    Pretty good

    As far as found footage bigfoot movies go, it is a crowded field with few contenders worthy of ever being made. The best of the bunch is Eduardo Sanchez' Exists. With this as a close second. The bottom of this ugly barrel is absolutely Bobcat Goldthwaite's horrendous Willow Creek, which is on my list of the 10 worst movies ever made by an actual household name director. Embedded succeeds partly because of the concept of a news crew going along on a hunt for a homicidal grizzly that turns into something far worse. It also succeeds due to no CGI, all practical effects. It's a reminder that things can be scarier by looking real, not generated. Recommended.

    Quite A Gem

    I went into this movie with no prior knowledge of it, the story or actors. I was pleasantly surprised at how great the story was and even the camera work. I'm a big found footage horror fan and this one did not disappoint. The creature effects were actually quite good, not really any CGI, just good old fashioned actors in costume. If you're a fan of found footage definitely check this one out.

    From Lost Child to Monster Encounter We're Live from Hatt's Creek

    I found this movie while searching up for more werewolves films to watch, but came across with a completely different monster that I had no interest with changed after seeing the movie for the first couple of minutes all the way to the end. I have to say, I don't regret watching this movie at all from the superb acting and the gore the movie provided staying true to realistic depictions of Sasquatch than a CGI mess other horror movies had in the past.

    Starting off into the lives of a camera man and a reporter chasing the next story to rebuild their reputation they come across a small town with little expectations that soon changed after an accident occurred leading to angry townsfolk seeking vengeance and hopes for saving a fellow member of their small community lost out in the woods.

    It was supposed to be something normal everyone thought, a search for a lost child, dealing with a well-known predatory animal like a bear in the woods, but everything changed when the bodies started to pile up on their search. Something else is in those woods and are they still prepared to face what is in them?

    Overall, the movie had a lot of suspenseful moments, witnessing the terror of each seasoned hunter and the panic from the news crew made every part of the movie much more to savor, the fear, the terror and gore featured in the film made it more perfect to witness.

    I'm quite satisfied with the camera work too, it was not not like an amateur filming their encounter like that of Paranormal Activity, it was from an experience cameraman that made it feel like you were there seeing their journey from beginning all the way to the end of the movie.

    I highly recommend watching this film, it won't disappoint fans of horror films.

    Worst movie I have seen so far....

    Oh my God! This movie was awful... It needed actors, a director, and an actual story. Biggest spoiler I could give on this movie? IT WAS SO GOD AWFUL THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EMBEDDED IN A HOLE SOMEWHERE INSTEAD OF MAKING ITS DEBUT ON DVD!!! No real actors here folks! Just a lame attempt at taking a shot at making a movie. Did they ask for volunteers from the local PTA or grocery store staff to be in this movie? ...because it sure does looks like it! I am not sure how anyone could give this movie more than 1 star rating, as I would have given in less if it were possible. There is a saying that 1000 monkeys with typewriters will eventually write a sentence... I don't think they had enough monkeys working on this script. Amateurish attempt at a movie at its best, a big waste of time, horrible, this is why children shouldn't play with video cameras.

    Try again

    This movie sucks. A silly plot, combined with a bunch of gun loving hillbillies and a jumpy camera was enough for me. It eventually got to a point that I didn't care what they were dealing with.
