Fantastic!

Don't Believe the Hype

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This movie was filmed in Wisconsin in 1978 and took five years to be released; haven't figured why. Just kidding. Pretty cheesy, but really not too bad to watch...when you want to give your brain a break. An unlucky old backwoods fisherman goes fishing in Bog Lake using dynamite. Two unfortunate couples try a little fishing; but the wives end up as dead as the old feller that woke up some mutant from decades of sleep. More become 'booger' food and doctors Marshall Thompson and Gloria DeHaven are almost as baffled as the sheriff Aldo Ray. Some local actors get their chance to be in a movie...on the screen and not just in the audience. Jeff Schwaab is credited as the Bog Monster. Grainy and full of shadows, but still a hoot.

I wouldn't recommend this movie for anyone, just avoid it. May this never be resurrected in an anthropological excavation-- another reason why it's a shame that it takes a thousand years for plastic and resin based garbage to decompose.This movie is like listening to a drunken, ignorant, old man. At first it's rather funny because he can't make any sense, and the things he's saying are outlandish. However, within thirty-minuets, he circles in his logic and it gets rather tiresome. To top it off, he talks increasingly slower. Then, he contemplates his existence and can't make sense of it, he has a brain aneurysm and abruptly dies; sadly you don't care because he was a wife-beating, drunk.When all is said and done, this movie is boring and irritating. You can see the same ending in one of the closing scenes in an older, much much more hilarious movie, "The Creeping Terror". Matter afact, see "The Creeping Terror" instead (that is if you find z-grade trash amusing)!

I'm a devotee of bad films ("Manos, the Hands of Fate" is one of my favorites; no, seriously, I really like it!), but "Bog" was just a bit too dumb, even for me. Oh, I don't deny that it had it's moments. But in between those moments was a lot of dead space. I was surprised by the "love scene" between the film's two leads. I think this is, without question, the oldest love scene I've ever witnessed! Now, it's not graphic by any stretch of the imagination, but how often do you see a 50-year-old woman making out with a 60-year-old man? Heck, how often do you see a 50-year-old woman who is supposed to be our eye-candy? I've got to give the movie props for striking a blow for the geriatric community!

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.
