One of the all-time classics, this movie was one of the first in a long line of low-budget 70's creature features based on the legendary ‘Bigfoot’ monster. Produced and directed by Charles B. Pierce, who oddly enough is credited as the writer of Sudden Impact, the fourth installment in Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry series, this film takes us on a journey to the swamps of Fouke, Arkansas, a little town near the Texas and Louisiana border.

The Legend of Boggy Creek is a unique film, utilizing a narrative documentary approach mixing reenactments with actual eyewitness accounts. The film contains enough ambitious narration to rank it up with Ed Wood’s Plan Nine From Outer Space in the cheesy sentimentality department. The monster’s wandering unto human civilization is seemingly attributed to the fact that he is lonely in his own world. Our director, Charles B. Pierce appears to be a one-man crusader for ending sasquatch loneliness; this is evidenced by the sappy narrative as well as the hilarious ballads on the films soundtrack... "Perhaps he dimly wonders why?... Is there no other such as I?... To touch, to love, before I die... Listen to my lonely cry..." Move over Britney, because those are some deeply touching lyrics if you ask me.

In all, this is a classic B-movie romp which is sure to provide good viewing material suitable for the entire family. Despite its childish and foolish nature, the film does provide a few scenes which will genuinely raise a few hairs and provide terror-ific excitement. Highly recommended for those of you who are tired of the typical Hollywood man versus nature tripe being produced today; you know, the kind with the overdone special effects and the intended terror which you would never feel if it weren’t for the music soundtrack warning you that the monster is going to attack...

Warning! Repeated viewing could cause an epidemic of Southern dialect!!!
