      Stefan Birgir Stefans sbs.is It’s not a good film, but mildly entertaining, probably more so with a RiffTrax commentary over it—which I assume is available. Rated: 2/5 Aug 3, 2023 Full Review Cheryl Eddy io9.com Bog doesn’t deprive rubber-suit monster fans of some of the sweetest cheese they’ll ever see... May 17, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member Fun low budget flick. Would make a good double bill with "Alien Dead" or "Terror in the Swamp". Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Bog is one of those wonderfully bad horror films that you just can't help but enjoy. Full review at <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank"href="http://hotdogsinthedark.com/?p=2313">Hot Dogs in the Dark</a> Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Bog is the story of a large aquatic like monster that has long been dormant underneath the bog of a popular fishing lake. After a poacher awakens the monster after using dynamite in the lake, the monster goes around amassing an incredibly large body count of people where it sucks the blood right out of their mouth. It's up to a couple of biologists (including then-big time TV star Gloria DeHaven) along with the late great Aldo Ray (fun, frequent horror genre actor who most recently inspired Quentin Tarantino to name Brad Pitt's character as in Inglorious Bastards) as the town's Sheriff to track this monster down and kill it, but that proves easier said than done since this sucker won't die. Bog is a laughable, horribly bad movie, folks. It's a good thing the Bog monster suit was shown VERY minimally because of how crappy and fake it looks. The biggest upset is the huge body count, where ALL of the kills happen off camera. Aldo Ray is fun to watch but his character seems completely wasted, as do just about everyone else. For an 80's grindhouse monster movie, this one is the pits. Bad editing, bad effects, bad acting, terrible continuity, and the transfer to DVD looks just awful (like they barely rushed it to DVD before the negatives could completely dissolve). At least it had some pretty comical moments (some intentional, but most of them unintentional). Horrible movie! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member this was by far one of the worst movies I've ever seen. it was was so bad that i nearly died laughing because i could not believe that this was a serious film. Please dont waste your time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This one will bog you down. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the absolute worst thing I've seen in my 22 years of living Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
