So how did the other families become subjected to Mr Boogie?
I don't get this movie. How did the kids become possessed by Bughuul? The movie says that children could become possessed by Bughuul by seeing images of him. But when do any of the children ever see an image of him? The only images of him are in the super 8 films. Also, if you say that the super 8 films are the source of the images, then why didn't any of the victims report the films to the police? We would have to assume that they each found the films in the same way that Ellison did and watched them. And his first instinct was to call the police, the only reason he hung up was to write his book. Any normal family would call the police and deliver the films to them as evidence.
