by Phil Wheat

Uli Lommel’s Boogeyman, released in 1980, should have slipped under the radar of many a horror fan and it would have – had it not become entangled with the Video Nasties scare here in the UK in the early 80s. It was that “promotion” which gave Lommel’s film more notoriety than it undoubtedly should. So […]
