A sequel to "Boogeyman," a supernatural horror flick from two or three years earlier, was hardly needed, and this so-called sequel in fact is not a true sequel. The killer in this outing is no demonic force that lurks in closets. It is a flesh and blood killer, and so this is in reality a slasher movie, pure and simple. Don't get me wrong: It is a decent slasher movie, with some fine and gory kills and lots of jump scenes, but it is simply a slasher movie. Basic plot: a girl who witnessed her parents' deaths years before confines herself to an asylum to deal with her ongoing fears of a boogeyman. We get to meet her fellow inmates, and soon enough they are getting knocked off one by one. The ending is a bit of a cheat if you have been paying close attention. Tobin Bell of SAW fame is on board as a creepy psychiatrist. The cast otherwise is all young people and may remind some of the third ELM STREET flick.
