Boggy Creek shot...

It's been said that this flick will have an Apocalypse Now meets King Kong 76 vibe based on what's been shown so far in the first preview. I posit that the really quick shot of Kong's legs and hands as the choppers are coming towards him suggests an eerie semblance of some Legend of Boggy Creek one-sheets and images from that movie. A Boggy Creek/Bigfoot-ish Kong? I'm with that :)

Never saw Boggy Creek but the Cinema Snob episode featuring that was perhaps the funniest one Brad Jones did in years.

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

That movie scared the **** outta me as a 9 year old kid.

Yea the shots they showed of the woods and scenery seemed creepy af. Then again it IS Arkansas.

For a low-budget corn-pone movie, it is genuinely spooky af at times. Of course, when I first saw it as a 9 year old kid, I was in full-on fascination/frightened of Bigfoot mode so it was triply scary.

I would say that its one of the better Bigfoot movies out there and I can see what you mean by "Boggy Creek" shot.

I hope it's better than The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Same director. Didn't care for it.

It plays more like a re-enactment documentary than a dramatic film, like Town That Dreaded Sundown. I agree, I didnt like TTDS much either. The knife taped to the trombone scene freaked me out when I was a kid though.

Yeah there are a couple posters for Boggy Creek in which the creature looks just otherworldly-scary. Then again, I was so scared of Bigfoot at the time that I thought it even lived in the Philippines, where we were stationed at in 74-75.
