Picture

The Boogeyman (1980)

Horror     Rated R

Plot

A young girl witnesses her brother murder a man through a reflection in a mirror. Twenty years later the mirror is shattered, freeing his evil spirit, which seeks revenge for his death.

Acting

Stars Suzanna Love and Ron James are run of the mill lead characters and performers, and John Carradine is wasted as usual.

Gore

Semi-gory stabbings and impalements.

Sex/Nudity

Some brief toplessness as a shirt is cut off.

Final Thoughts

Directed by the always awful Ulli Lommel, this is by far his best movie, and really the only one worth watching. However it is pretty much an average slasher pic of the times, and it not worth sitting through all his other crappy movies to see. Worth seeing, but your not missing a hole lot if you don't. It's got a descent premise, that a variation of the Halloween formula, and solid tho unspectacular acting and visuals.
