Having now watched Boogeyman, Return of The Boogeyman, Revenge of The Boogeyman and now Boogeyman 2 - Redux, I'm not going to waste a lot of time on this review. If you have any interest in The Boogeyman at all, just watch the first one. The rest are basically a rehash of it anyway.
This movie is sadly no different. Of the running time, about 90% is made up of footage of the original Boogeyman movie. Believe it or not, they managed to get some footage from the second one in there too. The only piece of footage that is new is an interspersed police interview with Ulli Lommel (conducted 22 years after the event) that is being conducted. He claims to have no proper recollection of the events, but manages to narrate the entire events that happen in the first movie.
I'm afraid folks, there is absolutely nothing more to it. It seems Ulli Lommel wanted to create what he feels SHOULD have been the sequel to the original, so he completely ignored the fact Boogeyman 2 has already been made.
Sorry for the scant review, but really this movie should never have been released. Big fat avoid obviously.
I spent the extra time tonight watching next weeks movie to review as I won't be available next week.

Return of the Boogeyman - Lisa's Review
I'm not going to waste a lot of time on this weeks review, as to be honest there's very little to say.
Last year, myself and Will set ourselves the challenge to watch and review all of the movies on the DPP List (find our reviews HERE). Amongst these movies were The Boogeyman and Revenge of the Boogeyman, the first 2 movies in this trilogy. I give you links to these movies, purely as this movie is quite simply a rehash of flashbacks from The Boogeyman with a few minutes of new (and extremely poor) footage. Revenge of the Boogeyman oddly enough was also a rehash of The Boogeyman.... Are they honestly so proud of this movie, they desire to make it 3 times???
This time we are treated to flashbacks to the first movie by way of visions of a supposed psychic who narrates over everything that is happening in every scene in a really monotone voice, to allow her psychiatrist an idea of what's going on. It's honestly like some kind of help for ridiculously stupid people who always want to know 'what's happening?'... maybe they should introduce this option alongside subtitles?
