If I had to name one thing that we hear over and over again – it would be the often-chanted groans of “Horror isn’t as good as it used to be”. I get it…I think. People have a soft spot for the classics and films that they grew up with. But I would argue that that type of undying nostalgia colors what is “good” and “bad” far too often. As subjective as those words are, I think we’d all be lying if we didn’t admit that our history with a film colors how we feel about it – but I could go on and on about this all day.

For those of you out there that long for how things used to be, I have excellent news for you. No, this isn’t yet another indie release claiming to recapture the spirit of the 80s – this is a film that comes from a man that understands that retro feel you all know and love so much. Why? Because he was actually making horror films during that time – pretty popular ones too.

Ulli Lommel wrote and directed The Boogeyman in 1980 and its sequel Boogeyman II in 1983. After a long stint in various rolls in the horror scene, Lommel is returning to his roots, and he isn’t coming back alone. Boogeyman Reincarnation, the fourth entry in the Boogeyman franchise, is set to return at some point in 2016, and now we have our first look at the film’s NSFW debut trailer (a nipple makes an appearance). The film stars Skylar Radzion, Laurence Harvey (THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2 and 3), Tristan Risk (AMERICAN MARY), Andreea Boyer, and Ulli Lommel himself. Sure.

So here ya go folks: A brand new film from an 80s franchise written and directed by the original filmmaker. I gotta say, the trailer certainly gets the 80s horror vibe right. Which is to say… cheesy AF and nonsensical. Check it out below – we’ll keep you posted on release info as it comes our way.

Tracing the origins of one of the most vindictive supernatural killers, BOOGEYMAN REINCARNATION spans generations, lands and time itself to present a riveting and haunting experience.

A terrible crime echoes through the ages, as the souls of the condemned pay an eternal price for their vicious acts upon the innocent. With classic sensibilities and a contemporary feel, BOOGEYMAN REINCARNATION is the spawning of a new era.
