Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Nonureva Really Surprised!
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
polysicsarebest If you haven't seen part 1 of this film, skip it and just watch this one. As other reviewers have already commented, this film is half scenes from part 1 and half new, ridiculous, hilarious killings. I can understand someone being upset with this film if they've already seen the original film.However, I hadn't seen the original when I watched this, so I found the constant, fast-paced kill scenes to be amazingly entertaining. After viewing part 1, I found this film to actually be superior; you have all the best scenes from the first film with some of the craziest deaths ever filmed for the second half! Completely bizarre and ridiculous, very atmospheric, great music, good acting, extremely fast-moving, great death scenes, etc. What more could you want? Again, if you're a fan of the first film, this movie is probably unnecessary. However, if you haven't seen either one, this is definitely one of the most bizarre and amazing films you'll ever see...
Cemetarygirl As all before me has stated this movie- well its raining at the moment so I think I will sit outside and watch the grass grow-at least there is some point to that-whereas this movie bored me to tears. I kept loosing the plot and wondering how people could be killed off in a house and no one else notices until the end. Again as others have already pointed out by such dread means as an electric toothbrush and shaving cream. Unlike others I just found this VHS in a second hand shop and only paid $2 but still I could have bought a chocolate instead at least then I would have gained a little satisfaction.....This movie deserves to be placed straight into the rubbish bin.
susanwiseman68 It didn't make sense, so much that I restarted it a few times to make sure I wasn't watching "the making of Boogeyman II". The acting was TERRIBLE, the plot was ridiculous. It looked like the worst B movie I've ever seen. Totally LOW BUDGET and LOW SKILL. I don't remember ever seeing any of these actors in any other movie, and its no wonder. A bunch of garbled screen flashes of garbage that didn't really make any sense or fit into the movie other than the fact that they were random horror pics, at least it kept consistent with the genre. Most high school kids could do better at storyline, acting, filming, directing. A waste of time.
Paul Andrews The version of Boogeyman II I will be commenting on is the 'Director's Cut' entitled Boogeyman Redux on screen & released on DVD which has newly shot on video footage inserted into a an absolute mess of clips form the first two Boogeyman films. Boogeyman Redux starts with some footage from Boogeyman (1980) & then cuts to Mickey Lombard (Ulli Lommel) in shades & a baseball cap sitting at a table being filmed presumably by the police as he is read his rights after being charged with murder. Art film director Lombard begins to tell his story, a story that began 22 years ago when a woman came to him & told him a strange story about some killing committed by the boogeyman & that he should make a film about them. Boogeyman Redux is then just sequence after sequence of footage from the original Boogeyman, huge chunks of it are used & probably account for 90% of Boogeyman Redux's running time. The remaining 10% is interview footage with Lombard as he bridges the chunks together & annoyingly there is footage taken from Boogeyman II (1983) which for some reason Lommel has decided to speed up & replace the soundtrack with an awful electronic score, once all the good scenes from the original Boogeyman are used Boogeyman Redux ends. Directed by Ulli Lommel this has to be one of the worst films ever, please bear in mind that I'm referring to the 'Director's Cut' DVD version & NOT the Boogeyman II I thought I was getting. In fact I have seen the original cut of Boogeyman II years ago & I would be interested in comparing the two. Basically just about the entire film is footage from Boogeyman with a few sections cut out, it's like it was cut down for an hour TV time-slot with some of the more boring exposition scenes cut out & the Lombard interview scenes in place of the commercials as they're about as entertaining & useful. The sped up footage from Boogeman II is worthless & the bits with Lommel as Lombard being interrogated by the police are obviously shot on video & look out of place & as tacked on as they surely were. The abomination I just finished watching is an absolute travesty that I still can't quite believe. Why didn't they just keep Boogeyman II as it was & release that? It's been a long time since I watched it last but I remember it being a hell of a lot better than this pile of donkey crap. There really isn't much else to say except just watch the original Boogeyman instead, it's virtually the same as this just without the annoying Lommel popping up every 10 or 15 minutes & doesn't have the frustrating sped up footage from Boogeyman II, this is a complete mess of a film & I hated it. Definitely one to avoid, trust me you'll be glad you did. In fact Boogeyman Redux is so bad I'd walk out on it on an aeroplane.
