Wretched, excremental ABSM(Abominable Snowman)piffle from Charles B. Pierce, the man who brought us the original "Legend of Boggy Creek". At least the original, though cheap and choppy, had a great pseudo-documentary feel to it, sort of like "Blair Witch". This shameful sequel has "straight-to-video" written all over it. Pierce himself plays the lead, an anthropology professor from Arkansas, who shows up in the swamps around Texarkana with a heroin-thin geek(Pierce's son), 2 brainless bimbos, and lots of gadgets. For a little while there, Pierce had some slight success with a string of minor drive-in hits, including "Legend of Boggy Creek", "The Town that Dreaded Sundown", and "Sacred Ground". In fact, the rest of the actors are all veterans of Pierce's udder flicks, but none of them were quite as bad this before! And the monsters...incredibly stupid-looking suits evoke moore sighs than laughs because they are far moore pathetic than funny. One of the reasons the original film worked is because you don't see the creature very well or very long. Unfortunate long shots of the hairy guys show just how crude, fake, and stupid they really are. Many mooments of hilarity in this one - one of the MooCow's favorite shows our favorite hairy manbeast acting like Bruce the Shark from "Jaws", as he kills a stock footage deer, and then forces fake blood out of it's obviously fake mouth. And the mad dog scene is just too stupid for this cow to put into words. The MooCow's favorite line, from dumb bimbo #2: "I don't like it here; what if that's a madgoat??". Stilted, poorly shot flashbacks only serve to add moore pain to the viewer. It moost be said that Jimmy Clem's obnoxiously fat, hairy redneck swamp hick is the best part of the moovie, which is a real shame because he is simply vile. And the Big Hairy Guy? Well, when not out ripping the heads off critters in the river, he's usually throttling the bejesus out of some local hayseed, or forcing them to step into outhouse doo-doo(which, metaphorically, is what Pierce is making us do here...). For those who care, this Big Hairy Guy is nothing like the elusive, enigmatic shadow in "Legend of Boggy Creek", and that's a shame. The baby bigfoot here is nothing moore than a obvious, gag-inducing plot device. The MooCow can think of a thousand moore interesting/funny flicks to waste yer time on that this feeble folly, but if you simply MUST watch such rank failure, at least do yerself the favor of checking out the MST3K version. Udderwise, the horrible stench of this brainless, boggy breakdown won't come off yer carpets for weeks. :=8P
