Bigfoot Exorcist

This film isn't just bad-it's a cautionary tale for anyone considering stepping onto a set without a shred of quality control. Unlike an indie film, which might struggle due to a lack of funding but still manage to deliver a decent story or respectable acting, this production fails on every conceivable level. It's amateur in the purest sense, a project so devoid of effort and skill that everyone involved-writer, director, actors-should hang their heads in shame.

When you're starting out in acting, it's understandable to take on roles you're not proud of. Everyone has to pay their dues. But projects like this don't just stall careers; they can obliterate them. I genuinely don't know how the actors managed to deliver these laughable lines with a straight face. And that Bigfoot costume? My God. One glance at its laughably generic design, complete with visible pants in some scenes, should have been enough to make the cast and crew flee the set and rethink their life choices. It screams low effort so loudly that you can hear the mediocrity before the dialogue even starts.

There's not a single redeeming quality in this entire film. None. Zero. Nada. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've seen YouTube videos made by teenagers with no budget and a smartphone that are ten times better in every way. The writing, direction, acting, effects-all of it-is leagues below even the lowest expectations. Watching this is an exercise in endurance, and finishing it feels less like entertainment and more like punishment.

If this movie does anything, it serves as a lesson: sometimes, you really should just say no.

After a string of disappearances, a nun finds that the cause is the returning creature she battled several years earlier that has now possessed a new victim turning him into a monstrous Bigfoot-like creature under the control of a Satanic cult and must battle the beast to stop its rampage.

This was a fairly fun indie creature feature. One of the better features here is the series of generally silly storylines that come into play due to the randomized approach this takes with the storyline. The main experience of the cult trying to carry out their Satanic ritual driving the monstrous Bigfoot creature to run wild in the woods attacking all who come across them serves this well enough as a solid enough throughline featuring the scenes chasing down intruders or other wanders looking into their actions. Getting to see that gets brought out by the secondary storyline involving the mission of the nuns to combat supernatural evil in the world that gets them dragged into the situation when it's revealed they have a connection to the creature after encountering it years ago in a failed exorcism comes off nicely, and with the random strangers getting a reason to be out in the woods allowing them to come across the rampaging creature it makes for a solid enough setup. It provides enough for some silly and outright cheesy confrontations that come about from the creature attacks throughout here. Starting off nicely with the immediate ambush on the different sets of hikers running through the area, including a lengthy stalking scene involving the victim having to escape from a group of locals before running into the creatures' path who had been stalking her the entire time is a fun way to start. Other scenes including the ambush on the girlfriend in the woods, the stalking of the tourist who comes along to help the surviving girl avenge her girlfriend's death from earlier, and the appearance at the adulterous camper's house make use of the cheesy costume and low-budget indie gore in the graphic kills to get quite exciting. Leading into the fine finale where the race to stop the creature which includes the cult getting involved, an appropriately silly exorcism sequence, and a gruesome twist that fits with the story, there are some fun spots throughout this one. There isn't much to dislike here but it does have a few minor drawbacks. Those mostly revolve around the apparent and obvious low-budget setup featured here which has all the genre's hallmarks on display without much deviation or trickery. From the flimsy production value, low-budget shooting style, and on-location setups that give off the identity of guerilla filmmaking, it constantly feels quite upfront about this from the very start and extends to pretty much everything else here including the immobile Bigfoot costume that features a non-closing mouth, puppet-like hands, and an appearance more inline with an alien creature than the hairy humanoid normally associated with the beast. As well, with a randomized plot structure making for a disjointed storyline to get all the random characters involved, it constantly puts its origins on screen which tends to be the main issue here.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and Nudity.

The movie is obviously a statement against the norms and established way of how movies are supposed to be. Simply breathtaking, great acting and wonderful scenery!

Bigfoot Exorcist" is a tour de force in contemporary cinema, deftly combining the enigmatic lore of Bigfoot with the chilling elements of an exorcism thriller. This film, without a doubt, sets a new benchmark in the horror genre and serves as a powerful critique against the conventional methods of filmmaking that dominate Hollywood today.

From the outset, "Bigfoot Exorcist" captures the audience's imagination with its bold and innovative premise. The film seamlessly blends the mythical and the supernatural, offering a narrative that is both unique and deeply engaging. It challenges the established norms of storytelling by bringing together two seemingly disparate elements - the legendary Bigfoot and the timeless horror of demonic possession - and melding them into a cohesive and compelling story.

The direction by a visionary filmmaker (name of director), showcases an extraordinary ability to push boundaries and defy expectations. Every scene is meticulously crafted, with a keen eye for detail that elevates the film above standard horror fare. The atmospheric cinematography envelops the viewer in a world that is at once familiar and terrifyingly unknown, using the dense forests and eerie landscapes as perfect backdrops for the unfolding terror.

One of the most astounding aspects of "Bigfoot Exorcist" is its character development. Unlike many horror films that rely on superficial characterizations, this movie delves deep into the psyche of its protagonists. The characters are richly drawn, with backstories that add depth and resonance to their on-screen personas. The lead actors deliver performances that are nothing short of phenomenal. Their portrayals are nuanced and powerful, imbuing the film with an emotional core that is rare in horror cinema.

The narrative pacing is another standout feature. The film builds tension masterfully, with a slow-burn approach that heightens the suspense and keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The careful balance between moments of quiet dread and explosive horror ensures that the viewer is constantly engaged, with the story unfolding in unexpected and thrilling ways.

Moreover, "Bigfoot Exorcist" is a technical marvel. The practical effects used to bring Bigfoot to life are incredibly realistic, adding to the film's sense of authenticity and fear. The exorcism scenes are equally impressive, with special effects that are both terrifying and visually stunning. The sound design is impeccable, using a haunting score and eerie sound effects to enhance the overall atmosphere of dread and unease.

But beyond its technical and narrative achievements, "Bigfoot Exorcist" stands out as a critique of the conventional filmmaking approach that has become all too prevalent in the industry. It eschews the formulaic and predictable in favor of the bold and innovative, proving that originality and creativity can yield extraordinary results. The film challenges the notion that successful movies must adhere to a tried-and-true formula, instead offering a fresh perspective that is both daring and profoundly impactful.

In an era where sequels, reboots, and franchises often dominate the box office, "Bigfoot Exorcist" is a breath of fresh air. It demonstrates that there is still room for original storytelling in mainstream cinema and that audiences are hungry for something new and exciting. The film's success is a testament to the power of visionary filmmaking and the importance of taking risks in the pursuit of artistic excellence.

"Bigfoot Exorcist" is more than just a horror film; it is a cultural phenomenon that challenges the status quo and redefines what a movie can be. It is a shining example of how innovation and creativity can revolutionize an entire genre and leave a lasting impact on the industry. This film is a must-see for anyone who appreciates the art of cinema and seeks a truly transformative movie-going experience. It is, without question, the best current temporary critique against the established way to make movies, and it will undoubtedly inspire a new generation of filmmakers to push the boundaries of their craft.

The New Movie from "Shark Exorcist" and "Hooker With a Hacksaw" Director Donald Farmer

They were trying to raise $10,000 on indiegogo but only got $1,985,

To their credit, they got the movie made.

But the low budget hurt them a lot. The CGI is below Halloween standards; The monster suit looks like it was literally picked from the rack at a costume shop. Fake as fake can be.

Filming is amateurish. They do not own a tripod as you will see. A tripod costs money.,

The plot is weak and with the awful visuals you will quickly not care.

They use busty actresses as much as they can. There is an opening scene where the lady is being chased by bigfoot and her jacket is open showing a red bra. Then tense music plays and the camera focuses on her chest as she heaves in time to the tempo of the music.

I do not know who this was made for or why....

The 2021 Indie Horror film "Bigfoot Exorcist" has finally been released on DVD in July of 2024. Donald Farmer (Shark Exorcist) and Newt Wallen wrote this one.

Claude and Rose rent a nice little cabin in "Bigfoot" country. There's a satanic cult doing rituals in the woods, as well as some mysterious deaths in the area. A nun (Dixie Gers), is out to stop the mysterious "Bigfoot". Apparently "Bigfoot" poses people. If you kill "Bigfoot", but say he bites you. You'll be possessed by him, becoming the next "Bigfoot".

If you go into this with your expectations in the right place this is a fairly enjoyable film. There's a solid cast that includes; Ford Winstar (Shark Exorcist 2), Roni Jonah (Slaughter House Slumber Party), Rebecca Rinehart (The Embalmers), Kasper Meltedhair, Adam Freeman (Reunion From Hell), Steve McGill, and the incredibly talented Jessa Flux (Murdercise).

All in all "Bigfoot Exorcist" is a lot of fun. I was able to stream it, but I imagine that I will order a DVD copy for my collection. If you're looking for a good, fun Indie Horror film check it out.
