Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Paul Andrews Boogeyman 3 is set at Wolfbridge University in Northern California where young gifted psychiatrist Sarah (Erin Cahill) is studying, one night her friend Audrey (Nikki Sanderson) turns up looking for help. Audrey's father was apparently killed by the Boogeyman & now Audrey is frightened that the Boogeyman will kill her too, as a rational sort of person Sarah tries to calm her down & assure Audrey that the Boogeyman does not exist. However Sarah sees the Boogeyman strangle Audrey as her predictions came true & soon believes her late friend, as she tries to warn other's about the Boogeyman it feeds off people's fear of it & once you believe in the Boogeyman he can pop up at any time & kill you. The more people Sarah tells the more people die...Directed by Gary Jones this is the third entry in the Boogeyman franchise & while I definitely know I have seen the previous two I can't really remember that much about them other than Boogeyman 2 (2007) was surprisingly good, here Boogeyman 3 isn't anything that special but at the same time I suppose it's alright. First thing to say is that Boogeyman 3 is a teen slasher set on a University campus so in that regard it's not going to win any awards for originality & any self respecting horror fan will probably have seen dozens of similarly themed films as some killer bumps off the students as one final girl is left to run around a bit at the end. To be fair to it Boogeyman 3 isn't too bad of it's type, the central character of Sarah is given more depth than one might expect with decent amounts of background although her mates & potential victims are strictly walking clichés. The killer here is a sort of Freddy Krueger type who has supernatural powers although some of the killings don't make sense as why were the first two victims bodies never found yet that girl shoved in the washing machine was? Where did the bodies go? Were they in some sort of alternate reality that Sarah visited in her dreams? Or was Sarah just dreaming & nothing else? The idea of seeing into the future (the corridor full of bodies) is mentioned but nothing much becomes of it & again it's only used in one part rather than as a consistent theme. The notion that legends fuel themselves & the ideas behind are briefly explored but again not much comes of it. I also want to know why Sarah left that jug in the sink & left the tap running, I guess she doesn't have to pay the bill.Although not directly following on the event's of Boogeyman 2 are mentioned & it was Audrey's father that was killed in the previous film. There's a fair amount of blood splatter but not much graphical gore, a dead body with it's front cut open is about as gory as it gets. The film constantly uses that same old horror film tricks of false scares, lights going off suddenly & doors opening by themselves, you know the sort of thing. Although a bit annoying at times at least the makers try. Even though there's a scene set inside a girls changing rooms only one pair of breasts are seen, disappointing.Although set in Northern California this was filmed in Sofia in Bulgaria like so many straight to video offerings are these days. The film is well made for sure with decent production values & special effects. The acting is alright & leading lady Erin Cahill is very attractive here.Boogeyman 3 is an alright time waster, an attractive leading lady who has decent material to work with helps but a few unexplored & underdeveloped ideas means this had the potential to be better than it is. Not bad but not exactly great either, worth a watch.

MovieGuy01 I thought that Boogeyman was quite a good film, it all happens when a college student called Sarah Morris witnesses the suicide of her roommate, who has suffered a nervous breakdown. afterwards there are horrific events that cause her to believe something supernatural is happening, she tries to tell the rest of her dormitory that the Boogeyman exists but they will not believe her, soon the evil force grows stronger and her friends begin believe her.she has to find a way to stop stop this evil force from coming back before the entire campus ends up getting killed. I really enjoyed this film although i have not seen the first two films. i would recommend this film to people as it is such a good film.

Michael-d-duncan So as much as I was hoping that this was going to be so bad that it became comical, i really didn't get it. Was it pretty predictable? Yes. Were the characters clichéd ? Yes. Did it have some pretty good scares? Yes.This movie reminded me of nineties and late eighties supernatural slashers, not a ton of gore, in stead some good jumps. There was a time when horror movies didn't try to wow you with nasties, they tried to make you jump out of your seat. That was the kind of movie this was trying to be. Now it was not the best but it was entertaining and enjoyable, the only real qualm I have is the ending. The cheese factor goes through the room and there is no real resolution.Shortly, don't waste more than a buck at the red box for this one, but it'll still make for a good popcorn, pizza and Guinness night provided you don't try to take it so seriously.

Angelfish_Solo I have to say that this was a whole lot better than Boogyman II - The Wretched. I actually got into the storyline, albeit a storyline reminiscent of A Nightmare on Elm Street (believe fuels the monster), and though that the acting from the lead characters was above par for a film of this genre.Yes there were some plot holes, massive amounts of stereotyping and some run of the mill "scenes designed to scare". However I would be happy to watch this film again whereas I would rather stick pins in my eyes than sit through number Boogyman II again. The end leaves a nice follow on for a sequel and I can see there being a few of those to come.
