Would it have been better if Mr. Boogie was a real person?


Like a serial killer abducting children and brainwashing them into killing their families rather than some supernatural being that jumps in and out of videos/pictures.

That would have been way more terrifying.

Imagine a twisted father/ son team stalking and staking out innocent families to slaughter.

Yeah it's more twisted that way. It's what made the kill films disturbing for me in the first place. They still are, but at first, when I thought it was a real person behind this I was horrified.

I totally agree. If I'd written the story I'd made it an MK Ultra plot. 

Well, I couldn't write scripts; movie was good enough for me. Still, no supernatural monster would have contributed to the real horror.

Kill List comes to my mind right now.

Kill List was great.

Oh wow, it's great! :) Eg. coz the evil was done by real people.

reply

YES! The dumb supernatural ending ruined what was shaping up to be a classic horror movie, imho.

Agree with this, was actually hoping it was a person when I first saw it

But it would be less believable... I mean, a kid doing that thing with the lawnmower?
