This adventure chronicles the compassion of the huge, enigmatic ape-like creature said to inhabit Boggy Creek. Unlike the other series entries, which claim to be fact-based, this film is total fiction. The tale is set in a tiny fishing village near the title tributary. A hurricane is coming and the town prepares for it. Meanwhile a rumor circulates that a photographer has captured the mysterious creature, believed to be a mankiller, on film. This is surprising because the townsfolk believed that the creature disappeared many years before. The story rouses the curiosity of a few kids who follow the photographer back into the dark swamp. Unfortunately, they get trapped by the storm. Fortunately, the "killer" appears and helps them survive and return to safety. |

The film carries over none of the original's docudrama elements. It was followed by three additional sequels, Boggy Creek II: And the Legend Continues (1985), Boggy Creek: The Legend Is True (2010) and The Legacy of Boggy Creek (2011), the latter two were released straight-to-video. |

Unlike many cryptozoological mysteries that were known only to the locals of a certain area or covered briefly in regional newspapers, the Fouke Monster gained worldwide fame due to this series of feature films. The first The Legend of Boggy Creek initially brought fame to the Fouke Monster when it was released in 1972. The subsequent movies served to further the legend of this Southern Sasquatch creature. |

This film is more of a heartwarming Disney-esque tale in which the children are the main characters, rather than a straight-up horror film. |

The kids are expert fishermen and those skills keep them alive in the swamp. |
