Feet of Death

At least they came up with the most stupid title for a movie ever.

But that's about it.

The rest is what you'd expect from a movie with such a stupid title.

Apparently filmed on an old iphone some doofus characters wander amilessly through the woods searching for Bigfoot.

That is when they don't just sit around somewhere talking about some nonsensical and boring stuff.

Needless to say the "actors" (if you can even call them that) are really bad only to be outdone but a ridiculous "script" and lousy directing.

It all looks like some totally stoned dudes wandered around the woods and said "Let's just shoot some stupid movie on our old iphones, anyone got an idea?" "Well, uh, I dunno, but has anyone ever heard about that Bigfoot dude?" "Never heard about that one, dude. Let's just shoot a movie about it and put it on my youtube channel. I need some more suscribers." "Uh, dude, you already have 8, what do you need more for?"

Needless to say, even in the category of "Brainless amateurs trying to film a movie" - "Feet of Death" is a new low.

Feet of Death is one of those movies that sneaks up on you. Going in, you might think it's just another Bigfoot flick, but it's way more than that. The story kicks off with Jason, a forest ranger who's pretty much hit rock bottom. He's grieving loss, and you can feel his pain as he tries to drown his sorrows in the wilderness he's supposed to protect. Things take a wild turn when a social media influencer dies in a weird way and suddenly there's talk of Bigfoot being on the loose. Once the hunt for Bigfoot gets going, things get tense, and the creepy atmosphere doesn't let up. Some parts drag a little but the buildup is worth it. If you're into a movie with a solid mix of drama and horror, Feet of Death is a ride you won't regret taking.

I'm definitely not a horror or murder mystery film fan but the opening scenes of this film showed that it was well produced with great camera visuals and lighting. The later cave scenes were similarly well setup with really well thought out locations and the night scenes benefited from perfectly lit woods (not an easy task either). Overall the production quality shows that it was not a cheap indie film.

I found a bit of exposition at the start and occasional dialogue to be a bit flat in parts but the Sheriff character's good and gruff nature seemed to fit well with the story and there were some standout dialogue scenes which made up for any weaker areas. There was some good aspects in the use of influencer video POV to mix things up a bit although jumping back and forth between present day and the influencer selfie videos gets a bit confusing along with the change in static camera views and YouTube style selfies.

As for Bigfoot in a furry costume - well what else would you use in a film..? A real Bigfoot? Of course it's a costume!! Besides Bigfoot is supposed to be a large biped. Not sure what some of the other reviews complained about here but it worked for me.

Overall the film was likeable, attention keeping and watchable and very well shot and set with good visually attractive scenes.

Nice joke. 'Bigfoot killing people sounds like a bad horror movie'

What do you do when you have a vanity project in mind but it's too lacklustre for YouTube and too long for TikTok? You convene your family and closest friends and slap it together anyway, using the aforementioned family and friends to pump your IMDb ratings and reviews sky-high in an effort to suck the unsuspecting into a viewing.

The fact that most people (including most of your nearest and dearest) would've abandoned the viewing within minutes means nothing to you, as long as you can say "look at all them views!"

There aren't enough drugs in the world to make this even a tolerable, let alone passable, "movie." Anyone who hasn't undergone a double lobotomy would be well advised to simply laugh this one off and avoid viewing at all costs.

I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 2024 horror movie "Feet of Death", and of course did so since I hadn't already seen the movie. I had never actually heard about it. But I have to say that the movie's title just wasn't great.

The storyline in the movie was bland and forgettable. I wasn't particularly entertained throughout the course of the 106 prolonged minutes that the movie ran for. Writers Ashley Chick, James Chick and Ryan Stahl just failed to conjure up an overly interesting, much less actually entertaining, script and storyline for director James Chick to bring to the screen.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but the acting performances were fair, though nothing outstanding really.

Visually then you're not in for anything grand. "Feet of Death" was a low-key special effects movie. Not that I think an abundance of great special effects would have mattered much, because the movie was lacking in the story department.

While I did manage to sit through the entire movie, I wasn't particularly entertained. And I can honestly say that I am not returning to watch "Feet of Death" a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would warmly recommend for horror genre fans to rush out and get to watch.

My rating of director James Chick's 2024 movie "Feet of Death" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.
