BAD GIRL BOOGEY follows Angel whose mother was brutally murdered one Halloween night, when blood was shed by a deranged killer wearing a parasitic mask cursed with black magic and bigotry. Sixteen years later, when Angel's best friend is slaughtered by a killer with the same mask, they must overcome their personal struggles, fight their fear, and find the masked killer before he, or it, slaughters everyone they hold dear.

This movie is perhaps best described as a clunky but endearingly heartfelt DIY depiction of life among a group of LGBTQ+ kids, striving to live joyfully while being plagued by evil forces, anxious to eradicate them.

A uniquely queer reclamation of slasher horror.

Film Inquiry

Bad Girl Boogey may not be a great film (and one can forgive it for its low-budget limitations), but it has the ambition and heart to pursue a whole new lore.

Cinema Crazed

The script just sadly hobbles the entire film, bogging it down in tedium and plot elements that ultimately make no sense.

... An unabashedly queer film that effectively captures a certain punky queer Gen Z aesthetic.

Some pretty nasty visuals in this Aussie slasher horror. It really is let down by a poorly conceived plot and wooden acting and dialogue. One positive for a low budget horror flick... impressive special makeup effects given the budget... that is something to be proud of. However, I'm afraid that is it for Bad Girl Boogey.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

There is a decent story in here . The concept of an ancient mask when wearing it will possess you. That is actually not a bad concept at all . Problem for me is the execution and characters or lack of characters. We do not really get to know our main characters or get much of a chance to care for them but more importantly they were not coming off as likable . Good makeup Fx and some good shots here and there . The audio was bad a lot of times but the lines all felt improvised and not really connecting so maybe the audio doesn't matter ? There is a similar movie on Shudder called "The Skull" that has great special FX, production value and a out of this world story that I would recommend instead .
