The Boogens (1982)
The Boogens suffers from a very bad title. I mean really, do you think you're going to be scared by watching a movie with that title? Sounds like cheese. It's not that bad however. It wasn't irritating, had OK acting, 80s effects, and a story to kill a little bit of time with.
The story follows some miners sent to reopen a mine that was closed a long time ago, when a whole bunch of miners died in a cave-in. At least, that was the story of how they died. In reopening the mine however, the new miners set lose the monsters that lurk in the tunnels below the entire town. They come up from the mine -- but also the basements of people's homes and drag them away for food. It takes a while for our main characters to figure out what's going on -- and not early enough, as we get to see a few of them serve as munchies before the smarts start to kick in. Nothing is sacred -- even the little dog gets taken care of.
If you need something to pass a Friday night, this one will fit the bill.
