Format:DVD
Something has troubled the tiny town of Fouke, Arkansas since the 1940s right up to present day--and residents claim it is a tall, hairy creature with hands like a man and glowing red eyes. And after a series of somewhat spectacular sightings in the early 1970s, director Charles B. Pierce decided to make a movie about it.
I saw LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK in original theatrical release when I was twelve or so, and it scared the blazes out of me. When I found this inexpensive DVD version, I grabbed it for the sake of nostalgia--and discovered that what scared me at twelve can barely elicit a raised eyebrow nowadays. It may still frighten the kiddies, but from an adult point of view, LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK is pretty tame and lame.
Although the film has a few effective moments, they seem to have happened by accident instead of design. The cinematography is a weak effort at a documentary style, and the costume for the Fouke monster is hardly more than a long-haired suit, but now and then they do combine to give you pause--especially in shots when the creature is largely motionless and obscured by trees. But on the whole, the movie consists of a mix of interviews, scripted actors, and the occasional pause for some hilariously bad "ballad of boggy creek"-type country music.
The transfer quality is flatly awful. Made on the cheap, the look of the film was probably never great to begin with, but after some thirty years in the vault it is now in a truly sorry state. Colors are bleached, the picture is riddled with blips and scratches, and the soundtrack is occasionally crackly. My final take on the whole thing: if this has some nostalgic appeal, by all means buy it, but don't expect too much. And if you've don't have those childhood memories to fall back on, pass it by, because that's really all this DVD has going for it.

Format:VHS Tape
This is a very good horror/documentary about a monster living in Texarkana U.S.A and the real people who experienced the moments do re-enactments on the screen of when and where they found him. This film does not show any innapropriate content but at times it is very intense and scary. This horror film is wonderful fun especially in the dark with friends or a bunch of friends.This is one of those films that should appeal highly well and you could watch it with your kids as long as they don't scare easy. If you don't have kid's it is still fun. Get your self soooooooooooo scared you can't sleep and enjoy.

Format:DVD
A documentary style film about a mysterious creature that lives out in the swamps, that now and again comes into contact with people. I remember watching this as a child and it scared the hell out of me back then. The story is of a man who returns to his childhood home to film a documentary on the creature, so comes across as pretty realistic, add to it that most of the actors play themselves and it adds to the authentic feel of the film. But beware of the dreadful and dire 2nd film.
