Years after a horrible accident, a woman still terrified of the Boogeyman checks into a mental facility to get over it, but when someone starts killing off the residents she realizes it's here to prey on her fears and tries to overcome them in hopes of dealing with the demon.This was a highly enjoyable and entertaining slasher. One of the best aspects is the rather great premise that it has where the fact that it uses the clichéd facing-fears gimmick to an advantage. There's plenty of set-ups to make it work, which is where the fun of this one actually comes from where each patient has a therapeutic exercise segment devoted to try and overcome their fear, and there's some greatness to this when it goes onto the kills. These here are exceptionally fun as they're fully encompassing of the fears and actually have the added plus of being expertly designed scenes to exploit a fun set of fears, from being stuck in the dark basement for the one with a fear of the dark to the cockroaches in the food for the germaphobe and another with a cutting problem strapped down while maggots are poured onto them and a knife left in easy reach. The kills overall are really brutal even when not taking advantage of their fears leading to quite a bloody series of scenes here which is just all sorts of awesome with an insanely bloody climax that is one of the greatest parts of the film. This is the highlight of the film, which is a long, really great final chase through the basement of the building in an ultra-creepy showdown that gets a lot right and the length easily makes it work. Due to taking place in the hospital with the closed in hallways, darkened rooms and general layout that provides this one with a stellar location to work with that has a great setting overall here. The killer's mask is really cool-looking as well, going with a really well-hidden cloak and a spectacular-looking demon-mask that stands out as overall, this was a greatly entertaining slasher. This one here didn't have all that many flaws. The main one here is the lame ending this one has. The resolution with the killer and the first few parts of the police are good enough, but then the film decides to tack on the ending from another film verbatim that was completely loathed, and while unexpected and a nice twist, doesn't make much sense and isn't really needed. The last part is that there's a really unnecessary beginning which makes it unclear what's going on. There's flashbacks, dreams and more thrown in which make it hard to understand what's going. As well, the attempts to tie this one into the rest of the franchise aren't all that worthwhile since it's barely even mentioned and could've easily been left-out such is the tenuous connection made here. These here are the film's only real flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity, Graphic Language, a mild sex scene and drug use.

This is a sequel to the 2005 film "Boogeyman," where a young woman with a phobia of the Boogeyman checks herself into a mental hospital in hopes of conquering her fears, but only finding herself and her co-patients coming face-to-face with a masked perpetrator.Loosely connected to its prequel, I thought this film was actually going to feature a ghostly figure playing on the fears of its victims. However, it is just another slasher movie with the typical teenagers/young adults running around and screaming as they try to escape a manic masked stalker with a knife. It's very "Scream" and I Know What You Did Last Summer" influenced.The plot goes at a fairly quick pace with some acting scenes that are actually somewhat creepy and riveting; the plot element about Dr. Jessica Ryan (Renee O'Connor) evaluating the scared patients was interesting and suspenseful and the acting was also fairly decent. However, I thought the first film was more original and captivating than this one, as the first emphasizes the horror of a real Boogeyman that lives in closets, while this one ***spoiler ahead*** is just a twisted man with a knife taking on Boogeyman's name to stalk the patients.The story does leave much plot holes and unanswered questions; therefore by the end of the movie, you'll be left hanging. ***spoiler ends*** Grade D+

I was so disappointed with this movie. There are several reasons below that explain why:1. The movie is nothing like the first movie (I enjoyed the first movie, which is why I wanted to see this one). 2. The movie was horribly acted 3. The movie was absurdly more violent than the first making it nothing more but a pathetic slasher movie. Plus, the Boogeyman's mask looked like it was borrowed from slipknot. 4. The nudity and the sex scene were pointless and didn't need to be in it at all.Although, one thing I found to be a little ironic is the fact that David Gallagher (who stared in the TV show Seventh Heaven) played it and in the first movie Barry Watson (who also was in Seventh Heaven) played it in. I wonder if another cast from Seventh HEaven will be in the third Boogeyman..lol

I just don't understand why so many people criticize this movie.I loved this movie,I thought it was interesting and so well made but a bit disturbing.The first thing i have to say is that i completely loved Dnielle savre she is so good at horror movies.She should act in another horror flick.Well OK..OK it could have stolen ideas from jeepers creepers and nightmare on elm street 3 but very few.I thought this movie is one of the best horror movies ever made but really...don't connect it with boogeyman 1 and 3 those are awful.Well i say that this movie is bloody good.The deaths are awesome,the characters are believable and the chase scenes are suspenseful.I loved when Nicky exploded and all the blood sprayed on Laura(Danielle Savre).My rating:10\10.If you are a sensitive viewer or under 17 don't watch this film.It is very bloody and gory.
