An absurd but proficiently grisly horror cheapie.

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.

Slow and somewhat uneventful, trying to master some type of cinematic creep that doesn't register as intended.

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.

This combines The Entity, and maybe other obscure titles and makes something quite original with it.

A more accurate title would be 'Death Mirror: The Mirror That Kills', or 'John Carradine Makes a Lousy Psychiatrist'.
