Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
tavives I first discovered this movie back in college in 1985. A bunch of friends and I were into bad movies. Well, BOG buries all the others. Yes, I know that Plan 9 from Outer Space is generally considered to be the worst, but believe me folks, BOG is worse. Here is why. Ed Wood didn't know any better. He really thought he was making good movies. He was using absolutely no- name actors (with the possible exception of Bela Lugosi) and was simply oblivious to how awful his films were. The folks that made BOG should have known better! My God, this movie is awful. There is no indication that the film makers are trying to make a comedy here, and nearly every frame of the film begs the question of why someone along the way didn't say "Wait a minute folks...we really don't want to continue with this."The acting is abysmal, the editing is ridiculous. An earlier reviewer mention the "shoddy use of freeze frame." No, this is just bad editing where the editor freezes the scene in preparation for the next edit. The problem here is that the splicing of the scenes was so poorly done that there is a longer than necessary pause before the next edit. Bad, just bad. BOG also includes the absolute worst double-take in the history of film. When the Dr. (Marshall Thompson) is informed about the creature, he does an absurdly exaggerated head- rotating, eye-blinking double-take, that doesn't even rise to the believability of a Looney Tunes short.Now having said all that, I can't encourage viewers enough to check out BOG. It has brought me hours of enjoyment and laughs, and of you are a bad film buff like me, BOG is a definite MUST-SEE!
Woodyanders The unfairly neglected cheap-rubber-monster-suit-on-the-loose flick, a rather abundant and often entertainingly abysmal 70's nickel'n'dime horror film sub-genre, hits one of its all-time most delightfully dreadful lows with this simply pathetic entry featuring a once-in-a-lifetime Hall of Shame has-been faded name star cast who should have called it quits a good ten years ago.A green-skinned bloodsucking slime creature (Jeff Schwaab in an extremely hokey and unconvincing shabby rubber suit) prays upon the various dim-witted hayseed locals in some lousy bayou burg located in Wisconsin. Out to stop the vile beast are geriatric Dr. Brad Wednesday (a long in the tooth Marshall Thompson), equally aged pathologist/gratuitous love interest Ginny Glenn (the similarly over the hill Gloria De Haven, who also plays a creepy, withered, fright-wigged old hag witch complete with creaky, rasping voice who looks after the monster), and paunchy, ineffectual redneck Sheriff Neal Rydholm (the inescapable Aldo Ray, delivering a typically woozy, glassy-eyed, two pints under "I hope my paltry $300 dollar check I'm making for acting in this turkey clears so I can score more booze" performance). Why, even yet another far past his prime fuddy dud thesp Leo Gordon pops up in the last few reels as your basic googly-moogly swamp monster expert from the big city.Man, does this stinker reek worse than dirty unwashed socks: we've got excruciatingly slow pacing, severely chintzy'n'ratty production values, clumsy use of freeze frames, a foul, grainy, washed-out look, some uproariously awful dialogue ("From the way these women are acting we aren't going to see any action in years!"), inept, zingless direction by Don Kesslar, no energy to speak of, a thuddingly dull emphasis on boring chitchat, uniformly flat and uninteresting characters, tedious acting from a noticeably out of it cast, annoying constant references to fishing for muskie, and an unforgettably horrid country and western theme song called "Walk With Me" that's tunelessly warbled by the tone deaf Pat Hopkins. All of these toxically terrible ingredients do their proverbial best/worst to make this brain-numbing abomination an oddly enjoyable, but undeniably wretched clunker of a shoddy fright feature. Nicest cruddy touch: the way the camera pans away at the last minute and zooms in on a gripping close-up of a nearby bush whenever the monster attacks someone, therefor entreating the frustrated and dissatisfied viewer to the victim's shrill, piercing off-screen cries of bloodcurdling terror as the beast allegedly rips 'em to shreds.
alucifer WOW where do i begin to describe this complete waste of time.i bought this on VHS for a dollar at a flea market and after watching it i realize that it is also the cost of the budget.the creature is so stupid and funny looking it could easily be on sesame street.but the puppets on sesame street are made way better.this is obviously a ripoff of humanoids from the deep about creatures from the sea that mate with females.humanoids from the deep is a classic and this pile of crap is a headache.the acting in this is worse than bruce campbells acting if you can believe that.no matter what you do do not watch this movie you will regret it.
hatred "Bog" is a complex movie of many parts, what some would call a mystery wrapped in a riddle, enveloped in an enigma, drenched in hatred. However, despite the immediate allure of this modern retelling of the classic tale, the dip thirsty bog creature soon chaffes beyond all previously recorded levels. The scene where the creature emerges from his filthy lair and proceeds to hurl wildly outrageous claims at the townsfolk is one thing - however, when the dip cups begin to pile up and the horrifying creature pulls out the guitar, it is almost too much to watch. The viewer is left to ponder the wild fabrications of this primordial monster and cannot help but feel the pain in this fratted-out lair of terrible run-on stories and hair blowdriers. The viewer can only be left as a battered, broken shell of their previous self, completely devoid of all value and fully revirginified. Fantastic performances by Liam and the Firecracker.
