The documentary style and use of real people is what makes this film so unique, it seems quite believable to the viewer that the eyewitnesses saw what they saw, and the two songs in the film about Travis Crabtree and the monster are unexpected but welcome surprises in this film. <br /><br />Could a major Hollywood production with a budget of millions make a better version? The answer is no, Hollywood would only end up turning out another turkey worthy of a Razzie award. It took a skilled amateur filmmaker with an eye for detail and a respect for his audience that turned Boggy Creek into a gem of a movie. Its a flawed gem but a gem all the same.<br /><br />Thanks for the review of one of my favorite low budget (but not low quality) films.JMR777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03538238702295526065noreply@blogger.com
