Summary: Get this for "The Boogeyman" (1981)
Review: I must admit that this is a pretty decent Double Feature, considering the fact that both films are low budget goodness! I watched both movies one night, but found myself enjoying "The Boogeyman" the most. While "Devonsville Terror" (1983) is a fairly decent horror movie (Indeed, who can ever forget the scary scenary involving wheels in the beginning?), I found it to be a little too educational and predictable at times with the witch category. However, I found 'Boogeyman' to be a lot more original and the plot more interesting than that of 'Devonsville'. It is probably Ulli Lommel's best (& most INTENSE!) film he's ever created and the acting is superb for a horror flick! Sure, it's a little cheesy at times (Both movies are, but in a GOOD way!) but it's very enjoyable for those of you who are hardcore horror fans (e.g. myself)
Don't get me wrong, I liked 'Devonsville', but it wasn't as good as the first feature on this disk. I only wish that they could've added MORE extras rather than just giving us the T.V. spot for 'Boogeyman'. I don't think they're any commentaries on each film either, which would've also been nice. My last complaint is that the picture quality in 'Devonsville' is fair, but kind of poor even for the DVD transfer it was given. (You'll notice that some of the colors are grainy) I only wish that they could've cleaned it up a little more, but otherwise, it's okay. The 4 stars I give goes to 'Boogeyman', but I give 'Devonsville' 3. Two good movies at a very cheap price!

Summary: Good value for money!
Review: Both of these movies are entertaining enough to hold your interest. The Boogeyman is the scarier film of the two. I would give this film almost 3 stars. The Devonsville Terror is worth about 2.5 stars. Overall, you're getting good value for both flicks.
There are better horror films out there, but if you're bored then these are at least worth a view.

Summary: The Boogeyman: 'Halloween' meets 'Amityville horror'
Review: I enjoyed this now dated cult horror classic. It was quite spooky and clever, with a lot of memorable scenes. In the U.K it is titled The Bogeyman although I can't understand the difference. And why oh why did the BBFC see fit to ban this film?

Summary: A total waste of time
Review: I will put it clearly: it is the worst piece of crap I have ever seen. I really love this kind of flicks, I always defend the worth of horror trash movies, but Boogeyman lacks of gore, imagination, and suspense. Don't waste your time.

Summary: Nrever saw The Boogey man but.....
Review: I've seen the Devonsville Terror, I have it. It is a great show about witches that are killed in that witch hunt thing where they killed everyone convicted of witch craft, and then the witches curse them. Then a new teacher moves to town and the curse comes. It scared me, HORRIFYING! A must have!

Summary: Devonsville terror
Review: Oh boy. Where do I begin with this movie? I first saw it when I was 9. Then I saw it a second time last summer,when I was 19. Certain images of the movie have been stuck on my mind for years, and some of the things that were said in the movie are still stuck on my mind. I still can't look at giant wheels without a certain image in my mind. I can't say what that is. If you haven't seen this movie, I won't spoil it for ya.

Summary: Way Different than the Modern-Popular Horror Genre
Review: Okay where do I even begin reviewing these movies? I had always heard about "dark" horror movies before but had never actually seen any until just yesterday. I knew that these movies were that kind and I wanted to see what they were like. Well they are FAR different from Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, etc., both for different reasons. I guess one reason is that they aren't exactly modernized. These aren't the slasher-type movies that are so popular today. The Boogey Man: I never really even notice how clear the image is or anything, but the first thing I noticed on this side of the disc was how perfect the picture was! The movie started off with a bang and then went downhill a little bit, but stayed interesting throughout. To me it was at times hard to understand what exactly was going on. This is one of those movies that actually makes you think! Even with its sometimes confusing plot, this was a pretty good movie. There is something about it that you can't quite place that is very creepy... The Devonsville Terror: Had one of the best openings in a movie I have ever seen in my life. I agree with those who say they will never be able to get some of those images out of their heads! The idea of witchcraft in early days was a great idea and I wish the whole movie would have been about that. I grew really bored with the movie when it got to the "300 years later" part. Some parts were extremely unrealistic. I expected it to be great because of Donald Pleasence. He did outstanding performances in the Halloween films, but in this movie he couldn't because the character was so vaguely portrayed. Get the DVD for the Boogeyman and the beginning of The Devonsville Terror, but not if you ONLY like Scream-type horror movies.

Summary: Watch it for the slasher badness
Review: This is a lame ripoff of "Halloween" but horror buffs should still enjoy it for the trademark late 70s-early 80s awfulness in the horror genre.
