Bigfoot Captured

Bigfoot Captured (2015)

* 1/2 (out of 4)

It's hard to believe that The History Channel would show something like this. I know a lot of people bash the station for not doing more "history" items but I've enjoyed their various specials over the years but this thing here is without question quite a head-scratcher. In fact, BIGFOOT CAPUTRED would have been better on something like SyFy.

The film tries to do two things at once. On one hand we've got Bigfoot experts trying to claim that he is real and we see them going out and interviewing a few people who have encountered the creature. The second portion of this film is a scripted drama about a group of people who go into the woods and capture Bigfoot.

Right at the start of the film we're told that portions of the film are fake. History Channel sold this movie as, like the title says, evidence that Bigfoot is captured but this here is the scripted segments. Why on Earth would you even do this? I'm sure there are some dumb people across social media who might have thought this was true but that speaks more about them than the actual film in question. None of the stuff is entertaining and as far as a "movie" aspect goes, it's downright stupid that they're trying to pass it off as something real. If you want to see something better go watch WILLOW CREEK.

I love all things Bigfoot but this documentary was just downright bad. Even the documentary footage is rather boring and doesn't cover any new ground. There are a couple times where we "encounter" Bigfoot but these scenes are just poorly directed and certainly never creepy or scary. I'm really not sure what anyone was trying to do with this film but sadly it's a disaster and just doesn't work.
