The Boogeyman (1980)

Starring: Suzanne Love
Director: Ulli Lommel

Premise:
The spirit of their mother's abusive, murder boyfriend is captured in a mirror and years later seeks revenge on the the two, now grown up children.

My Take:
I went into this movie expecting complete garbage and walked away pleasantly surprised. Sure, not everything adds nor is there much character depth, but I have to give out credit for style and originality. The use of the mirror is a clever plot device.

Rating: In the middle
