A Question for those who liked this film....(SPOILER)
Would you enjoy Nightmare on Elm Street 2 if in that film Freddie Kruger ended up being just a mentally disturbed teenager wearing a mask? I seriously doubt it.
That's how fans of the first film feel about this one.
I like slasher films too but the first Boogeyman had an enjoyable supernatural plot line that was totally ignored in the sequel. They made a big mistake in the direction they took this franchise. If there is a third one, they need to get back on track with the original storyline that was popular and enjoyable enough in the first place to even warrant a sequel.
