Review of Boogeyman 3 (2008) by Asd A — 15 Jul 2009
Much, much better than the first two films. Boogeyman 3 returns to the supernatural elements of the first film whilst tying in plot strands from the second. In a nice, and much improved, stylistic choice, the Boogeyman is now supernatural, but physical, not CGI.
It works so much better. The film has some interesting concepts on fear and legends, though most of this can be taken from The Nightmare on Elm Street series. Despite an almost brave ending, it can't quite push the sacrifice through til the end.
It's the clichéd slasher style deaths that break up the narrative, it could have kept things so simple. Some nice jumps, even if the scares aren't long lasting.
