Return to Boggy Creek (1977)

Very Cool!!!

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It actually could be considered as a subtle form of self-mutilation to all three of the "Boggy Creek" films in a row. The pace of these films is so incredibly slow that even a snail would fall asleep to it. Part two drops the documentary/narrative style of the original and tries to look more like a regular film. This approach generates a slightly better feeling of involvement, especially since the characters are good old- fashioned walking, talking hillbillies. Rest has more or less returned to the community of Fouke in Arkansas, until a tourist family spots a big hairy thing near the bridge of Boggy Creek. The grandchildren of one of the villagers are the first ones to encounter the monster up close and personal, when they go off venturing in their boat. For you see, "Return to Boggy Creek" is actually a children's movie, and a very VERY lame one, I may add. So the three kids are the main characters. They make a pact not to tell anyone what they've seen and decide to capture the monster themselves. Their quest takes quite some time, especially since the three little idiots are caught in a storm and the entire village gets worried about their disappearance. At this point I immediately thought: I hope this doesn't turn out the type of lame Walt Disney flick where the monster eventually saves the lives of the children and brings them back to their families. That would be really ridiculous. Well, I'm not going to reveal the ending, but rest assured it's a family film from start to finish. Don't expect any casualties or half eaten cadavers. There's hardly any suspense, but copious amounts pointless padding footage to compensate. Oh, and banjo music. Lots and lots of banjo music

i totally disagree.i thought that this was a great movie for kids.dawn wells from gilligans island,and promise shown of a barely then known dana plato.it was disneylike and for that it can hardly be disregarded as meaningless fluff.no it wasn't scary and wasn't meant to be.i wont ruin the ending.but it was unusual the way that it was done.i mean the kids characters were great and i didn't know what to expect in the end.the basic plot also had a lot more to do with these kids than you say the fact that these kids were expert fishermen is very central to the plot especially initially.it also helps them out of a jam towards the end.it also has the plus of not being overly long.i think it clocks in at under 95 minutes

I went into this one with low expectations so I wasn't disappointed. It's just a lame little Bigfoot movie for kids. Dawn Wells tries, but I think she emoted better on Gilligan's Island. I still love her, though. The kids are funny to watch, just because they're so unbelievable. Dana Plato (she plays Evvie Jo) ended up on her own TV series later on, and her acting was probably the best. Bruno's was probably the worst. We always crack up when he tells the kids he'll beat them at fishing. Best of all, it has a song. They sing it twice. For some reason, a lot of Bigfoot movies had songs. I don't know why that was. It's a decent song. It's not the best song in the world, but it fits the mood of this movie perfectly. Watch it when you're in a silly mood, or watch it with the kids and see what they think.

i saw this movie when i was 13 and i really liked dana plato who later starred in different strokes as kimberly drummond . i don't think it's garbage .it was not meant to be a sequel to the documentary either . its just a cute kids movie about 3 children who go after men trying to find the boggy creek monster . the men get hurt and the kids rescue them with the help of the creature .haunting shots of the arkansas swamp and scenery were neat . this is a good movie for kids ,no real violence a few mild scares but good fun for the young kids.
