Roughly forty per cent of this film is flashback to The Boogey Man, which was itself not good.
Ulli Lommel's solution to making a sequel with no money was to hold a dinner party at which a character recounts the first film at length, illustrated by clips, and then have the remaining mirror shard kill the guests.
Lommel had worked with Fassbinder, which is the detail everybody reaches for when trying to explain how he ended up here.
It is barely a film in the sense of having been assembled rather than made, and it is on the DPP list, which is the only reason it is on this site.
