Bog (1978). There's a creature in the bog. It attacks people. Nobody knows what to do so they talk at great length. There is a bit of making out. People sometimes scream or point. A witch is consulted. Things are examined with a microscope. You eventually see a cryptoid.

Some people like Bog, in a so-bad-it's-good kind of way. I don't know if that's justified: I think the movie may have been edited with an axe and stuck together with sellotape. The scenery is nice though, and the haircuts are all period. I did like the station wagon.

You can watch it on YouTube if you are so inclined...

@d4doome Let It Bee became the soundtrack of 1988 for me. I always had a particular affinity for the sadness of Sorrow Floats, but I find it impossible to choose a favourite track as the whole album is great.
