Gary Arnold Washington Post 12/21/2015
An absurd but proficiently grisly horror cheapie. Go to Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast 08/28/2024
3.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 09/18/2023
C
Slow and somewhat uneventful, trying to master some type of cinematic creep that doesn't register as intended. Go to Full Review Alan Jones Starburst 07/28/2022
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. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 12/28/2014

Steve D 03/12/2023 Put together from pieces of far better horror films. See more 06/28/2019 Best slasher movie about a killer mirror in the 80s See more 05/31/2019 This combines The Entity, and maybe other obscure titles and makes something quite original with it. See more 07/09/2018 A more accurate title would be 'Death Mirror: The Mirror That Kills', or 'John Carradine Makes a Lousy Psychiatrist'. See more delysid d 12/30/2017 Incredibly dumb and not scary, still i enjoyed it See more 08/29/2016 Boogeyman is a movie that is worth a watch if your fan of 80s horror unfortunately this film doesn't have most to offer beside that the film is only an 1:22 minutes so you be prepared for a lot of dragging and pointless scenes the pacing is awful and the movie is to short to have smaller and slower moments the audio is horrible the acting isn't the worst but there aren't really any good funny performances like films like silent night deadly night overall if you seen a lot of 80s horror I recommend checking it See more Read all reviews
