            Sometimes there are films that while they look bad turn out to be great...

            this, is NOT one of those films it is one of the biggest pieces of tripe I have ever scene, the camera work is trying to be flashy but it really just crap the whole thing looks like the red shoe diaries, but without the sex, the only reason I bought this was I wanted to try out dvd and this was the cheapest one I could find, possibly the worst buy of my life and could have put you off dvd forever, the soundtrack is REALLY tacky and most of the movie is made up of endless repeats of clips from the first two films, why anyone would want to make a movie as awful as this is beyond me, if they had really attempted to make an original movie and failed I would be nicer in this review but they don't they just got the rights to reproduce stuff from the first two and then edit it and repeat it into this film with about maybe under 1 3rd original footage which is about up to the standards of film school students, DO NOT buy this movie. the only entertainment this dvd can offer is if you were to stick it in the microwave and watch the flashing lights! UTTER UTTER UTTER UTTTER unbelievable GARBAGE! 0/10 if only the voting system would allow that.

            Worse than garbage, a blatant rip off (0 out of 10)

            I won't waste a whole lot of time of this one because as far as I'm concerned it isn't really a movie to start with, just a careless mish-mash of borrowed footage and embarrassingly amateurish new footage made solely for the purpose of pasting the whole mess together and call it a "Boogeyman" sequel. Literally 80% of this film is stolen from its far superior predecessor "The Boogeyman", a film that the writers of this garbage apparently didn't even bother to watch because they couldn't even get actress Suzanna Love's original character's name (Lacy) right. And to add insult to injury the killer is invisible in the original footage and visible in the new footage, apparently they think their audience is as stupid as they are. 0 out of 10 and I wish IMDb's rating system went that low, the most callous and blatant attempt to rip off people's money I've even seen, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

            Return of the Boogeyman

            In the third film of this tired series, a woman starts seeing visions from events of Lacey's nightmare in the first film.

            This third entry into the series revolves around a woman named Annie who is having terrifying visions and dreams of a man with a stocking over his face. In her visions he is chasing her and trying to kill her. Annie attempts to figure out what it all means by seeing a psychiatrist who hypnotizes he. She starts seeing the events from the first film with the stocking wearing man who was murdered by young Willy. Annie also starts getting premonitions and looks into the future of murders about to happen in LA. Can she stop the murders before they happen?

            Return of the Boogeyman is a no budget flashback film that is full of scenes from the first Boogeyman movie. I actually didn't hate the scenes that were actually new, but just like the sequel, there is not enough of those new moments. I'd say over 50% of this movie is scenes of the original movie and the rest is this Annie character just having visions of them and explaining to her therapist what she sees. The acting is terrible, but even worse than that is the quality of filmmaking by Lommel. It feels not only low budget but very low skill on the part of him and anyone who created the so called script this movie had.

            Avoid at all costs. It's pretty much footage from the 1980 film The Boogeyman mixed in with 20 minutes of nonsensical filler.

            2/10

            The absolute worst... and not in a good way.

            The ENTIRE MOVIE is flashbacks from the first Boogeyman movie as well as, inexplicably, footage from another Uli Lommel / Suzanna Love film Brainwaves. It is framed with some more current (from the early 90's anyway) footage that is boring, poorly acted and cheaply shot. Not only is the film almost completely flashbacks, they REPEAT the same flashbacks throughout the film. So you see the recycled footage over and over again, as if you hadn't seen it already. As if the originals weren't bad enough. I've never seen a movie so padded.... Someone was milking the last dollar out of these films. Total ripoff. And talk about padding... why do I have to write 10 lines about this trash? If I can convey that it's garbage in 2 lines, that should be enough.

            Terrible movie, not worth watching (even to laugh at)

            This movie was terrible! I am a huge horror film fan and really enjoyed the first movie. Suzanna Love should be embarrassed to even be associated with this film! The entire movie consists of flashbacks from the first movie with voice over narration giving a play by play of what we are seeing! They didn't even get the facts from the first movie correct. Her name wasn't "Natalie" it was "Lacey"! It wasn't 15 years ago, it was 20! They weren't "Natalie's mom and dad" they were "Lacey's aunt and uncle"! Come on!!! And, even though they keep calling her "Natalie" they didn't bother to edit out the part (in a flashback from the first film) where her brother Willie screams out "Lacey!". I also seem to remember the narrator "Annie" stating that the boy was going to harm the mother. Seriously, did they even bother watching the first film?

            • Trivia
              Suzanna Love is credited for starring in the film, but she doesn't actually appear in any of the original footage, her scenes are just flashbacks taken from The Boogey Man (1980).
            • Goofs
              This film shows many flashbacks to the first film's leading lady, Lacey (played by Susanna Love) but incorrectly refers to her as Natalie every time. Furthermore, the two others shown in flashback and referred to as her "mom and dad", were really her aunt and uncle.
