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.
There are very specific types of movies I like watching while I'm on the treadmill, doing laundry, or dishes. Ones that aren't maddening in their awfulness, and not so great that it requires my full attention. Something just sort of ok. This is that kind of movie.
There was only one 'actor' to speak of, the deputy guy. If he had a better script, I could see him doing really well. The rest were bad enough to be called super amateur, but not bad enough that it was really distracting. I mean, if the story and script were better, the acting levels would have been distracting, so take that for what it's worth. The again, if the script were better, maybe the acting would have been, too. Probably not.
The jump scares are harmless fun, just how I like them.
The flying dog was entertaining, the taxidermied bear that was supposed to be freshly killed was pretty pathetic. It's not a good movie. But for some reason, it didn't piss me off.
If you need background noise and to forget you're doing some mundane but still be able to do the mundane thing, I guess this movie will do.

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.
The worst film I think I've ever seen horribly made. They keep cutting scenes trying to make it look like it's camera issues but it's just terrible acting. It's supposed to be scary but I was actually laughing because how terrible it was.
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.
