After hearing so much about The Boogens I finally got to see it, and felt very disappointed. Everyone is always saying how good it is, but for the most part I found it boring. The first half is dedicated to building up characters but it's very tediously done and not really necessary for such a horror film, because at the end we don't care for them anyway. There are a few good scenes though. I like the scene with the dog when he's being chased by the monster. The part where he hides behind the bin is hilarious! But that's not enough to save the film. We don't get to see the "Boogens" themselves very much, and when we do they are in darkness. Normally that wouldn't bother me, if the rest of the film was interesting. Sadly it isn't.
Overall, I don't think The Boogens is anything special, there are much better monster/horror flicks out there such as The Deadly Spawn or Tremors - watch those instead.
