The Boogens
Not bad little chiller, which perhaps suffers from a cheesy title, about a closed down mine reopened by a new mining company looking for mineral deposits whose blasting gives creatures imprisoned for decades access to tunnels underneath the nearest town. I think what helps matters is a fine cast and good use of point-of-view, although the pace is relaxed, allowing you to get to know the characters before the filmmakers place them in peril. Like others I believe, based on this movie and SILENT SCREAM, that Rebecca Balding should’ve been a star as she’s adorable with a knockout smile and charm to spare..noticing her resume, she has been in a lot of television work, but I imagine she could’ve been a horror starlet for sure. Her character, Trish, will be working at the Denver Post and is currently researching the history of the silver mine, learning that there was one survivor who had a mental breakdown after it was closed through an explosion. The new mining crew find a whole mess of scattered, dispersed bones(..which obviously represent the mining team who were killed by creatures within the mine)which should’ve thrown up a red flag that something sinister happened to those people. Trish made the trip with her best friend Jessica(Anne-Marie Martin; many will know her as Jamie Lee Curtis’ nemesis, the hot bitch who “gets the ax” in PROM NIGHT(1980))to the Colorado town to visit miner Roger(Jeff Harlan). Jessica and Roger are an item; soon Trish finds herself involved intimately with Roger’s pal, Mark(Fred McCarren). One of the creatures released to roam in the silver mine in the tunnels chooses Roger’s basement and soon our cast find themselves in grave danger. John Lormer, the old man who barks up a storm about keeping the mine closed, his warnings defied, will probably be best remembered in FATHER’S DAY, the tale in George A Romero’s CREEPSHOW(“Where’s my cake, Bedelia!”). John Crawford and Med Flory are two other miners who have the misfortune of working in the mine when the monsters are in their midst. Someone else described the creatures as monstrous turtles for which I’d concur..add shark-like teeth and tentacles which extend to grab the ankles of humans trying to get away. THE BOOGENS seems to have a cult following, but I missed it when it made the rounds on HBO and cable back when I was kid circulating VHS rental stores. The creatures aren’t visible until the very end and many might find them laughable, but there’s one great scene where one of them chomps down on a police deputy’s face which delivers the goods. Most of the kills concerns these sharp talons on the ends of their tentacles which rip human flesh on impact.
