3/5 Better Than...Insomnia?
  by Brian Lueth (Chicago, IL United States)
If you hated the first and second films, there's a good chance you aren't going to find this any favorable, but I actually found it entertaining. I wasn't incredibly enamored with the first film but it received a harsher rap than it deserved, the second steers clear of the REAL monster angle opting instead for a slasher spin. Thankfully, Boogeyman 3 gets right back to basics and serves up monster mayhem, COLLEGE DORM STYLE!

Now there's not a ton of nudity or anything on that order, or at least nothing that couldn't be cut by a minute for television, but it does provide viewers with some cool kill sequences and a hideous creature, `nuff said. There's no real plot, per say, and the story is a bit skimpy but that's cool because the characters are either semi-likable or one-dimensional, which is no problem because they're food for the beast anyhow. There is a cool "rug-puller" finale but then, you probably expected that, no?

Fancy that, a film called Boogeyman that actually has...*gasp*...a Boogeyman! Yeah the movie does have some bad CG/camera effects here and there but it all amounts to good, old-fashion genre fun with an 80's vibe. If you enjoyed the first two, chances are you'll be okay with this installment as well. If you're not interested in renting or purchasing, kick back and give it time, there's definitely a SyFy Channel premier in this film's future.

1/5 The only thing scary about this is i paid to rent it.

Why did I bother to rent this, the first one was decent, the second had little to do with the first and now this one continues off where the last one ended.

But it's so boring, it has no thrills, no scares, no entertainment, just shadows and faces of the boogieman that has too many stupid dream sequences... just avoid this garbage, there is nothing to enjoy for horror or thriller fans, it's main audience is just going to be those morons who flood message boards saying crap like, "OMG, HE/SHES SO HOT, ID PRAISE THEM EVEN IF THEY WHERE VOTED THE WORST ACTOR OF ALL TIME, WHERE CAN I GET PICTURES OF THEM"





5/5 THIRD TIME IS THE CHARM!
  by Ben Wasden (Uriah, AL)
I wasn't expecting a whole lot from Boogeyman 3, seeing as how I thought the first two were just average. However, Boogeyman 3 isn't average. It was way better than the first two in the series. It really reminded of a cross between A Nightmare on Elm Street and Urban Legend, but that doesn't mean it's a complete copycat. There is some originality and some decent scares, as well as inventive kills. Oh yeah, this movie doesn't really start off that way, but by the end it's a friggin' bloodbath. There's also some t&a, which I'm finding is making a comeback in horror movies, since My Bloody Valentine 3-D and Friday the 2009 also had the t and the a. Overall, I'd say check out Boogeyman 3. It's a real scream!

1/5 Horror? Ha Ha
  by G. Teslovich
If you've seen obviously red dyed water pouring down walls or out of some fixtures and a black cape from any Halloween costume display store then you've seen this movie many times before. Unless, I figure the following:
(1.) If you gave it 5 stars then this is the first horror movie you've ever seen (or you work for the studio).
(2.) If you gave it 4 stars then you once saw a horror movie in the 70s.
(3.) If you gave it 3 stars the you're Pollyanna's offspring and you are kind even to spiders and slugs.
Finally, since I watched Vacancy 2 the same day I conclude that I must not have a life.

3/5 Don't let The Boogeyman get you...
  by Desiree (Missouri, USA)
There's really "nothing to write home about". The story in this film is not all that. There is nothing original here for sure, no surprises, nothing new from beginning to end. I saw just what I was expecting from the opening credits to the close credits. That all said, what I do like is the fact that they finally created a boogeyman character for us to see, with more than just a glimpse of him, and In my opinion he is a pretty cool looking creation. The acting, sfx, cinematography, setting and atmosphere are really decent. If you have a sort of obsession with this type of film as I do (I also liked the first and second of these), then you'll probably like this one. Overall, I thought it was fairly good; Again, just don't look for anything original here.
