BOOGEYMAN 3
He’s back yet again.
PLOT
Sarah is a student at a generic college studying psychology. She also happens to be good friends with a girl named Audrey. Audrey as it turns out is the daughter of the doctor played by Tobin Bell in the second movie. When she goes back to the hospital, she encounters the boogeyman who decides to follow her back to the school. Audrey becomes convinced that the boogeyman is following her and is now out to get her.
TRIVIA
The first movie was referenced by clips, while the events of the second movie were mentioned frequently, including a photograph of Tobin Bell.
THOUGHTS
This go around the boogeyman is actually a little more intense than in the other movies. Someone said it looked like the girl from The Ring and that’s kind of true, this boogeyman looks a little too CGI and moves pretty fast. Considering the other movies only showed the character as either a shadow or a human portraying the figure, that’s a little bonus.
However I’m also a little confused. I thought at the end of the second movie that they showed the boogeyman as just a man, one of the former patients that saw his parents killed and was dressing up in costume. Here they show the boogeyman as once again supernatural and as the thing that killed the characters in the last movie. Of course it’s been awhile since I saw the second movie so maybe I’m a little confused.
This was your typical straight to DVD horror movie release, though with a little more blood than I was expecting. It seems like they’re really stretching with the idea of the boogeyman as a villain and while this isn’t the greatest movie, it really wasn’t necessarily bad.
