I read a lot of mixed reviews for this movie before seeing it, with people saying it was fun and such and after seeing it I'd like to know what the hell movie they were watching, because this movie is far from being fun. It was incredibly boring and barely anything happened until towards the end, which really pissed me off.

Simple plot - some minors go into an old abandoned mine to put in some dynamite and close it off. They unknowingly set free some small creatures called "the boogens" that run loose through tunnels under a small town. This movie has way too many plot-holes to remember and it leaves many unanswered questions like what the hell are the "boogens" exactly and why the hell they are even called the "boogens".

Piece-o-crap is the best way to describe this 70's flick. The film had the right idea, but horrible delivery. The movie pretty much lost me from the beginning, with its 5-minute sequence where our lead family is driving in a car, with absolutely no dialogue and the worst elevator music possibly imaginably playing in the background.

Then we witness a strange and confusing tank death that seems to come out of nowhere and essentially offer no real point other than a less-than-average death sequence. As I said before, the idea behind the movie sounded promising -- a vacationing family gets stranded near a small town where all the children seem to be under the influence of a dark power, leading all the adults to react frantically to outsiders and the law.

I liked the whole idea about a town's children going all evil and murderous, but the pacing and confusing and long sequences really ruined the experience for me. There are some scenes that seem to just drag on and on. Like this pointless dream sequence that seemed to have no significance other than to confuse the audience. Then towards the end we get another strange and mind-boggling climax that makes you just scratch your head and shrug your shoulders, before you realize that you just wasted an hour-and-a-half of your life.
