Rating: Summary: AMAZINGLY HORRIFIC!!! Review: Wow, this is the most amazing DVD I have bought to this date. Not only was I stunned by seeing all of my favorite boogeymen, but they also included one's that I had never heard of but was morethan happy to have seen and been introduced to. The bonus materials were absolutely terrific. Hearing Robert Englund's voice still makes me quiver as I think of him as Freddy. This is a must have for any horror fan or movie fan alike. I just can't wait to see what these people come out with next, I'm sure I will be the first to order it!!
Rating: Summary: Morbid Mortuary Review Review: What can be said about the upcoming dvd entitled "Boogeymen?" I'm real happy to see something like this come out, the horror genre needed something like this.Some of the scariest scenes in horror history, what a great collector's item for horror freaks everywhere. It has some of the most well known/terrifying horror icons ever to grace the screen. Packed on to a bloody dvd, with so many extra's it scares me. I for one am really excited about October, 2nd. The official release date of "Boogeymen." The only question is fright fans, can you handle the horror? I know i can, just be sure to turn off all the light's, lock the door and don't look under the bed!!!
Rating: Summary: Off the Hook Review: THis DVD was so good. I enjoy all the scary scenes. It was a wonderful creation of how they (producers) pulled from the best horror clicks ever made. The best part is mid-way of the movie. I don't want to give it away, but you MUST SEE if for yourself. Definitely ***** stars. I recommend this movie to all of the viewers, get it for you DVD library, call up the crew and get SCARED!!!!!!!!! It's TOO DIE FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: E's Opinion Review: I THOUGHT BOOGEYMEN WAS A REALLY GOOD GENRE FOR THE ULTIMATE HORROR FANATICS. I LIKED THE SCENES, AND MOST OF THOSE SCENES WERE FROM MOVIES I REALLY SEEN AND ENJOYED IN THE PAST. EVENTHOUGH I'AM NOT A DIE HARD HORROR FAN I THINK BOOGEYMEN IS A GREAT COMPILATION FOR THOSE NEUTRAL WATCHERS. I REALLY THINK BOOGEY WILL BE USED FOR MANY HOLLOWEEN PARTY'S, OR FOR THOSE FRIENDLY GET-TOGETHERS. SOME SCENES IN THIS COMPILATION I'VE NEVER SCENE BEFORE AND WERE PROBABLY THE FEATURES I DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT. OVERALL, I LIKED IT AND WOULDN'T MIND WATCHING IT AGAIN.
Rating: Summary: a must for all horror fans Review: this is a must have dvd for all horror fans. this dvd contains clips that made these horror icons. this dvd also contains a name that sceen game which randomly shows sceens from differnt movies you have to guess which movie. also there is a trivia section for the extreme horror buff. there is also a brief history on each character.this dvd is the awsome compulation of the greatest horror movies of the 80's and 90's
Rating: Summary: The Ultimate Experience for Horror Fans Review: If you're a horror fan you HAVE to own this. Imagine taking the most frightening scenes from your favorite horror movies and having them all together - Jason, Freddy, Michael Myers, Leatherface, Pinhead, Chucky etc. - in one DVD.Boogeymen has 18 scenes in all and they really did pick the best ones. In addition to the classics like Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm Street , there were some really freaky scenes from movies I have never heard of. It also has some pretty cool extras like pop-up trivia for each scene, audio commentary by Robert Englund, interactive horror trivia games, and a very cool "Legends of the Boogeymen" which is basically histories of the characters themselves.Boogeymen is also a great way to introduce someone to horror; it's like horror 101. And it's a total Halloween party DVD. It's fun to re-live some of these famous scenes and to discover some new movies you've never heard of. I definitely recommend this.
Rating: Summary: A Terrific DVD To Rent. A Not-So-Good-DVD To Buy. Review: I must say, I enjoyed this "Boogeymen" disk. It was a lot of fun watching as a different killer popped up on the screen. The first one is Pinhead (from Clive Barker's Hellraiser) and the last one is Michael Myers (from Halloween). Some of the killers are very cool, well known horror icons that are actually my very favorite (such as Leatherface, from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare On Elm Street), but others are really stupid and boring- try hard "Boogeymen" (The Guardian, Leprecaun, Candyman). It's still really great fun watching theses clips. If you get bored, or have seen one clip to many times, simply skip to the next clip. However, there weren't nearly as many features as I thought there would be. There's a cool commentary by Mr. Robert Englund (if you're a true horror fan, then you know who he is!), where he comments about certain movies, and why he likes them. Occasinily he's very funny, and I felt reasured when he said Freddy vs. Jason WILL happen! Other extras include a few theatrical trailers (NO theatrical trailer for Jason Goes To Hell The Final Friday, however! I makes me mad!). Also are "Flixmix Recommends" where you can watch trailers for The Mummy Returns, American pie 2, and Jurrasic Park 3. BY THE WAY..... THERE'S A HIDDEN SCENE FOR "JACK FROST 2". Here's how you get to it. At the top of the Flixmix Recommends menu, there's a little thing that says 'Upcoming Flixmix Titles". Highlight this (so that it's green) and press the right arrow on your remote. Then, it'll say "Jack Frost 2". You may have noticed in the movie itself, on the end credits it has cast for "Jack Frost 2". If you were wondering why that's there, it's because the scene's hidden. I hope that helped. Other extras include a "Legends Of The Boogeymen", which features breif descriptions of their histories. You can also watch the movie with "Flixfacts" on. Flixfacts pop up every scene or so and say things like "It took 500 gallons of fake blood to make Nightmare On Elm Street". Nothing to exciting. For DVD Rom, you get a trivia game, and some cool sound effects. But, it really nothing so exciting that it's something you must buy. I don't think so. There are not THAT many features. The movie IS only 58 minutes. After you've watched all the scenes and all the trailers, it's kind of silly. You'll say "Why did I buy that?" It's a TERRIFIC movie to rent or for a party. But, why but it? If you found my review helpful, please vote for me. Thank you! If you enjoyed Boogeymen The Killer Compilation, I'd recommend Halloween The Extended Edition, Terror In The Aisles, and Friday The 13th.
Rating: Summary: alright Review: this movie was alright, i wacted it twice. the quiz on the dvd is pretty good. they might make a squel with some thats on here and ones such as pumkinhead, the headless hourseman etc. if you like horror rent it, buy it. but if you don't then don't wast your time.
Rating: Summary: What I expected...maybe a bit better... Review: I first heard of this film accidentally thru Amazon; I hit a button and there were all these reviews & commentaries. When I saw it in a store at a good price, I bought it, sight unseen.I LOVE trashy horror flicks, though not really a slasher fan. I was pleasantly surprised, though it was largely what I expected. The DVD has lots of extras, and I'm terribly impressed. The unknown (to America) film THE UGLY looked most interesting, and was impressed to know that the lead actor won awards for the portrayal. Jason & Michael Myers are only slashing madmen; F. Kruger had sophistication; Chucky & Puppetmaster involved possessed inanimate objects...etc. Somewhat out of place was Norman Bates, Tony Perkins' brilliant and complex performance in the only truly Grade A film of the bunch. What's really great is that scenes were shown as an example, without giving away too much, but getting to the nitty-gritty of the genre. (I never saw "The Dentist", nor do I want to...) At 58 minutes, this is a film you will want in your collection, especially when guests are over and beer is flowing. It never gives you a chance to get tired of any ONE element/idea, and you will never get bored. It moves at a good clip. I noticed that this is "Vol. 1"...the horror genre is so massive that countless volumes in this series could be developed successfully, considering Sci-Fi, Dracula, Mummy, Frankenstein, Haunted Houses, etc. Everything about this compilation film hits the right notes. Let's have more, but let's also keep it diverse and interesting. More of the same (slasher) would be perhaps a bit redundant. I'm glad for the inclusion of "Phantasm", one of the true originals!
Rating: Summary: Not bad, but only something for horror fan's Review: First off I will say that this DVD is only for Horror movie fans. It is not a documentry, what it is a 50 minute long main presentation of the best horror movie icons. and it shows a quick intro of that charactor, then an actual scene of one of the films they where in, and then moves onto the next... there's ALMOST all the fav's of the horror genre....
- Jason Voorhees (Friday The 13th)
- Freddy Krueger (Nightmare on Elm St)
- Michael Myers (Halloween)
- Chucky (Childs Play)
- Blade (Puppet Master)
- Leprochaun (Leprachaun)
- Leather Face (Texas Chainsaw Masacre)
- Fisherman (I know what you did last summer)
- Ghost (Scream)
- Candyman (Candy man)
- Norman Bates (Phycho)
- Simon Cartright (The Ugly)
- Pin Head (Hellraiser)
more...
But they have forgotten about a few that I thought should have been included...
- Skeleton Zombie (Return Of The Living Dead 1 + 2)
- Ghoulies (Ghoulies)
- Carrie White (Carrie)
- Evil Dead (Evil Dead Trilogy Villians ect..)
- Critters (Critters)
- Wicked Witch (Wizard Of Oz)
- Crypt Keeper (Tales from the crypt)
- Michael Jackson (Moonwalker)
The extra features are an Audio Commentary by Robert England (Freddy Krueger) which isnt something you'll listen to again I dont think, and you get an on screen trivia option which disaplys bits of information about the movie as it's playing the clip, i'd recomend you turn the trivia on and listen to the commentary at the same time to kill 2 birds with one stone.
There is a trivia game that is not worth looking at, you press start and it shows a picture and you just have to select what movie it's from, but there is no point, you can anser as many as ya want, it doesnt lead you to anything!
There is a biography of each of the people from the feature presnatation.
and Trailers to a couple of the movies on the feature, but not all of them.
There's also a link for anyone with a DVD on there computer, and your usual subtitles, 5.1 surround ect....
Overall: like I said, if you like horror movies, then you might like this if you care to know a bit of information on the films that you probably already knew, other wise it's not worth much, just seeing scenes from films together on one DVD is ok, but not lastingly thrilling, the scenes they chose couldve been better, they have picked some lame scenes to show in some areas. It would be great to see all of these horror icons meet on the big screen in an ultimate horror icon battle royal, but with all the copyright hassel to do something like that, this is most likely the closet we will get to see all of them together on the one show. I would recomend you rent it before you decide if you want to buy it.
