Hunting Grounds

This is a low budget monster feature. The Sasquatch are played by actors in suits, but we see them so sparingly thanks to director John Portanova that, to me, that's never a problem - I often prefer practical effects to CGI anyway, unless there are millions of dollars on offer.

Portanovaa also produces and writes, so his story doesn't over-exert its ambition, meaning that every set piece can at least be adequately realised. This restraint is commendable, and I enjoyed the resultant film as a result.

A few nice twists, some agreeable characters and a fair pace. Can't say fairer than that. My score is 7 out of 10.

This film could have been good if they would have left out the first 45 minutes of the film which was nothing more than a father and son drama... they dragged that on way to long. And the boy's uncle looked as if he was going to sit in the lotus position at any given seconded chanting the "OM" - lol he really didn't belong in the woods with the others. And the son was more like his uncle than his father - that's good and bad - the father was a piece of puckie, but the son wasn't any better towards his dad.

The last 45 minutes we finally get to the "Bigfoot" or Sasquatch - that part was okay. I will say they tried to give a good film... it almost worked but it does have it's short comings.

4/10

I simply have to keep it short, thus I hope I won't exceed the 10 lines minimum rule.

Hunting Grounds is a 2 stars movie! 1 because it doesn't get any lower than that and 2 because they made production. Amazingly enough this movie was green lighted by someone and it happened. It appeared on rental and I guess a bunch of people got to see it.

What a shame! What a waste of time. Simply put: awful and beyond. Just stay away from this one. It has nothing to bring. It will amaze you, but this is not The Room bad, this is just so bad.

Cheers!

After waiting for over a year for this movie to come I finally got to watch it. It's not that good. Bad acting and uninteresting characters. If you want to watch a really good Bigfoot movie I highly suggest watching "Exists". Now that's a Bigfoot movie. "Hunting Grounds" pales in comparison.

This film tells the story of his father and son who visited their place of residence in a remote forest after that, all of which became chaotic, when mysterious creatures began to terrorize them. This film has a weakness that is the very bad acting of the actor in this film.
