    Worst film ever?

    Even I can tell it's filmed with an iPhone... the quality of it is quite poor. I thought this movie would be intense for my taste with special effects but all this was just a low budget film with low budget crew. Well the only thing I can say is that I did enjoyed it just a tiny fraction at least when there was something based on true events, however the Sasquatch or whatever that thing is needs to be better, it doesn't look that scary at all and all I did was just laugh. I wouldn't waste my time watching this film unless you have nothing else around that you can watch but it is what it is. Music is not bad though, I dig it!

    really great movie i love bigfoot stuff.

    This movie is actually based on a true event in arkansas, as i watched i felt like i was with Master Hughes and i loved hearing the legend side where bigfoot is said to roam in arkansas, i also like the fact that he kept this movie to the facts of what actually happened, and reported it that way without trying to make it scarier , cause it was scary enough, this happened in arkansas, and having been in arkansas i know its rugged, ignore the fake comments that someone left ,this is a great movies i watched it on Tubi.

    Master Hughes this movie was awesome very well done, beautiful scenery . I stayed glued to the TV throughout the whole movie. It kelp me interested I keep waiting for the Quachita Beast to walk out on you at any time. It very intense at campsite. Who ever did the filming did an amazing job also. When you were running and the beast hit you I thought it had for ya for good . This was an awesome movie just like all the other movies you have done. We maybe witnessing the birth of a new genre. The clever interplay of the occasional big foot growl offers a juxtaposition of the relaxed with the abject terror of the prowling beast glimpsed, as though a man in a ghillie suit. The cinematography left me speechless, the effects were really neat , giving the film a home made feel. I watched this film unable to move transfixed by its unfolding drama, awaiting the thrilling finish. In a word 'amazing'. Great that we have seen a wider release of this emerging classic. Thank you for that, whoever thought of it. Thank you indeed.

    Looks like it was shot on someone's phone

    First of all, it's the Ouachita National Forest, not Quachita. It's right there on the map for anyone even glancing, not doing research for a screenplay. As someone who lives here, it's kind of insulting. And just like the Ozark Mountains here in the northern part of the state, none of them have snowcapped peaks like they show in the stock footage they used.

    For an old guy who lives out in the country in Arkansas, why does his pickup have Texas plates?

    When the shot is of the guy walking away from the truck to get a walking stick out of a shop building, didn't just keep rolling one long shot until he gets back. Nobody does that, Edit it short into two different shots from different angles. Better yet, leave the scene out altogether. It adds nothing to the story.

    I honestly didn't see much more than a few minutes after because it's just that unwatchable.

    And yes, it really does look like it was shot using a tripod and somebody's phone.

    Absolute complete and utter rubbish

    This is 114 minutes of your life that you will never get back... This 'movie', if you can call it that, doesn't even have a discernible storyline. It is devoid of any form of acting talent and was probably shot using and old mobile phone and a goPro.

    Basically, a half senile old man goes for a walk in the woods, meets another guy who he hikes with for a while. They split and then nothing happens until about the 112 minute mark.

    The big dramatic moment doesn't even have the shag pile carpet 'sasquatch' in the same frame as the senile old man. In fact the cheap fur coat 'sasquatch' doesn't appear at any point in the movie in the same frame as the old man.

    Out of 114 minutes about 74 minutes are stock nature footage that has nothing to do with anything. Another 30 minutes are repeats of the same sequences presented as different points along the hike. Nobody associated with this film has ever heard of the term 'continuity'.

    There is nothing about this movie that is either interesting, entertaining, informative or worth your time to watch it.

    More enjoyable than Exorcist Believer

    I think I used up my positive in the heading, but to be honest I've seen worse. Was there a script? I do love the looks to camera and the fumbling of lines, but as I say I've seen worse and it's a fine effort given that the chocolate bar was probably the most money spent on the production.

    I'd say this was try indie film making and a vanity project - either that or they had some video left over from a recent 21st birthday party and didn't want to waste it. There's some decent wilderness scenes (mostly stock footage I'd imagine) in the movie and as someone has already mentioned you'll see several seasons in the space of an hour, but don't let this review or the production values put you off giving this movie a try. I'd much rather watch a low grade indie movie than a big budget pile of crap, of which there are many.
