Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues

In the untouched primordial swamplands of rural Arkansas lurks a giant creature, 8 feet tall and covered with hair. It's either Slash, Rob Zombie or Bigfoot. No one is sure, for those who have seen it are not believed or have not lived to tell the tale. That doesn't stop smarmy Professor Lockhart from taking a couple of his prize students and a whiny girl with a bad perm down into the swamps to look for the monster.

This movie reeks like an outhouse in high summer...and, in fact, features an outhouse scene that we could all do without. The hillbilly's look frighteningly like the real thing and are a lot scarier than the Boggy Creek Creature. Cindy Butler whines and screams her way through the entire film, making you wish that Boggy would rip her head off. Charles Pierce as Lockhart is so annoyingly smug and condescending you'll be wishing he'd run afoul of the Deliverance cast. Serene Hedin as Tanya must have been wondering what the hell happened, going from the beautiful film "Windwalker" to this dung heap. Poorly acted, badly lit and simply boring. Stick with the MST3K version of this film.

Hilarious and poor sequel to The Legend of Boggy Creek. What was the director thinking about this one when the original was so much better?? Bottom of the barrel effects and acting makes this a real hoot. If you hate someone you could show this film to them. The mother and child bigfoot costumes look like they were rented from some mangy costume shop on the corner. If you love bad movies and commenting on them while watching them, then this is one you'll like. I was lucky enough to catch this at my drive-in around 1985. Still more entertaining than Sasquatch: The Untold!

A truly appalling attempt to cash in on the accidental success of "The Legend of Boggy Creek." Charles B. Pierce caught a lucky break and notoriety from the original but this movie just proves how lucky it was... Right bad movie at the right time.

The 'hero' of this movie is a creepy-as-hell, sexist pig of man with about as much charisma (and acting talent) as piece of wet toilet paper.

The girls are the typical 'pretty little dumb things' that look good in tight shorts and are expected to be sub-servient to our hero.

The plot, if that is what it is, is ridiculous... the scripting is puerile, the acting is at least on par with your typical D grade creature feature (bad but watchable).

Worth watching if you're into cult movie sequels and particularly worth watching if you love watching third rate unknown actors make fools of themselves...

There's a thin line between movies and documentaries. Boggy Creek straddles that line and steps deep in outhouse fecal matter. Where do we start? Yes, incessant flashbacks which don't really add much to getting us anywhere in the story. Besides, these witnesses forget to add in: "Maybe it was the gallon of moonshine I was chugging...". Boggy looks like an outcast from Ape City . Oh, but I wish there was more Boggy cause we get unending scenes of Professor Know-it-All, his son, oops, I mean Tim the Topless assistant, and two gals who whine about lost cosmetics. Boggy Creek 2 gives you that first hand experience of stepping into the edge of a mucky swamp, feeling your leg sliding into mud while trying to pull yourself out to no avail and rodents, lemurs, and vicious canids chew on your flesh for an afternoon snack.

An extra star goes to Ol' Man Crenshaw. You know, 3 miles down, first cabin on the right? Crenshaw makes a quick cameo, but man, it's so needed. In overalls and everything, Crenshaw is the epitome of Boggy Creek as his pyromaniacal tendencies kick in anyone's "fight or flight" instincts. Either that or his emanating stench. So, watch this for laughs a la MST style and remember: it's coma-inducing!

If this was a turkey, we wouldn't even have it for Thanksgiving. It was bad, real bad. In fact, bad doesn't even come close. Now, don't get me wrong, we ADORE bad horror movies. Cheesy effects, bad sound, no acting at all, cameramen who seemed to be drunk at the time. But THIS movie doesn't even have the charm of a bad movie. If I had to film this I would HAVE to be drunk, or dead (maybe both).

Sad to say I spotted this in a bargain bid (I was robbed) and having never heard of it I gave it a try. BAD MOVE. My recommendation? AVOID. If anybody ever tells you they actually liked it, never talk to them again.
