Boogeyman 2 is a 2007 supernatural horror film edited and directed by Jeff Betancourt and written by Brian Sieve. It stars Danielle Savre, Matt Cohen, Tobin Bell and Renee O'Connor. Savre portrays Laura Porter, a young woman who as a child witnessed the murder of her parents by an unknown asailant inside their house. Believing their killer to have been the Boogeyman, she participates in group therapy to overcome her phobia of the creature. Unfortunately, her fears turn to reality as her fellow patients are murdered one by one, with their fears being used against them. Following the financial success of the previous film, production began in October 2006, with filming taking place at the former hospital, Linda Vista Community Hospital in Los Angeles. After a sold-out screening at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival in October 2007, the film was released direct-to-video in January 2008. Critics found the plot and characters to be unoriginal and boring but praised the death sequences and the presentation of a more realistic approach to the Boogeyman, setting the film apart from contemporary creature features. Despite earning around $4.3 million on a budget of $4.5 million, a sequel was released in October 2008. (Full article...)

Reasons for nomination: I'd like for this article to appear on the main page on October 20, as this marks the ten-year anniversary of the film's screening at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival. The article exists on ten other language Wikipedias and if does appear on the main page, it will be my first FA to have achieved that.

Comment. My only suggestion would be to find a better free-use image of an actor or someone involved in the film. When I first looked at the autograph's image after clicking it I thought "still don't know how this relates to the film" then I saw that it was of an actress who was in the film. As the film is relatively obscure (as is the actress), this is a few-too-many dots to connect. Perhaps find an image of a person in the film? Otherwise, I'd say lose the image and I'd give it a solid support. Andrzejbanas (talk) 12:53, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I guess Savre's signature wasn't really doing anything for the article. Unfortunately a free image of her doesn't exist anywhere from where I've looked. I thought about adding Tobin Bell or Renee O'Connor's image but since both of them have supporting roles in comparison to Savre, it doesn't seem like the right idea. I guess my last option is adding a public domain image of the Boogeyman. Or wait to see what Savre's respone on Twitter is. PanagiotisZois (talk) 17:52, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh shame about other images! Fair enough though. I am very happy to give this my support now. Andrzejbanas (talk) 01:03, 18 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support as the date seems appropriate and I do not see any major issues with the article. I agree with the above concern about the image, and it works better without the image at all. Aoba47 (talk) 15:05, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
