Gary Arnold Washington Post An absurd but proficiently grisly horror cheapie. Dec 21, 2015 Full Review Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: D Mar 3, 2007 Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast The Boogey Man offers an earnestness to filmmaking and the horror genre that is a lot of fun when it allows itself to go all the way. Shaky plots and lore but a fun time all around. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Slow and somewhat uneventful, trying to master some type of cinematic creep that doesn't register as intended. Rated: C Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Alan Jones Starburst The film is very evidently a low budget quickie but Lommel's direction raises it above the general appalling level of recent offerings with confidence in his material and noteworthy imagination. Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Mind-blowing assault on the senses. Rated: B Dec 28, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Shiba Still a classic one for me! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review Steve D Put together from pieces of far better horror films. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/12/23 Full Review marco b Though there are some good ideas, they really aren't fleshed out that well. It's more of The Exorcist meets … well name any slasher. Lacey and Willy are siblings who have a terrible secret from their childhood, which manifests as a ghost. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Best slasher movie about a killer mirror in the 80s Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This combines The Entity, and maybe other obscure titles and makes something quite original with it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A more accurate title would be 'Death Mirror: The Mirror That Kills', or 'John Carradine Makes a Lousy Psychiatrist'. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
