Never go dynamite fishing because you never know what will
come to the surface. This is the main
idea behind the creature feature Bog
(1983) in which a local dynamite fisherman awakens a prehistoric amphibious
creature that can survive both in the water and on land. Once the creature is awakened nothing can
stop it as anyone that ventures near its bog becomes fresh meat and if it’s a female
she may become fertile flesh for repopulation.
This throw-back to Creature
From the Black Lagoon doesn’t have the same charm in its subpar ‘80s man in
costume horror. Written by Carl Kitt and
directed by Don Keeslar Bog is one of
those films that you see on late night television that would have you laughing
rather than shuddering away in fright. Its
inept characters and execution leaves much to be desired and hasn’t aged very
well (as most man in costume monster movies have not).
This is a highly forgettable film that has been more or less
forgotten but I happened across a VHS copy of the film and decided to take a
look sense it had a pretty decent poster and artwork. If there is anything that this film will be
remembered for it will be for its artwork which in ‘80s horror films (both good
and bad) was great and something that most genre fans remember the most.
