There's really "nothing to write home about". The story in this film is not all that. There is nothing original here for sure, no surprises, nothing new from beginning to end. I saw just what I was expecting from the opening credits to the close credits. That all said, what I do like is the fact that they finally created a boogeyman character for us to see, with more than just a glimpse of him, and In my opinion he is a pretty cool looking creation. The acting, sfx, cinematography, setting and atmosphere are really decent. If you have a sort of obsession with this type of film as I do (I also liked the first and second of these), then you'll probably like this one. Overall, I thought it was fairly good; Again, just don't look for anything original here.

Boogeyman 3 opens with Dr. Mitchell Allen's (Tobin Bell) daughter, Audrey (Nikki Sanderson). Audrey proceeds to take a shower and while doing so sees a hand with a black glove. Scared, Audrey gets out and goes to her room to sleep. Her dog, however is up and wants to play ball. To get him away she throw the ball in the closet, After a while, she gets worried her dog hasn't come back yet. She walks to the closet and finds blood lining the closet. She backs away and, with a scream, gets pulled, under her bed.

Sarah Morris (Erin Cahill) is a student who is doing a radio show for her college radio station where she tries to help people with their problems, such as a guy just breaking up with his girlfriend. Soon after she is introduced, Audrey arrives in Sarah's room at night, raving that "He`s everywhere". Sarah lets her stay the night. During Sarah's radio show the next day, Audrey calls to tell Sarah and Dr. Kane about the Boogeyman. They don't believe her, but Sarah leaves, thinking she is suicidal while Dr. Kane remains with her on the phone. The Boogeyman then begins to strangle Audrey when Sarah arrives. When others arrive to see it, Audrey appears to have hanged herself.

Soon after, Sarah discovers the diary amongst Audrey's things. She begins to believe the Boogeyman is real and tries to warn her friends and boyfriend, David (Chuck Hittinger). They refuse to believe her thinking she is dealing with the trauma of her friend dying soon after her mother`s death. Her friends in the dorm begin to disappear, Sarah having visions of their deaths through being pulled into the alternate world of the Boogeyman. People refuse to believe her claims but campus talk of the Boogeyman from hearing her radio show continues to swirl. Sarah begins to believe the Boogeyman gains his power from the legend continuing by people believing he might be real. Dr. Kane begins to worry about her mental stability.

Sarah takes over the radio station to emergency warn the students away, prompting her arrest by campus security. While held in custody, Dr. Kane negotiates her release until the body of Sarah's friend Lindsey is found in a washer. Sarah realizes Dr. Kane actually is beginning to believe when they both witness a light manifestation of the Boogeyman. Dr. Kane, trying to prove she is wrong, enters the room where the light is, and is subsequently beaten to death by the Boogeyman. Sarah then realizes the Boogeyman has been using her fear to warn everyone in order to get everyone to believe in him.

Sarah rushes back to her room to save David who now believes her story and has been reading the diary. She finds him staring off into a black closet, but is unable to prevent the Boogeyman from pulling him in. David is soon-after flung out into the room, disemboweled, covering her in blood. The police and students arrive to find the scene. To prevent the Boogeyman's growth in power, Sarah claims she committed all the murders herself and that the Boogeyman is not real. One of the officers in the elevator reveals he doesn't believe she could have done that by herself. She insists that she did, but the elevator stops and she is pulled up into the elevator shaft by the Boogeyman with the two police officers staring in disbelief as Sarah's cries for help fade away.

One year later, two Freshmen are staying in Sarah's room. One interrupts the other's studies to tell her the story of the "crazy girl" who thought the Boogeyman was real that lived in the room a year ago. It is revealed the college changed the dorm name to keep people from being afraid to move in. The studying girl leaves to go to the library for some peace, noticing that the other seems actually scared to be alone and taunting her as she leaves. Left alone, the other girl is soon attacked and dragged beneath her bed to an unknown fate.

I can't belive that Shara is killed by the boogeyman ! SHe is like the one how protects the other students & she is the one who dies !

The price for this dvd is fantastic, for the amount you get for it. I've seen this in stores for like $20. How can you go wrong?

The first Boogeyman film had some great ideas in it, but to get to them you had to sit through seemingly endless, dull scenes. The second film was like a throwback to 70s and 80s psycho killer films where you are kept guessing the killer's identity to the end. It threw out the supernatural elements of the first film, and involved a series of creative murders, each tailored to a mental asylum's inmate's (strangely enough, all teens) particular phobias, and while it wasn't great at least I didn't feel cheated sitting through it. This third film takes the supernatural creature of the first film, combines that with the serial killings of the second, and throws out anything that was interesting about those two films in the process. As per hundreds of post-Scream horror films that featured dumb teens, no nudity and minimal violence, Boogeyman 3 inexplicably takes all the cliches covered in that film, presents them seriously, and manages to make them even duller than when they were pre-Scream cliches, all apparently packaged for 12-14 year olds. You get the usual gaggle of dull, insipid characters getting killed off in boring, repetitious manners (this time in the oft-used setting of a university dorm) one after the other while making dumb choices. There are no surprises, no suspense, no thrills, nothing, not even any tasteless exploitation. If I had something better to do during the particular night I watched this I would have felt even more ripped off and probably given this one star.

If you hated the first and second films, there's a good chance you aren't going to find this any favorable, but I actually found it entertaining. I wasn't incredibly enamored with the first film but it received a harsher rap than it deserved, the second steers clear of the REAL monster angle opting instead for a slasher spin. Thankfully, Boogeyman 3 gets right back to basics and serves up monster mayhem, COLLEGE DORM STYLE!

Now there's not a ton of nudity or anything on that order, or at least nothing that couldn't be cut by a minute for television, but it does provide viewers with some cool kill sequences and a hideous creature, `nuff said. There's no real plot, per say, and the story is a bit skimpy but that's cool because the characters are either semi-likable or one-dimensional, which is no problem because they're food for the beast anyhow. There is a cool "rug-puller" finale but then, you probably expected that, no?

Fancy that, a film called Boogeyman that actually has...*gasp*...a Boogeyman! Yeah the movie does have some bad CG/camera effects here and there but it all amounts to good, old-fashion genre fun with an 80's vibe. If you enjoyed the first two, chances are you'll be okay with this installment as well. If you're not interested in renting or purchasing, kick back and give it time, there's definitely a SyFy Channel premier in this film's future.

i got this movie only because it was a part 1 and part 2... i haven't seen the other parts.. but boogeyman 3 was ok.. it had some scary parts.. but.. my grandbaby loves scary movies.. he watched it more than i did.........

This is the third boogeyman movie and it's still fresh. I like this one and the second way more than the first movie. The deaths are interesting and the girl slowly losing it is always fun to watch. The boogeyman is cool looking and at least it relates well to the other two.

I wasn't expecting a whole lot from Boogeyman 3, seeing as how I thought the first two were just average. However, Boogeyman 3 isn't average. It was way better than the first two in the series. It really reminded of a cross between A Nightmare on Elm Street and Urban Legend, but that doesn't mean it's a complete copycat. There is some originality and some decent scares, as well as inventive kills. Oh yeah, this movie doesn't really start off that way, but by the end it's a friggin' bloodbath. There's also some t&a, which I'm finding is making a comeback in horror movies, since My Bloody Valentine 3-D and Friday the 2009 also had the t and the a. Overall, I'd say check out Boogeyman 3. It's a real scream!

If you liked Boogeman 1 or 2 you will like this movie too.I would suggest this movie to any horror fan.The story is pretty good.It also has pretty good acting and special effects.I own all 3 movies.And enjoy watching them evertime!

I always have a hard time getting over the title "BoogeyMan" it just seems to be too juvenile a term. But this franchise has done a pretty good job with it. Good horror movies, with good production values are hard to find, There is way too much low budget stuff out there. This is no "I Know What You Did Last Summer", or "Scream (Dimension Collector's Series)" but its decent and makes for a nice night of popcorn and suspense.
