Bigfoot: The Conspiracy

Oh man, this is a rough one. If you're wondering about the positive reviews here you'd be right to suspect they're authored by friends and family of cast and crew. There's no other explanation. 10 of 10? Get real!

One of the first signs that this might be a struggle was seeing that the director, Chris Simoes, was also the writer, and that he gave himself a plum acting role too. Jack of all trades, master of none. His acting chops were non-existent but they aren't even the worst here. That dishonor goes to Dave R. Watkins, who is as stiff and wooden as they come.

The writing is strictly amateur hour and the direction is no better. This is a tough slog.

Also worth a mention is the music. For whatever reason they insist on shoehorning in some extremely schlocky garage punk band's "greatest hits." I'll give them this - it fits right in with the quality of the production.

I'm not sure if these reviewers are shills or just unaware of how bad this movie really is. The writing is so bad that I almost thought they were writing this as a spoof. The acting is So bad that it makes my Jr. High role as The Scarecrow look like an academy award nominee.

I have never watched a movie with so many bad actors in one flick. Maybe they were all selected so they could practice their skills. Despite this I still watch since I enjoy horror movies.

Chris Simoes creates a great mood with this Flick. I've watched several thousand "Bigfoot" low budget movies and this is one I actually watched through till the end. The director is successful at keeping your interest ( I'm a Bigfoot enthusiast so I watch this kinda stuff all the time). The Creature is not too ' in your face' but you get the idea from short shots here and there that he ain't something to mess with. The photography is spot on and makes me want to go to explore Georgia and it's untamed beauty. I love the final ending shot and the line spoken by Dante's wife. Thanks Chris Simoes for making a watchable BF Flick. Cheers !! 👍

A word consistently comes to mind when I watch this movie: restraint. Don't get me wrong-- I really enjoy the story, I think the acting and editing are great. But I have seen enough monster flicks in which the filmmaker just can't resist overselling and gratuitously showing their creature, which usually turns out to be embarrassing and distracting. Chris is a meticulous and thoughtful filmmaker who used the creature as a setpiece for a story that goes far beyond a simple humans vs monster saga. I LOVE the message about respecting nature, and humans remembering their place in it. I thought Dante was a believable, humble character, and it was refreshing to have a leading man with a heavy past, who wasn't the trendy miserable anti-hero. And-- when you DO see the monster-- he's pretty rad. 😊 Highly recommend.
