Boogeyman 2 is a 2007 supernatural horror film edited and directed by
Jeff Betancourt and written by Brian Sieve. It stars Danielle Savre as
Laura Porter, a young woman who as a child witnessed the murder of her
parents by an unknown assailant. Believing the killer to have been the
Boogeyman, she participates in group therapy to overcome her phobia.
After the creature becomes a reality, her fellow patients are murdered
one by one, with their fears being used against them. Following the
financial success of the previous film, production began in October
2006, with filming taking place at the former Linda Vista Community
Hospital in Los Angeles. After a sold-out screening at the Screamfest
Horror Film Festival in October 2007, the film was released direct-to-
video in January 2008. Critics described the plot and characters as
unoriginal and boring but praised the death sequences and a more
realistic approach to the Boogeyman, setting the film apart from
contemporary creature features. Although Boogeyman 2 earned only around
$4.3 million on a budget of $4.5 million, it was followed by Boogeyman
3, released in October 2008.
