Unverified

The thing which kills Unverified before it can even really get going is not the lack of budget, or even the quality of the actors, but the pacing.

The film, which we will be generous enough to refer it to as, opens with a long spell of a realtor driving to a house. But wait! There is a gate in the driveway. We see her get out of her car, open the gate. Get back in her car and drive through the gate. Get out of her car again close the gate. Drive on. This is not how cinematic narrative is supposed to be (unless Someone was being paid by the minute to produce this, in which case, fine lol).

And this is pretty typical of the pacing of the whole film. It's not so much amateurish, because amateur can infer some level of enthusiasm, as just not really watchable.

I very rarely rate anything below 3 but I must put this in that category as a warning to anybody against making the mistake of watching it for an evening of entertainment.

I had a lot of fun watching it with a group of friends. The film sparked some good conversations about how far some people will go to prove the existence of unverified animals. The movie builds in intensity throughout, and I couldn't tell what was going to happen until the very end. I also appreciated the realistic attitude towards the unverified creature, more scientific than slapdash. No cliché shock tactics, which seem to be common in monster movies. It was refreshing to not have to look at far fetched overdone CGI images. The movie had a more rugged and real feel to it and I loved the scenery.

My husband and I just finished watching Unverified. I'm not easy to please but this movie was surprisingly good. You have to have a brain a bit bigger than that of a gnat (unlike the first reviewer) to appreciate how the story unfolded. It's not like watching paint dry. At first I was REALLY skeptical as to whether we'd turn it off in the first 5 minutes but we were both glad we watched it all the way through. I didn't recognize any of the actors but they were all really good and really believable. All in all, we both enjoyed the movie. I also told my husband that I was so happy that it kept me interested rather than looking at the clock wondering when it would be over. Go in with an open mind. If you have a short attention span, find something else to watch. Know your shortcomings and move on, otherwise just sit back and enjoy the movie.

This is not your typical Bigfoot film and that's what I really liked about it! No actors in fake looking costumes, just good suspense and a few surprises that kept me interested the entire time. Great scenery, really good actors, and a suspenseful story that made me really think about the possibility that creatures like this exists. I loved that it had a sense of humor too - especially liked the scenes with Jason and Jeff. They're funny together and make a great team. Like I said, I never considered myself much of a Bigfoot fanatic, but this little indie film sure made me think about it. Definitely recommend.

I only watched this because there were a bunch of 9 and 10 star reviews here so I figured this movie was as good as the Godfather but then I watched it or attempted to and I was amazed at how boring it was.

This is a bigfoot movie but it's not a monster movie at all, but man, it's so poorly written and directed it's like watching paint dry. You have to ask yourself how does something liek this get made. Yes, it's very low or no-budget "movie" but how do things like this get out to Amazon or whatever to be seen?

I guess anyone can make a "movie" now.

Upon further inspection all the "reviews' here are done by "people" with one review. This movie. I wonder who all those "people" are?

Don't fall for it folks. Take it from someone who did not work on this amateur-fest. Boring as hell.
