movie left for dead.
The Boogens (1981) Mostly mundane in its first hour, the Boogens (which is rare on VHS and never put to DVD) suffers from several pot holes. Oh my bad, i mean PLOT holes. The "monsters" keep a low profile during that hour, only showing their tentacle grabbing people. When the mutants are finally shown full body (i think), it's still a mystery as to the what, why, where and how. The "how" being this: how could they have survived in a mine tunnel cave for 80 years. And how about this for a why: Why do they kill one guy in the garage and then bring him down to the cave where he is found floating in the water, while they kill some girl and leave her in the basement. Just left there. Didn't even bother to eat her. The two lead girls look straight out of most any other early campy 80s horror film, and in fact one of them was in the original Prom Night. At least the Boogens didn't get REMADE yet! [rating: *1/2] -Kenyon
