The Badge, the Bible, and Bigfoot

I love bigfoot movies, but you would be scraping the bottom of the barrel to want to sit through this film.

The opening music and score is absolutely woeful, The actors lacked any form of expression and quite frankly don't know how to even act. It honestly sounds like they were reading their lines straight from a script.

It appears that the film's producers have no idea what a storyboard.is and how to use one because there was very little to no thought given to scene composition.

Most scenes look like they were shot with a camcorder or mobile phone sitting on a table, There are scenes where the camera operator often cuts the actor's heads off or they are very poorly framed for the scene.

I turned the movie off after 5 minutes because it was so disappointing to watch. I rated this film with one star, but that was one too many in my opinion. This film is definitely a huge flop.

It's obvious this was made with a non-existent budget; I get that. But the "actors" have ZERO training or ability. It's almost like they were bored high school kids being forced to make a movie for a project in class. Who ever filmed this, again, no training or talent. I could have done a better job with the just one camera. Yikes. This doesn't even belong on YouTube. This appears to be nothing more than shoving their faith in your face, using the concept of a movie. The concept/story is washed up and old. It would be nice to see a fresh take on the whole bigfoot subject. Done right, it could make for a scary, well worked movie. I have yet to see a bigfoot movie that is even slightly worth watching.

This is basically one family's self-made vehicle to proselytize, self aggrandise and self promote. Don't be fooled by the mention of Bigfoot in the title. It's purely a ruse to attract attention. It actually consists of a huge amount of Bible thumping and a few rednecks and a guy in a bad monkey suit running around in front of a static camera. The hero is the husband of the writer who is also in it and trust me, neither of them could act their way out of a paper bag. Endless mentions of how pretty she is (she wrote it!) and his (long over) military service. Just embarrassingly dreadful. I urge you not to waste any time on it.

I would normally give a low-budget movie such as this the benefit of a doubt, but sadly I cannot. This movie could've worked, I believe, as a comedy/parody. Instead, the filmmakers repeatedly seem to demand that we take this movie seriously, even putting a dramatic "Parental discretion advised" warning at the beginning of it. If we obey them and do so, however, we are all in for a rough hour.

There are, like, two shots and a couple music tracks that are decent. The rest, however, is exceptionally bad.

The editing seems to have been done hastily, with dozens - and I mean dozens - of jump cuts. The acting rarely seems real, and the "action sequences" near the end are so badly choreographed it's hilarious. But the worst part is the script. Its plot moves very slowly (which says a lot given that it's 66 minutes long), and basically all of the characters' decisions are illogical and dumb. The moral of the movie - don't worry or watch violent/monster movies - is good, but comes into the story awkwardly and seems...kinda ironic given the filmmakers just a year later made a movie called, "The Exorcism in Amarillo." Just saying.

In conclusion, I feel that the filmmakers had their hearts in the right place. They just didn't seem to know how to express themselves on screen right. I would advise them to next time study the basics of storytelling, and to give the scenes more thought during pre-production.

Is this a joke? I've seen more professional grade 5 video projects. Was it shot on an iphone? I'm guessing the 'actors' had never had any previous experience. Just trying to make up my required 150 mandatory characters now, but this film was utterly awful. Utterly utterly utterly (have I made the count yet?) utterly utterly awful.
