Boggy Creek: The Legend is True

 (2010)

Boggy Creek: The Legend is True Blu-ray features poor video and terrible audio in this disappointing Blu-ray release

Five college students take a vacation in a remote cabin in the Texarkana swamps, unaware that a mysterious Bigfoot-like creature has been repeatedly sighted in the area.

For more about Boggy Creek: The Legend is True and the Boggy Creek: The Legend is True Blu-ray release, see the Boggy Creek: The Legend is True Blu-ray Review published by on where this Blu-ray release scored 1.5 out of 5.



Boggy Creek: The Legend is True Blu-ray, Video Quality

  2.0 of 5

Both IMDb and a close reading of the credits indicate that Boggy Creek was shot digitally (on the Panasonic Varicam, according to IMDb). More direct evidence appears in the film itself in a phenomenon I have seen in Blu-ray and DVD extras but never before in a feature film: combing artifacts—obvious and distracting ones, mostly in the first half of the film. These are not a result of a 1080i encode; the Blu-ray from Hannover House is a 1080p, AVC-encoded disc. No, these artifacts appear to be part and parcel of the original material, probably a result of some misadjustment of the Varicam's variable shutter rate (which is one its chief selling points). Maybe someone tried to fix the problem in post and failed, or maybe no one noticed. I've included examples in the extra screenshots (nos. 11-14), but they only hint at the extent of the distraction caused by watching parts of the image separate and recombine on your screen while viewing the film. (You may need to expand the images to their full size to see the "scissoring" effect that combing creates.)

Even without this glaring flaw, the image for Boggy Creek demonstrates that digital capture isn't automatically superior. It's clean and noiseless, but detail is inconsistent. Some shots are sharp and focused, while others are soft and fuzzy as if film had been exposed through gauze or a diffusion filter. This does not appear to be a deliberate effect, because there's no apparent pattern to the variations. An occasional shot in direct sunlight appears overexposed, resulting in a texture that is almost granular.

Black levels are adequate, but the production rarely has to show deep blacks, because the script specifies a full moon. The color palette is never richly saturated, even when it comes to red blood; I suspect this was necessary to help "sell" the creature effects. Other than the aforementioned combing, I didn't notice any other artifacts, but then again I was sufficiently distracted by those and the sound issues (see below) that I might have missed them.


Boggy Creek: The Legend is True Blu-ray, Audio Quality

  1.0 of 5

What happened in post-production? While some Blu-ray purists will immediately fixate on the lack of a lossless track, the real issue, as always, is the mix itself. At the maximum bitrate of 640 kbps, the Dolby Digital 5.1 track does a thoroughly capable job of presenting the film's soundtrack, and that's the problem—the track is a botch job. Voices often sound hollow and off-center, as if there were no center channel at all, and the dialogue had been poorly split between the front and left mains. Worse still, the mix sounds like it was never finished. Ambiant noise switches on and off from shot to shot, as it would in a temp edit using production sound; the effect is far too common and haphazard to represent a deliberate choice. It's simply a distraction. Bass levels are too loud and boomy at times when they aren't needed, so that they lack the requisite impact when they are. The movie literally sounds like the production ran out of money part way through post, and someone made the decision to release the film's soundtrack in whatever state it was in.
