Boogeyman 2
2008 film by Jeff Betancourt
Boogeyman 2 is a 2007 American psychological slasher film edited and directed by Jeff Betancourt and the sequel to the 2005 film Boogeyman. The film was written by Brian Sieve and stars Danielle Savre, Matt Cohen, David Gallagher, Mae Whitman, Renee O'Connor, and Tobin Bell. Savre portrays Laura Porter, a woman who witnessed her parents' murder alongside her brother as a child. She believes the killer to be the Boogeyman, and now as an adult seeks group therapy to overcome her phobia of the creature. Her fears then become reality as her fellow patients are murdered one by one.
Due to the original film's success, Boogeyman 2 was greenlit and announced in October 2006. Production began that same month with the hiring of Betancourt as director and Sieve attached as writer. Casting began that December with the hiring of O'Connor; Savre got the lead role in January 2007. Filming took place in Los Angeles at the former Linda Vista Community Hospital, over a four-month period, beginning in January 2007 and concluding in April. Unlike the original film, which featured the Boogeyman as a supernatural being, Betancourt strove to present a more grounded and realistic version of the mythical creature.
