Late Nite Grindhouse Presents ‘THE BOOGEY MAN’ at Marcus Des Peres 14 Cine on October 6 & 7
Late Nite Grindhouse continues forward into the spookiest month of the year with the 1980 film THE BOOGEY MAN, directed by Ulli Lommel. Probably the most infamous film of Lommel’s filmography due to it landing on the Video Nasty list in the UK and being banned for British audiences for 20 years, THE BOOGEY MAN starts off stylistically as a cash-in/ripoff of John Carpenter’s HALLOWEEN before taking on a possession storyline that feels like a lost AMITYVILLE sequel, with a dash of THE EXORCIST thrown in there.
This is a fun one to watch around the season and we’re happy to be presenting it on the big screen!
SYNOPSIS
If you love to see haunted mirrors eviscerate priests, this is your movie. A collaboration between director Lommel and writer-star Suzanna Love, THE BOOGEY MAN is a classic haunted house story coated in the awkward pizzazz of a low-budget slasher. The story follows Lacey (Love), a woman who finds herself at a crossroads as she deals with past trauma, family drama, and a very haunted house. With telekinetic gore-slayings and surprisingly perverted twists, the movie plays out like AMITYVILLE HORROR meets HALLOWEEN as directed by Lucio Fulci’s third cousin. Add the finest bedroom synthesizer soundtrack of all time (courtesy “Synthe-Sound-Trax”) and you’re guaranteed 80 minutes of gentle slasher angst.
