The Bogman, Bigfoot Shreds Arkansas

I love today's movie because its a damn good movie.  I love this movie because everyone in it seems to scream, "This is a damn good movie and we loved making it!" This movie isn't one the media and IMDB tell us we need to like.  So here it is..."To Kill a Mockingbird" is garbage! "In The Heat of the Night" is so over-rated and dull!  No...no one told me I have to like 2023's "The Bogman."  I like "The Bogman" because it is legitimately a good movie and fun. Yes, this is the film that has the hit single "There's a Sasquatch in My Shower!"  "Ordinary People" did not have that song in it.  Also, this is the film where the great quote is uttered, "I'm a cryptozoologist. I'm not a priest!"  That quote can't be found in "Titanic."  So let us delve into this Mitch Laing film.  No, not Fritz Lang!

Charlie Williams (Kyle Simpson) is moving his family to Mountain Bend, Arkansas to take over his uncle's farm.  Mountain Bend is a town surviving on tourism.  Any Bigfoot enthusiast comes to that town.  Bigfoot is fake...isn't he?  That's what Charlie and his wife Toshia (Chrissy Gray) tell their kids.  Wrong!  He's real and he's vicious.  After some sightings and then much bloodshed, a cable TV program hosted by Richard Brooks (Laing) hits town.  They bring with them the renowned cryptozoologist, Dr. Martin (Benjamin Gross).  Now the crew asserts themselves into the lives of the Williams' and trudge into the woods to find the enigma.  Already, the Bigfoot (Christian Gross) has shredded some hunters and maimed some ranch hands.  It isn't done.

TV crews and posses will be torn limb from limb. Charlie joins the TV crew and Deputy Thomas (Jeff Jopling) tags along for security.  War will ensue.  The Bigfoot is hardly a mere animal.  It is intelligent and ticked off.  The big smelly thing inflicts a horror on the Town of Mountain Bend unseen since all that carnage in Boggy Creek.  Arkansas will be even more traumatized than they were when Bill Clinton was raping its babes.  Arms will go flying, heads will be pulled off, throats will be shredded, and Bigfoot will assert his dominance on the proverbial food chain. 

Will Charlie and his family survive the monster's wrath?  Is Bigfoot merely begging for understanding and respect in America in the Modern Era?  Is having a human play Bigfoot a gross example of "Cultural Appropriation" by filmmaker Mitch Laing?  Oh, before I forget, this is the film in which the lovely Bree Hill plays Bree. This is a good one...don't miss "The Bogman."
