Random specific comments about different parts of the movie:

1. I thought the Boogeyman only came out at nighttime? It looked like it was dark or at least very early evening during the birthday party.(Assuming that was, in fact, the actual Boogeyman.)

2. I am so tired of the hand-on-the-shoulder freakout gag. Who does this? Seriously, who? In my world, people enter a room and say something, they don't just randomly grab the person they're trying to speak to. Not unless they're intentionally trying to frighten them. So not only is this scare gag cheap it's blatantly contrary to how people actually behave.

3. I'm also sick of movies (and other fiction) depicting electroshock therapy as being barbaric and horrible. My mom had it. It's a great way to treat depression and other brain problems, and is, I am told, essentially painless (or so my mom told me). And yet in fiction it's shown to be horrifically brutal. If they show it at all. Usually they just discuss it (and how bad it is). If they do depict it, it almost never looks like how it actually is in real life.

4. Germaphobia also doesn't work the way this movie depicts it. I ought to know, as I suffer from it. It's not so much a fear as simply a strong aversion to unclean things. I don't compulsively clean and wipe like that guy does. Instead of trying to sterilize the environment around me, I just wash my hands and shower constantly. Of course, it could affect people in different ways, but still, as a sufferer of this actual phobia and as someone who's had a parent undergo electroshock treatment, I'm calling bullshit on this movie. A lot.

5. What is with Laura not reporting the obvious problems with the other patients? The self-mutilating girl is, well, self-mutilating, and she tells no one. Then she actively helps the other patient hide her bucket of puke to conceal the fact she was inducing vomiting. And I just bet she didn't tell tell anybody about Paul's apparent relapse when she finds him scrubbing his floor.

6. What mental hospital lets the patients have cleaning chemicals in their rooms? Or access to them at all? That's an accident waiting to happen, as poor Paul there helpfully demonstrates for us. Heck, that entire hospital is a death trap.

...glad YOUR mother came out of it find....but not my grandmother ..is horrible yes but i guess anything misused can be horrible and barbaric ...just thought i say that it can and did happen people did get their brains fried by electro shock therapy don't like it really bad all around

I'm just saying it generally isn't like how it's depicted in films. Your grandmother aside, Hollywood's depiction of electroshock therapy as a brutal and unnecessary procedure seems to stem from a cultural dislike of psychiatrists. If I had a dime for every person who openly and vehemently disliked the psychiatric profession, I could buy the Statue of Liberty twice.

first my reply:
I never watched the movie (thank goodness) but the "germaphobic" guy didn't seem so much afraid of germs as he did Obsessive Compulsive. That's another condition that affects people in different ways, but isn't necessarily fear related. My family has a history of OCD and I myself have a bit of it in that I have to know (and constantly make sure) that doors are closed or locked before I leave. If I don't know, I freak out. I know it most irrational, but still.

now my general comment:
(was just easier to combine them here than post twice, and sorry for not remembering names) but this movie would have been better if main character girl turned out to be the killer or if it was in her head and none of it actually happened. I know it's been done, but it would have worked much better than the obvious twist.
(Here's the part in my comment where I prove how I'm a much better writer than the people responsible for this movie)
Maybe she killed her family when she was 8 and was actually institutionalized for 10 years. She's then released, but has a lapse and goes to this mental hospital where because of the other patients' mockery/ misunderstood practices of the Dr, she lapses again killing them all, but in her mind it is "the boogeyman" The mental construct of her brother represents her conscience/ sanity, but doesn't actually exist. His "moving away" represents her slipping back into insanity.

Also, is it just me or did Phelous have a serious vibe of not wanting to do this? To me he seemed like he was really pushing through to get it over with (unlike in other videos where he "acts" like not wanting to do them) Could just be me though. I know he's been doing the last few in (sort of) different styles than normal.

Given the last film, it seems unnecessary...but still, great review

Promise you'll never stop using "Hanging Out With The Family"

I wonder if the ending counts as murder-suicide?

I'd say the first one is better. At least it knew what it was going for. It's almost like Season of the Witch. A sequal where the original killer isn't part of it. So why even bother with a sequal if the title character doesn't make an appearance? Not only that, but they leave it open for a sequal that continues this new story, further distancing it from the original film.

Take away any boogeyman reference, call it some generic "Serial killer movie" and you'd have a stand alone movie with its own sequal possibility....which it almost ended being anyway.

SUDDENLY A SADLY DANUBED ON THE FLOOR! "OH NO!" said larua!

So let me get this straight? Magic Boogeyman just screws with our perception of reality somewhat before killing, yet Real Boogeyman has Mega Maid powers? This movie series has gone from suck to blow!

Also, at the risk of sounding like Douchey McNitpick, I'd like to point out that Phelous's "Worst Doctors Ever" observation comes from grossly overestimating the quality of mental health care in our country. The government run clinics at least.

Wait. So it WAS the Boogeyman who killed their parents and just the Boogeyman-possessed brother the second time?

Why bother with the brother at all if he ought to have freakin' magical powers in order to do all those ridiculously kill/clean up scenes? What was the point?

Why does the anorexic girl look like your typical thin Hollywood chick and not a walking skeleton? Why did the sister take 10 years to get therapy when the brother didn't? Why didn't - fuck it. Screw this movie.

Laura took so long because she was in denial. All of the people at that hospital seemed to be self-committed, including Henry, I suppose. People confront things in different ways. Henry wanted to get therapy right away so he committed himself (which ended up making things worse), whereas Laura wanted to pretend it'd never happened so she avoids committing herself until she sees the seemingly positive effect it had on Henry (who did a good job acting sane). The nightmare she has was probably the kicker.

Huh. You know, Phelous, sometimes your mockery of various internet review tropes (and in particular, a lot of the things you used to do in your older reviews) seems to have so much genuine disdain in it, I seriously wonder about it. Are you just poking fun at yourself and internet reviews, or are you a bitter, angry person who now hates his fans and all his old work?

I still enjoy your reviews though. Even if sometimes I think you're secretly laughing at me and saying "Haha, those dumb schmucks still eat this all up!"

If Henry was the killer, then who killed the parents? I guess you could argue that it's not important in the grand scheme of things, but Henry was wearing the same costume as the original killer so it would have made much more sense from a visual narrative perspective for them to be the same entity.
If Tim really was the killer in the first movie, then we never saw what really happened to him, and the first movie is pointless. If everything that we saw happen in the first movie really happened, but no one believed Tim's story, then these movies have nothing to do with each other, and the first movie is pointless because facing The Boogeyman did jack for Tim in the end. I guess that in the third movie it turns out that the first two movies where a nightmare that the little ghost girl was having, she is actually alive and perfectly healthy, and the story is about vampires because vampires are in now.

Sparkly vampire pedophile stalkers who act more like the 'popular teens' from movies set in High School than blood-thirsty undead monsters who stalk the nights hunting their unwitting prey.

I blame Joss Whedon. He started the pussification of vampires with Buffy and Angel, and Stephanie Myers only took it to its logical extreme.

But weren't vampires wimpy to begin with? They couldn't go out during the day, eat garlic, or touch anything sacrosanct, and they were all foppish aristocrats. I know that in horror stories you need to give the monster a weakness that makes their eventual defeat credible, but how is someone who can't do things that pretty much anyone else can do scary?

Depended on the region, but vampires were usually bald, ugly and vicious. The sun ranged from insta-death to inflicting weakness on them to doing nothing.

And the stake through the heart traditionally isn't to kill them, its to pin them to the ground in their coffin so they can't rise up to attack people.

To actually kill them required a complicated ritual including dismemberment and burning the pieces.

As for the sacrosanct thing, that was more to ward them off, and didn't actually cause them harm. And it really depends on the region for the effectiveness of it at all. Same for garlic.

Many of their 'weaknesses' were originally barriers to protect you from harm. Like those cages people use when they want to go look at sharks in the ocean.

It's modern fiction that's made them actually harmful to vampires.

But really, we're getting off-topic... Though, considering the topic is Boogeyman 2, I believe Phelous would agree this is a much better topic to discuss.

I assumed the real Boogeyman did it, as both kids witnessed the hooded figure, which was too tall to be Henry at the time. The idea seems to be Dr. Allen tried to force Henry to confront his fear by locking him in a closet, where, after a traumatizing but non-fatal encounter with the actual Boogeyman, Henry went nuts (well, more nuts) and decided to become a Boogeyman-themed killer.

This is of course assuming that the Boogeyman Henry encounters in the closet is real and wasn't just in his imagination. Either way, I just assume the genuine article is what killed their mom and dad at the beginning.

But I think that if it was the real Boogeyman that killed the parents, it would have dragged them into a closet or under a bed and made them disappear like in the fist movie. Also, I think would have eventually come back and killed the kids instead of just driving one of them insane.
