The Boogey Man (1980)



Jerry Gross Organization
Directed by Ulli Lommel
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Anchor Bay)

After a childhood trauma in which a young boy kills his mother's boyfriend, he grows up to be a mute living on a farm with his sister. She suffers from nightmares of the same night. Her husband convinces her to visit her childhood house in the hopes of curing her. Instead, she is attacked by unseen forces and possessed by the spirit of the dead boyfriend through a haunted mirror. A priest is called in to help and they must find and destroy all the pieces of the mirror. Ruined by poor special effects and a derivative plot. The first of many collaborations between the director and his then-wife, star Suzanna Love.
