A young girl witnesses her brother murder their mom\u2019s boyfriend through a reflection in a mirror. Twenty years later the mirror is shattered, freeing the dead boyfriend\u2019s evil spirit, which seeks revenge for his death. Directed by: Ulli Lommel Writing Credits: (screenplay by) Ulli Lommel, Suzanna Love, David Herschel; (written by) Ulli Lommel Music by: Tim Krog Cinematography by: David Sperling, Jochen Breitenstein Editing by: Terrell Tannen Selected Cast: Suzanna Love as Lacey Ron James as Jake John Carradine as Dr. Warren Nicholas Love as Willy Raymond Boyden as Kevin Felicite Morgan as Aunt Helen Bill Rayburn as Uncle Ernest Llewelyn Thomas as Father Reilly Jay Wright as Young Willy Natasha Schiano as Young Lacey Gillian Gordon as Lacey and Willy\u2019s Mother Howard Grant as The Lover Jane Pratt as Jane Lucinda Ziesing as Susan David Swim as Timmy Katie Casey as Teenager Ernest Meier as Teenager Charles David Richards as Teenager (as Stony Richards) Claudia Porcelli as Teenager Catherine Tambini as Katy Sporting a title that has burrowed its way into every child\u2019s nightmares, The Boogey Man also borrows from or pays homage to several previous horror films, among them The Exorcist (1973), Halloween (1978), and The Amityville Horror (1979). Helmed by the famous (or is it infamous?) director, Ulli Lommel, this low-budget supernatural slasher is a family affair: Lommel\u2019s wife, Susanna Love, stars; the cast is spotted with her friends and relatives; and it\u2019s even shot on her uncle\u2019s farm. Does the result live up to its chilling title? The 80s Grue-Crew has plenty to say on that subject and many more as they frequently get sidetracked in this episode. At the time of this writing, The Boogey Man is available to stream from Shudder and Amazon PPV. The movie is available on physical media from Vinegar Syndrome in a 2-disc Blu-ray edition: one 4K Ultra HD disc and one standard format Blu-ray disc.
