Graveyard Shift: THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK - 4K RESTORATION

Movies

What’s Happening?

Before THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, there was THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK. Shot guerilla-style in the wilds of Arkansas by the late Charles Pierce (THE TOWN THAT DREADED SUNDOWN), this midnight mood-setter proves that imagination and mystery are all your senses need to achieve total creepizoid overload. Pierce's fly-on-the-wall camera follows the actual residents of Fouke, Arkansas as they share stories of run-ins with The Fouke Monster, a three-toed beastie who looks like what would happen if Marvel Comics's Man-Thing had a baby with a gorilla suit. As the creature's attacks escalate, the movie shifts from cinéma vérité expose to proto-slasher shit-kicker, delivering a combination of documentary and exploitation that makes our neck hairs stand on end. And our hearts fill with joy, as we experience a snapshot of influential horror filmmaking that will never exist again. At one point, the narrator says, "I was seven years old when I first heard the creature's scream. It scared me then. And it scares me now." If only we could all be so lucky. (Joseph A. Ziemba)
