Ulli Lommel co-stars in both versions of this movie based around telling stories you weren't there for and killer toothbrushes. phelous.com / phelous Originally Released: July 26, 2011
Man and I thought Psycho Santa cornered the market on characters obtusely telling stories! "Anyway, to make a long story short, the Boogieman killed them."
The shaving cream kill remains me of the lady who got killed by the bathroom mirror tapping her on the head! Surprised Phelous didn't bring it up! Also the light ladder tap & tailpipe fellatio scene is kinda like the car door tap & spike makeout scene! At least, the mirror shard's bad kills are somewhat consistent! Also a slasher killer electric toothbrush 🪥 actually sounds pretty good!
I honestly feel a little bad about Lommel... I think he's literally insane. He keeps making these bizarre barely-there movies that all seem identical to each other, and you know what they say about doing the same thing over and over while expecting a new result.
I feel like Lommel turned down studio involvement and did Stock Footage Hell because he was afraid big studios would "ruin" Boogeyman 1 by adding onto the lore with ridiculous asspulls and cheapen the value of his work ala Nightmare on Elm Street's sequels which turned Freddy into a straight up Lethal Joke Character... with Pop Culture mostly remembering the Freddy's Dead take (YOU FORGOT THE POWER GLOVE!) as opposed to the original (I'm your boyfriend now Nancy!), And further "protected" his movie by trying to make sure the sequels were made were hard to find aside from versions edited to include EVEN MORE stock footage. But.... the problem with Lommel's logic is this is like being in high school and trying to stop the bully from stealing your lunch by shitting yourself while holding your lunchbox behind you. You might successfully prevent the theft, but you don't exactly come out looking like Wes Craven
I love Lommel, he's the only director to take his movie and contradict it with his "sequels". And he's the only one who thinks that using footage from the first movie and only adding a bit of original footage counts as a sequel.
it must be really hard to get a copy if you had to get one with Brazillian-Portuguese subs.Cinema Snob also had to review some movies with those subs too.As a Brazillian,I wonder how did you get a copy of it,Phelous.Seriously,I never had any idea this...thing was released in my country...
Honestly, the ending sequence you guys did was scarier and more entertaining than the entire movie. Was this movie Lommel's idea of an "art film" or something? Everything is so dark and doesn't make any sense, especially the ending sequence with him.
Haven't seen the film, but by this review it is a satire of film industry exploiting traumatic events to entertain people. In Irony, Lommel did it again only without the studio help. Possibly why the redux was done. That or Lommel was really embarrassed of how the film turned out.
I must have seen this review a dozen times and only now did I catch the joke in the last scene, where Phelous has this massive microphone stuck on his chest lmao.
The exhaust wasn’t even hot! If it was all warmed up, there’s melting and fusing (have to rip skin clean off to escape) but that wouldn’t be hot enough to weld!
Laziest director and worst sequel to anything in fiction ever. Say what you will about movies that rehash the plots of their predecessors, at least they don't use stock-footage from their previous works to fill up 90 percent of the movie, yell "Done!", and walk off.
its like he doesnt care and is lazy but at the same time he keeps repeating his movies constantly as if he's really proud of them and is generally trying to get a point across aswell . like theres no logic with that man , ever !
It could be worse, the new footage could be shot on shitteo while the original was shot on film, making the flashbacks clash with the new stuff dramatically. Crazy Fat Ethel 2 anyone?
It's pretty bad that I'm not sure whether the "Without people there wouldn't be... anybody." line was mean to be joking or whether it was the actress corpsing because the line was so dumb.
You know it is a shame the way it all went down at TGWTG but I do enjoy watching old Phelous reviews with all the cameos. He was the only producer's videos that I enjoyed having cameos pop up in.
The shaving cream makes sense, but just barely. It could have gotten up her nose and mouth and suffocated her, but I would think that it would take longer and would be an easy problem to solve with some water.
I kept thinking this movie was about evil broken mirrors until Phelous mention the Boogeyman at 12:43! Is the mirror the Boogeyman?! I'm really lost, someone help.
The full lyrics can be found online. Just google "Oh Phelous lyrics" and it should be the first result (that guy with the glasses wiki). And a clearer version of the song can also be found on Sad Panda's own channel, I think.
It's just funny that so little of them seem to actually understand what a boogeyman is and how it's supposed to work. I think there IS a good movie in the concept if someone would just do it the way it's supposed to be done and stop overthinking it or trying to twist it one way or another.
Another great video, Phelan. Oh, well, at least they tried! Where did you film the review? I like how your card in this is The Brave little Toaster horror movie edition. It's like a movie, it's a B movie show.
I would like to clarify that( On top of everything else ), the Portuguese subtitles suck. Like... Really, really suck. As in, why did they even bothered to put those in if they clearly dont even have a grasp of the language and just threw it all on Google Translator?
I can really see why the director preferred the first movie so much. The sequels are really pointless (especially the "special edition" which, well, he has nobody to blame but himself for that noise) and this one's story basically requires the protagonist of the first one needlessly holding onto something that ends up causing all the deaths of this film. Not only does the setup make no sense but she's essentially solely responsible for all deaths in this film. Though why the director thinks that the first Boogeyman film is such a masterpiece, I have no clue...
Worst director's cut ever. At least others had extended, alternative or extra scenes, and not practically a behind the scenes and "the making of" commentary. That you would find in bonus features of a original release. It's terrible just terrible, it's a terrible movie, I was expecting a sequel that's not really a sequel not being part of the first one basically ignoring the part with the Shard of the mirror being left behind, not like this, not like a behind the scenes bull crap.
