BOG is one of those movies that cannot be described in words. Well, that is, if the words "atrocious" and "stomach-churning" and "mind-boggling" aren't in your vocabulary. The kissing scene, Jenson's ode to "the dummies," the gratuitous laboratory scenes and Adrianna's monologue dealing with the tribulations of the Namin/Wadna/Crat creature are all featured players when it comes to the hilarity of this stinker. I'm afraid, though, that the monster (or man in monster suit) takes the cake, ahem, rice-cake that is. Don't get me wrong, this film is great. It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I love it!

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.

Some of the filming was also done in Lake Tomahawk Wisconsin.. specifically the old airport control tower which was used in exterior shots as the police station. There is also an aerial shot of downtown Minoqua (nearby Lake Tomahawk) in the opening sequence.This is currently enjoying something of a grassroots revival in Lake Tomahawk (July 2008) Legend has it that the cast and crew spent a significant amount of time imbibing at the local bars...Which might explain some of the acting. and Yes I can confirm that this is truly one of the worst movies ever made but totally brilliant because of it. With regards to the editing. It is so bad that I had originally thought it was the vintage vcr that it was playing on that was causing the tape to freeze but soon realized that it must be an "artsy" editing job.Reading the other comment about the editing I now realize that it is even worse than I had imagined which only adds to the aura of shoddiness and thus to it's unintentional brilliance
