Any of you remember the 80s horror flick "The Boogens"?About these carniverous turtle like creatures
who get released when a group of dudes open up a deserted mine.It had pretty low production values,but it had some really well done scenes that had alot of suspense.The creatures weren't too bad looking either.

Funny you should mention this movie because IFC (The independent film channel) is doing a throwback to 80s horror flicks deal this entire month of august.and "The Boogens" are one of the films they'll be showing. I thought it was a pretty good 80s creature feature.Mainly because the creatures themselves were wierd and odd in appearance and existence.I mean whoever heard of killer turtle/lizard creatures with sharp teeth?They were vicious little mofos too. #asthanos#

How can anyone forget an 80s cheesefest where near indestructable mutant killer turtles terrorize a small town?I liked this movie just because it was a simple creature feature with great kills and funny looking monsters.Jigsaw they didn't have CGI back then so they had to do some actual creature creating for this film which I can appreciate more than some of horrible looking CGI monsters we have in some horror films nowadays.

I actually watched "The BOOgens" last night on IFC and it was pretty good.I was a bit harsh on it in my first reply.Maybe because it had been awhile since I had seen it. |

The Boogens was a good creature feature.Not as cheesy as some people say it was though.Those killer reptiles were actually pretty creepy when I was younger and used to watch this movie.I think it's because the basement of the house in the movie reminded me of mine.

"The Boogens" was just good old fashioned creature feature fun. Not to be taken seriously or severely disected but rather just enjoyed.

Cheesey yes.Good?No.The monsters looked ridiculous and the film was mostly a bore. They didn't have cgi back then and thankfully so. I think a movie like "The Boogens" would only be a favorite of mine with creature fx work as opposed to the computer generated stuff. I think when you go cgi with any creature flick,it sort of kills the fear the viewer has for the monster. It looks so fake and computer generated that I'm more inclined to laugh at it rather than be the least bit scared. |

Amen 2 that! A cgi beast is not going to be as effective as a creature created using FX and human ingenuity. Because the monster made by hand is going to add realism to the movie and complete it's task of giving the audience a good fright. If the audience can clearly tell the creature was generated by a computer, their level of fright is very low or non-existent. In turn it makes them feel negative towards the movie because they feel their intelligence is being insulted. |

I just bought a cheap copy of 'The Boogens' on dvd. It's one of my favorite creature flicks.
