The Squatchers

This movie is exactly what it's meant to be, a fun romp in the woods and other locations, silly characters, and fully entertaining. Well done Mr. Hubbard! Your cast appear to be having fun as well. What's not to love? Maybe the first scene is a little rocky, a bit overlit and a bit of room echo, but it smoothed right out very quickly. The pace of the movie is, in my opinion, very good as well. No drawn out boring expositions. Each characters' character is obvious and the dialogue rings true for these quirky semi-losers with good hearts. I'm def going to watch your other movies. I'm a fan! Pls make more.

I had not heard about this 2025 movie titled "The Squatchers", from writer and director Kalani Hubbard, prior to stumbling upon it. And of course with it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, then I opted to check it out. And I will say that the movie's synopsis sounded interesting.

The storyline started out nicely enough but it sort of flattened out and well into a stall about halfway through. I was waiting and waiting for something to start happening, but the wait was mostly in vain, because up to the halfway point, nothing much actually happened. And that caused my interest in the narrative to start waning at some point after halfway through.

I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, and I will say that the acting performances were fair.

The effects in the movie were okay, but nothing outstanding.

My rating of writer and director Kalani Hubbard's 2025 movie "The Squatchers" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

The Squatchers is a hilarious, heart pumping, heart warming adventure comedy. It's very reminiscent of 80/90s adventure films from story to the visuals and even the original score, which is amazing. The Squatchers is a very fresh and satisfying film about hunting for Bigfoot and rediscovering old friendships. The characters are so unique and have great chemistry. The tone and humor reminds of The Goonies or even some moments in Stranger Things. This is another great film from Pure Magic Pictures and you can even find many easter eggs from other Pure Magic Films. This movie makes you want to get your friends together, grab your flashlights and go camping.

I really enjoy watching this movie! The character dynamic between the group of friends is so fun and relatable. I personally hate camping, so I really feel for the character Fay who also hates camping and got dragged along on this. I'd say Lewis really cracked me up, and Nate was down right hilarious. The moment where they all sing the Squatchers song around the campfire was really beautiful and heartwarming to me. I love how much this movie celebrates friendship, the themes about believing, and the sense of magic and wonder all hit home for me. It's just a group of lovable rascals I could see myself being friends with in real life. There were a couple of moments I found myself being nervous about Bigfoot and the ranger too, all in all, this is a great movie and I highly recommend anyone see it.

The movie is about a group of friends who, as a gift to a friend, agree to go on a camping trip to search for Bigfoot. It's fun, funny and lighthearted but also with moments that hit you in the feels. It's funny and relatable in many scenes (you can easily picture yourself hanging with the crew around the campfire as they sing the Squatcher song). You'll see excitement, good times, comedic emergencies, and what might happen when you meet your heroes. The movie is a celebration of friendship and the passion one can have for chasing their dreams. It's a marshmallow-fueled revisit to the comedic adventure movies we used to enjoy, but have seen released more and more sparingly as years have gone on. I highly recommend checking it out, it's well worth the watch!
