Unverified

As far as Bigfoot movies go this one is a couple of notches above the usual found-footage, rip-up the campers rubbish starring a baggy gorilla suit.

That said... it's not great either. The acting is fair but the plot/storyline is very thin, especially when it comes to the legal/law enforcement side of things.

Don't expect to see the creature either. This movie tries to explore the 'protect the cryptid from the rednecks' line without attempting to degrade the movie by showing the creature using a sad, baggy gorilla suit. By not showing the creature they have actually done a better job of it.

Sadly the plot itself has more holes in it that sasquatch hide full of buckshot holes but aside from that it is watchable and a refreshing change from the killer Bigfoot gorefest genre.

If you like Bigfoot movies then this one is worth a try.

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.

There are not a lot of movies that I seriously dislike but I'm not going to lie, I seriously dislike this one.

It was a massive pain to get through this. I like to think in my 30 years on this earth I've seen a lot of movies and seen a lot of bad (and good) movies so I am a good judge of films and sometimes even I swing and miss.

I just saw a couple reviews raving about this and I did not read all the reviews. And no one knows better than I not to go by "reviews" in IMDB when it comes to deciding if you should see a movie.

A guy wants to prove there is a bigfoot. He doesn't want to hurt Bigfoot but other people do. And that's the story.

Yikes.

And you know what's a good judge of if a movie is bad or not? Check out the photos on IMDB for the movie. This one is the perfect example. A guy looking around. A lady in her car looking through the mirror. Some people at dinner. A bunch of nothing. That's what you want to represent your movie? Why not show a wall or perhaps a sidewalk or a book? I mean, I'm no expert on making movies or promoting movies but you'd think you'd want photos that people are going to look at and go "I need to see this."

I am not smart. That should have been the sign that this was tedious to get through.

So yes, I did not like this movie. Not an interesting story or well made. And you know what I miss from something like this? A Bigfoot. At least give me that.

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.

"Unverified" is as much about Sasquatch enthusiasts as it is about the big guy himself. And yes, as another reviewer put it, it doesn't feel like your "typical" Bigfoot film.

Whether you're a believer or not, the unfolding human intrigue makes for a suspenseful and surprisingly entertaining watch. And even if you're unfamiliar with the concepts of "squatching," you'll get a crash course through the characters' interactions until you're watching a kaleidoscope of perspectives, needs, grudges, passions, impulses - and the final collision of all of the above. All centered around a creature whose existence is Unverified.

The actors were great, spot-on... I didn't recognize most of them, but they all felt like authentic people to me. Does Sasquatch make an appearance? That's to be left for the viewer.

One part spooky, one part humorous, all entertainment, this film will appeal to anyone with a taste for unsolved mysteries and an appreciation for overlapping human perspectives. A truly fun watch!
