Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Instant Favorite.

Excellent but underrated film

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Ulli Lommel directed a couple of trashy low budget horror films in the '80s called Boogeyman and Boogeyman II; the first was OK, but the second was a virtually unwatchable mess. Boogeyman (2005) and its second sequel, Boogeyman 3 (I skipped Part 2), have nothing in common with Lommel's films except for that, like his utterly diabolical sequel, they also suck big time.The main problem with Boogeyman 3 is that there is zero consistency in the actions of the titular creature. Sometimes it will suddenly appear and then disappear; sometimes it will creep up behind someone, and then disappear; occasionally, it will grab them, pulling them into the shadows, only to let them go; and sometimes it will kill them. What tactic the creature uses depends entirely on whether director Gary Jones intends to make the viewer jump, creep them out, or shock them (although nine time out of ten, he achieves none of these, his cheap scare tactics and excess of CG effects rarely having the desired effect).Furthermore, the film fails to stick to its mythos: supposedly, if you fear the boogeyman, it has more power over you, and yet several of its victims are those who do not believe that the creature exists. None of this makes any sense and proves extremely irritating.2/10, just for the eye candy, especially Nikki Sanderson as Audrey, who provides the film's only nudity early on, and the two cuties at the end, who lounge around together in their underwear (as most men like to think all college girls do).

After shifting from a supernatural entity in "Boogeyman" to a flesh and blood lunatic in "Boogeyman 2," the killer in Part Three is once again of supernatural origin. A demonic creature, looking like something from a well-known demented rock band, is knocking off college student, and one girl does her best to stop the slaughter. Unfortunately, she doesn't fare very well. And no one believes her. The opening sequence, involving an old trunk, is a dilly. The rest of the movie unfortunately plods, although the murders do pile up quite rapidly. There's also some brief nudity for the guys to relish. Unfortunately, this boogyeyman is no more scary than the boogeyman in the original. Well three movies makes a series, right? Let's just hope this is the last we will see of this boogeyman.

The Boogeyman manifests itself when a female college student, whose father was psychologist Tobin Bell from the previous film, reads his journal truly believing in it's existence giving the ghoul life. The girl, Audrey(Nikki Sanderson) returns to college where the Boogeyman lifts her off the ground, strangling her as best friend and roommate Sarah(Erin Cahill)looks on in horror. After Audrey's death, Sarah keeps the Boogeyman alive by constantly referring to it, researching past cases where others encountered the legendary ghoul, and insisting to her friends that the thing is real. Soon everyone begins believing it, and her friends are stalked one by one, falling prey to the Boogeyman as it besieges them.Yawner is chock full of wacky death sequences(..such as a girl dragged into a washing machine, one victim's face slammed into a broken bong, another pulled into a chest)and buckets of blood(..blood oozes down walls, out of washer-driers collecting into a pool on the laundry room floor, out of ventilation ducts, splashed all over potential victims). This film is closer to the very first film as the second was more of a slasher. The closet itself(..a source of fear for Barry Watson's character in the original film) has a vital role in perhaps producing some scares to more wary viewers who jump easy. The ghoul itself pops up on folks, appearing, disappearing, then reappearing once again to spook those who decide to believe in the Boogeyman. Director Gary Jones features nudity in this film and often displays these attractive college girls in small, tight shirts and panties. The film has an amusingly ironic twist..the lead female character, Sarah, is a psych major going bonkers thanks to a creature brought to life by her own fears. Sarah even has a radio program with her psychology professor helping students with emotional problems! So imagine how her pals react to claims of a ghoul which threatens her entire dorm(..in the film's best sequence, an entire hall of bloody bodies are seen in Sarah's nightmare, perhaps a premonition). To be honest, I watched this movie because of my wife..I really thought the first two films in the series were crap(..although, I did think the original had a few moments), and didn't enter in to this sequel expecting anything of value. Others might find it a bit scary, but the whole ordeal was rather predictable & the special effects were cheap and tacky for the most part. The characters(victims)were cardboard for the exception of Sarah. The Boogeyman itself resembles a witch from some grimm fairy tale, never on screen for any substantial period of time, just flashes of it's presence attacking victims.

Creepy,gloomy and dark! better even the first one .I didn't expect that but after a few minutes i started to believe that the boogeyman is true :) Great story although nice scenario ,great acting! It is for sure in the top 20 in my list of horror films.I cant tell you i enjoyed it cause a shiver was in my back all the time! that means i enjoyed for sure! i recommend not to see the official rating for this movie cause you ll propably like this film just like i did maybe more.I m not just enthousiastic i really believe this one will give you the creeps. I must not forget to say that the end is unexpected,genius and creepy too.
