Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Hadrina
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Loui Blair
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Years after a horrible accident, a woman still terrified of the Boogeyman checks into a mental facility to get over it, but when someone starts killing off the residents she realizes it's here to prey on her fears and tries to overcome them in hopes of dealing with the demon.This was a highly enjoyable and entertaining slasher. One of the best aspects is the rather great premise that it has where the fact that it uses the clichéd facing-fears gimmick to an advantage. There's plenty of set-ups to make it work, which is where the fun of this one actually comes from where each patient has a therapeutic exercise segment devoted to try and overcome their fear, and there's some greatness to this when it goes onto the kills. These here are exceptionally fun as they're fully encompassing of the fears and actually have the added plus of being expertly designed scenes to exploit a fun set of fears, from being stuck in the dark basement for the one with a fear of the dark to the cockroaches in the food for the germaphobe and another with a cutting problem strapped down while maggots are poured onto them and a knife left in easy reach. The kills overall are really brutal even when not taking advantage of their fears leading to quite a bloody series of scenes here which is just all sorts of awesome with an insanely bloody climax that is one of the greatest parts of the film. This is the highlight of the film, which is a long, really great final chase through the basement of the building in an ultra-creepy showdown that gets a lot right and the length easily makes it work. Due to taking place in the hospital with the closed in hallways, darkened rooms and general layout that provides this one with a stellar location to work with that has a great setting overall here. The killer's mask is really cool-looking as well, going with a really well-hidden cloak and a spectacular-looking demon-mask that stands out as overall, this was a greatly entertaining slasher. This one here didn't have all that many flaws. The main one here is the lame ending this one has. The resolution with the killer and the first few parts of the police are good enough, but then the film decides to tack on the ending from another film verbatim that was completely loathed, and while unexpected and a nice twist, doesn't make much sense and isn't really needed. The last part is that there's a really unnecessary beginning which makes it unclear what's going on. There's flashbacks, dreams and more thrown in which make it hard to understand what's going. As well, the attempts to tie this one into the rest of the franchise aren't all that worthwhile since it's barely even mentioned and could've easily been left-out such is the tenuous connection made here. These here are the film's only real flaws.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Nudity, Graphic Language, a mild sex scene and drug use.

After seeing the first one I thought it was OK but when I saw this! WHOA! It was amazing!!! It was Gory! Raw! Uncut! Intense! Suspenseful! The story line was rich in terms of how twisted it was! That the Boogeyman was playing on their fears in order to kill them! The setting was fitting, a dark creepy mental hospital + the Boogeyman = perfect combination! The ending was twisted when it turned out her brother was the killer who was possessed by the spirit of the Boogeyman & when she thought it was him when she killed the Boogeyman all revealed to be this woman who was in charge of the young adults in the mental institution & she was considered a wacko & taken away by police! Overall it was a kick-ass film! Better than the first one which didn't have any gore at all in it! The deaths were epic & very quivering not to mention gruesome to the core!!This one will blow you away for sure! 10/10 MUST SEE IT!

the 1st movie was "interesting" to say the least but this sequel i just don't know what to say about except maybe the title and thats predictable.so basically 2 siblings went to a asylum to get help from their fear of the boogeyman OK understandable, but you'd think that the so-called boogeyman himself would be an actual entity rather than laura's own brother who actually went deranged after his visit from the hospital but no they decided to stick with a slasher esque type of movie not supernatural.but the one thing i can't quite understand was that if the boogeyman was laura's brother (henry) all along then who (or what) killed their parents when they were 8 and 11 was it just coincidence or was there something in this movie that we overlooked all along?

Boogeyman 2 is the sequel to one of the worst horror films I have seen during the last 10 years.This sequel is better than the first part...but it also is a pathetic crap.Besides of the adequate performances from Tobin Bell and Reneé O' Connor,there is nothing to recommend in Boogeyman 2.The screenplay is horribly bad,the characters are completely generic and the movie is tremendously tedious from its first scene to its last one.Jeff Betancourt,who was the editor of some very competent movies (like The Good Girl or The Ruins),made his first work as a director in this movie,and it would be better if he goes back to editing movies,because the direction from Boogeyman 2 is pathetic for many reasons,but mainly,because it never finds a good tone and it is very chaotic.Boogeyman 2 belongs to the worst kind of horror cinema and I suggest you to avoid this big piece of crap.As I said,it's better (or,more properly,less bad) than the first part,but it's still unbearable and painful to watch.
