The Boogey Man Reviews
Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com
Slow and somewhat uneventful, trying to master some type of cinematic creep that doesn't register as intended.
Full Review | Original Score: C | Sep 18, 2023
Alan Jones Starburst
The film is very evidently a low budget quickie but Lommel's direction raises it above the general appalling level of recent offerings with confidence in his material and noteworthy imagination.

Anton Bitel Projected Figures
Ulli Lommel’s supernatural slasher may evoke both The Exorcist‘s possessions and The Amityville Horror‘s architecture, but its psychologically reflexive looking-glass horror is all its own.

Gary Arnold Washington Post
An absurd but proficiently grisly horror cheapie.
