The Bogey Man (1980)
The story starts with a woman flirting with her man, she notices her 2 kids (lacey and willie) staring through the window and one of the kids gets tied up, his younger sister frees him and he kills his mothers lover. 20 years later and they are trying to get on with their lives, unfortunately they receive a letter from their mother wishing to see them before she dies which brings the sins of the past back. unable to cope lacey and her husband return to the house which the incident happens. she sees the man her brother killed in the mirror and smashes it, this unfortunately frees the man and he begins to kill people.
so the opening scene where willie kills his mums lover is great, however the rest of the first half is dull however when the phantom proceeds to murder people it gets good. a couple of creative kills, the couple in the car getting the knife through their mouths is great. despite this it's not a great film, there was no real buildup and you have to sit through a good portion of nothing happening.
5/10 for creative kills and an interesting premise
