The Boogeyman (released in the United Kingdom as The Bogey Man) is a 1980 American supernatural horror film directed by Ulli Lommel and starring Suzanna Love, John Carradine, and Ron James. The movie's title refers to the long-held superstition of bogeymen beings, and its plot concerns an adult brother and sister who are targeted by the ghost of their mother's deceased boyfriend which has been freed from a imprisoned mirror. The film has received mixed to negative critical reviews, with criticism mainly regarding the heavy similarities from earlier horror films such as Halloween, The Exorcist, and The Amityville Horror. However, the movie became successful enough commercially to make the film-makers eager to release sequels, resulting in the film being followed by Boogeyman II and Return of the Boogeyman.
