Too really just break it down. This film was OK. It wasn't amazing but it wasn't crap neither! I somewhat knew, upon seeing this one that it would lack the hard core, blood guts & hard hitting ass kicking intensity the Boogeyman 2 had!

The way I see it. It was more like Boogeyman went from OK to bloody amazing then down to so-so! Boogeyman being OK. Boogeyman 2 being bloody amazing! Then Boogeyman 3 being so-so!

The deaths were OK but weren't as graphic as the 2nd installment! Although the Boogeyman 2 film was 'unrated'! Which would explain it's extremely graphic content! But even still, Boogeyman 3 just lacked that grim terror that Boogeyman 2 had! It was quite disappointed when I saw this thinking it was have something good! But not half as good as Boogeyman 2! I do hope a Boogeyman 4 will be made!

Overall it was OK 5/10

Supernatural weirdness on a college campus as a girl sees her room mate commit suicide and there after begins to see the boogeyman doing in her classmates everywhere.

This is a bland direct to DVD sequel that isn't as horrible as you might think, but was obviously made for money not love. Its too mechanical to be scary with the film's choice of shots being weak, especially since many shots and sequences go on to long. Its almost good, but not quite. Pretty much unnecessary since its nether good enough to worth watching nor bad enough to use as a target for pithy remarks.

somewhere around 4 out of 10

Well I really liked Boogeyman 2 because it turned out to be a Slasher movie, I gave that 8/10

Boogeyman 3 has gone back to being supernatural again!, It's not a slasher movie this time, some will be disappointed by that! (But think the gore, will make up for it, (I think any way)

This movie starte off with Audery the Daughter of Dr. Mitchell Allen, who was killed off in boogeyman 2, She then get ready for a bath and she goes underwater see a shadow heading towards the bath but she gets out nothing was there! As she gets closer to her bed, she is Drag under the bed!(At this point you may be thinking, wait have we not see this before?)

Next scene, we see students in Collage, having their lunch and Sarah is worried that her friend not answering her phone!

Later when Sarah goes to the dorm and then Aurdery who was sucked under the bed is still alive, she tells Sarah that the Boogeyman, who killed her dad and now it's after her!, Of course no one believes her! Not even her best friend, who is a part of Radio show!

Later that night, when Sarah is on a Radio show, Aurdery call up and saying someone going kill me, I can't hide he is everywhere( Meanwhile Sarah rushing to help her friend )While she is talking to other man on radio show and he tells her that her dad was killed by man who pretend to be the boogeyman!

At that moment in the dorm the lights go out and boogeyman is next to Aurdery, it grabs her and you still hear her choking on the radio show and then Sarah walk into the room to see Aurdery being killed by the Boogeyman and the Boogeyman also see her and Sarah could see the evil in its eyes, she quickly goes back to hall and tells her other friend it killed her, has he looked into the room, now it looks like she hung herself but Sarah know what really happened.

At this point of course, she knows no one will believe her, if she tells anyone! So she keeps it too herself until she start having vision/Dreams of thing that going to happen to her friends or have already happened to her friends and th4 whole Dorm will be killed by the Boogeyman !

When her friends start going missing, she knows everything see saw in her vision/Dream is coming true!, She has to warn everyone before it 's too late!

There is small twist near end of movie but some migh say it not even twist at all! And This movie will also tell you why all 3 movie are different! (Which I think was really good idea)

I really enjoyed watching this movie, there was some very good creepy scenes in this movie like Ju-on-The Grudge scene (For me anyway)!

Death scenes in this movie, were really good but not as gory as boogeyman 2 however there some decent mount of gore in this movie! As the Boogeyman his self, great make up affect was great, loved the way it looked!

The acting was really good for a Straight to DVD and an third movie in the series

I put my hands up and confess that this movie, did creepy me out just a little bit!

The one thing I didn't like about this was the last ten seconds of movie, Don't you just hate when you get those silly last scare scenes at the end of horror movies these days!

Give this movie 7/8 out 10 still not sure what to give it!

I have to say that this was a whole lot better than Boogyman II - The Wretched. I actually got into the storyline, albeit a storyline reminiscent of A Nightmare on Elm Street (believe fuels the monster), and though that the acting from the lead characters was above par for a film of this genre.

Yes there were some plot holes, massive amounts of stereotyping and some run of the mill "scenes designed to scare".

However I would be happy to watch this film again whereas I would rather stick pins in my eyes than sit through number Boogyman II again. The end leaves a nice follow on for a sequel and I can see there being a few of those to come.

Boogeyman 3 is set at Wolfbridge University in Northern California where young gifted psychiatrist Sarah (Erin Cahill) is studying, one night her friend Audrey (Nikki Sanderson) turns up looking for help. Audrey's father was apparently killed by the Boogeyman & now Audrey is frightened that the Boogeyman will kill her too, as a rational sort of person Sarah tries to calm her down & assure Audrey that the Boogeyman does not exist. However Sarah sees the Boogeyman strangle Audrey as her predictions came true & soon believes her late friend, as she tries to warn other's about the Boogeyman it feeds off people's fear of it & once you believe in the Boogeyman he can pop up at any time & kill you. The more people Sarah tells the more people die...

Directed by Gary Jones this is the third entry in the Boogeyman franchise & while I definitely know I have seen the previous two I can't really remember that much about them other than Boogeyman 2 (2007) was surprisingly good, here Boogeyman 3 isn't anything that special but at the same time I suppose it's alright. First thing to say is that Boogeyman 3 is a teen slasher set on a University campus so in that regard it's not going to win any awards for originality & any self respecting horror fan will probably have seen dozens of similarly themed films as some killer bumps off the students as one final girl is left to run around a bit at the end. To be fair to it Boogeyman 3 isn't too bad of it's type, the central character of Sarah is given more depth than one might expect with decent amounts of background although her mates & potential victims are strictly walking clichés. The killer here is a sort of Freddy Krueger type who has supernatural powers although some of the killings don't make sense as why were the first two victims bodies never found yet that girl shoved in the washing machine was? Where did the bodies go? Were they in some sort of alternate reality that Sarah visited in her dreams? Or was Sarah just dreaming & nothing else? The idea of seeing into the future (the corridor full of bodies) is mentioned but nothing much becomes of it & again it's only used in one part rather than as a consistent theme. The notion that legends fuel themselves & the ideas behind are briefly explored but again not much comes of it. I also want to know why Sarah left that jug in the sink & left the tap running, I guess she doesn't have to pay the bill.

Although not directly following on the event's of Boogeyman 2 are mentioned & it was Audrey's father that was killed in the previous film. There's a fair amount of blood splatter but not much graphical gore, a dead body with it's front cut open is about as gory as it gets. The film constantly uses that same old horror film tricks of false scares, lights going off suddenly & doors opening by themselves, you know the sort of thing. Although a bit annoying at times at least the makers try. Even though there's a scene set inside a girls changing rooms only one pair of breasts are seen, disappointing.

Although set in Northern California this was filmed in Sofia in Bulgaria like so many straight to video offerings are these days. The film is well made for sure with decent production values & special effects. The acting is alright & leading lady Erin Cahill is very attractive here.

Boogeyman 3 is an alright time waster, an attractive leading lady who has decent material to work with helps but a few unexplored & underdeveloped ideas means this had the potential to be better than it is. Not bad but not exactly great either, worth a watch.

I happen to watch BOOGEYMAN 3 on a movie channel and right off the bat I realized that I was watching a terrible combo of 3 classic horror films: SUSPIRIA, A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 (1986). The film starts with a hysterical girl who stays at a friend's room. Like the beginning of SUSPIRIA, the hysterical girl is terrified of everything around her, feels she's being pursued and eventually is confronted by a malefic being. The entire scene was so reminiscent of SUSPIRIA (minus the style of course) that I was having a severe case of deja vu. But as it went along, the tormented girl is attacked by the boogeyman while talking on a live radio show with her cell phone, which is identical to the plot point in Tobe Hooper's underrated Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. And this was just the set-up at the beginning, so it was downhill after that as it followed the very familiar horror template set up by A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. The entire film was terrible. Clichéd to the nth degree: the few male actors are dispatched quickly and then the rest of the film is spent on tormenting the bad actresses, huh, the female characters for our viewing pleasure. The girls are often in state of undress and such juvenile moments that will get 12 year olds excited. The film even ends with two anonymous girls stripping down to their underwear in their dorm room before the silly looking boogeyman makes a predictable appearance.

No style, no shocks, no suspense, no originality, no logic. There's even a "horror" scene which takes place in the laundromat room, which we've have seen a million times in films like PULSE. With films like this, the horror genre is all but dead.

I put the spoiler warning on just in case. I'm not going to reveal anything major, but a few little things.

The first two films in this series are not very good. Part 1 was a total mess of a film that had no real focus. Part 2 was a very gory, but somewhat boring slasher that had no real story to it. Part 3 is the strongest of the bunch, and i don't mean that as a backhanded compliment. This film actually gets a lot right, but also a few things wrong.

Lets get the bad out of the way. The characters in this film are not very well written. They are not given time to develop, and because of that they fall into the cookie cutter college students. Now, with a movie called Boogeyman 3 one isn't really expecting great characters, but to be honest, if they had been given a little more depth, it probably would have pushed this movie from being a fun haunted house flick into a hidden straight to video gem.

Also, the characters are not very smart. Actually, they are very dumb. They hear a noise and instead of running the other way, they investigate it. Do you know how many characters willingly walk into closets or dark rooms? Yeah... not the brightest kids.

The third negative is a few of the effects. This one is actually pretty minor. Most of the gore and blood is practical, but when the digital effects pop up they stick out like a sore thumb. Luckily they are few and far between. Most of the effects are done on camera.

So, with the bad out of the way, lets get to the good.

This film is entertaining, it keeps a nice balance between blood and gore and being a haunted house, or in this case dorm film. It has entertaining kills, and a few decent jump scares. The Boogeyman costume is a little weak, but it is kept in the shadows enough where it doesn't stand out.

The film is also very well made. This director knew what he was doing, and created a very nice look with the film. The pace moves quickly, and the story is very clear, with a strong ending. Actually, character stupidity aside, this movie probably has the best script out of all three. The story is fully developed, and has a clear reason for why things are happening.

This film wisely drops the practical explanation from the second film, and returns to the supernatural roots of the first film, but avoids all the child psychology that the first film seemed to hold on to. Instead we have a clear cut reason for the Boogeyman's actions, and it makes the world of difference.

Over all I went into this film with the lowest of expectations. The first film was watchable, the second film was a total bore, but this film surprised me. It kept me interested and entertained through out, and at no point did I feel cheated by the pay off. Don't expect the next great horror film, but just be ready for a decent movie that hearkens back to the 80's slasher and monster films.

The comment for Boogeyman sucks, while 2 gets better, here comes the Boogeyman 3 and I must said it's best.

Boogeyman 3 goes psychological, trying to explain how boogeyman works. Just like many other horror movies, boogeyman feeds on people's fear, it's what "we" make the boogeyman alive, very old school but it works.

It started with Dr. Mitchell Allen (Tobin Bell from Boogeyman 2)'s daugther Audery, who read about her father's dairy telling what happened in the clinic, making her believed about the boogeyman.

Laura, who's her college roommate, witnessed Audery "hanged" herself made her to wonder if boogeyman is real. While her friends start missing, she has to believe it's all about the boogeyman and she must warn everyone. Turned out that Laura realized it's her who make the boogeyman real.

The Boogeyman manifests itself when a female college student, whose father was psychologist Tobin Bell from the previous film, reads his journal truly believing in it's existence giving the ghoul life. The girl, Audrey(Nikki Sanderson) returns to college where the Boogeyman lifts her off the ground, strangling her as best friend and roommate Sarah(Erin Cahill)looks on in horror. After Audrey's death, Sarah keeps the Boogeyman alive by constantly referring to it, researching past cases where others encountered the legendary ghoul, and insisting to her friends that the thing is real. Soon everyone begins believing it, and her friends are stalked one by one, falling prey to the Boogeyman as it besieges them.

Yawner is chock full of wacky death sequences(..such as a girl dragged into a washing machine, one victim's face slammed into a broken bong, another pulled into a chest)and buckets of blood(..blood oozes down walls, out of washer-driers collecting into a pool on the laundry room floor, out of ventilation ducts, splashed all over potential victims). This film is closer to the very first film as the second was more of a slasher. The closet itself(..a source of fear for Barry Watson's character in the original film) has a vital role in perhaps producing some scares to more wary viewers who jump easy. The ghoul itself pops up on folks, appearing, disappearing, then reappearing once again to spook those who decide to believe in the Boogeyman. Director Gary Jones features nudity in this film and often displays these attractive college girls in small, tight shirts and panties. The film has an amusingly ironic twist..the lead female character, Sarah, is a psych major going bonkers thanks to a creature brought to life by her own fears. Sarah even has a radio program with her psychology professor helping students with emotional problems! So imagine how her pals react to claims of a ghoul which threatens her entire dorm(..in the film's best sequence, an entire hall of bloody bodies are seen in Sarah's nightmare, perhaps a premonition). To be honest, I watched this movie because of my wife..I really thought the first two films in the series were crap(..although, I did think the original had a few moments), and didn't enter in to this sequel expecting anything of value. Others might find it a bit scary, but the whole ordeal was rather predictable & the special effects were cheap and tacky for the most part. The characters(victims)were cardboard for the exception of Sarah. The Boogeyman itself resembles a witch from some grimm fairy tale, never on screen for any substantial period of time, just flashes of it's presence attacking victims.
