Review: Boggy Creek (2010)

For Horror Bob’s Blog
This time we got yet another Boggy Creek film. What is this the fourth???
Following the death of her father in a terrible accident,
sweet, yet troubled Jennifer and her friends decide to check out her dad's
cabin that's located in the deep woods of Boggy Creek, Texas. While staying at
said cabin for a week, Jennifer and company run afoul of an evil and vicious
monster of local legend that kills men and abducts women.
None of the Boggy Creek films can be said to be pieces of
art, but the original is a cult classic that actually started the Big Foot documentary craze that is still going to present day.
Which is why this 2010 film pisses the hell out of me. This is the second Boggy
Creek film that has been based on pure fiction just to make money. Return to
Boggy Creek from 1977 was fictitious account using the legend of the Faulk
monster as the basis. It even had the actress who played Mary Ann in Giligan’s
Island in it. The one after that film, Boggy Creek (2000) was more like the original in that it was based on
actual incidents with the Boggy Creek monster and even had Big Foot expert Nick
Redfern doing the narration. Of course now we come to this 2010 shit fest. I
figure the director wasn’t sure what type of film he wanted to do because this
shit show screams slasher film tropes and completely disrespects the community
of Faulk and their resident creature. Hey paint the towns people as ignorant
rednecks that glare and newcomers psycholically. And then there is the monster
and his legend. No time in Faulk history has the creature ripped a human into
pieces, but in this movie it seems like a daily thing. Also nowhere in any of
the accounts does it say the creature is horny for female humans. AS well, the
monster costume looks nothing like the Faulk monster.
Oh, and the soundtrack of this film is annoying as shit. I
don’t usually complain about such things.
The fucking thing ruined the atmosphere. Also, the characters are all
stereotypes with no real character development at all.
Oh, and the final nail in this film’s casket was that fucked
up ending. Give me a fucking break…!
I think the Faulk monster should get a good lawyer and sue
these assholes.
Sorry, but I will recommend the original Legend of Boggy
Creek and Boggy Creek (2000). Put the DVD for this film in the microwave and
turn it on. Then break it into pieces and toss it in the garbage…
