Wow! That's all I can say about the new Boogeymen DVD, roughly 50 something minutes of footage culled from various horror movies of the past, despite the "Over 3 hours of Entertainment" proudly displayed on the box.
Of course, 2 hrs. of this is comprised of a brain dead trivia game, which, when played on a DVD player not attached to your computer, is as much fun as a trip to Corbin Bersen's "Dentist".
A movie that had the potential to be an excellent documetary, along with the requisite footage, instead becomes a tacky, hour-long display of movie trailer material with a little gore thrown in to keep the viewer from slipping into a coma before the DVD runs out.
I found myself fast forwarding through a large number of the scenes, including the one with Warwick Davis on a pogo stick. I consider Leprechaun to be up there in pantheon of horror movie villians right alongside bad guys from the Scooby Doo cartoon series (which is infinitely more watchable). Of course, to keep it "hip", I get treated to a scene from a film that I avoided like Medieval peasants avoided the Black Plague, the Mrs. Gordon's fisherman from "I Know What you Did Last Summer."
If I could rate this com-pile-ation any lower than a 1, I would do so without hesitation, but will grant it a 1 on the basis that it will make a nice beer coaster while I'm kicking back to watch one of my Argento flicks.
