Featured reviews
Obviously this is a low budget type flick. Some of it is interesting. I see some of the crew and friends of the cast have left some reviews here. LoL. My biggest complaint was some of the characters are so dumb and use no commen sense whatsoever. Maybe the people this happened to were really that stupid. Can't recommend this but won't tell you not to watch it.
This is one of the worst movies I have ever watched. The acting is so bad it borders between a high school talent show sketch and a bad after school special. There is very little character development and even less chemistry between the cast. The dialogue delivery is very awkward at times, and seems like they are reading their lines for the very first time. The pacing of the story is almost non existent, and what very little story intrigue is built, falls flat on poor editing and poorly cast characters. If you want to watch a similar genre movie, I would recommend Exists - a better movie based on this type of legend. I have no idea how this movie currently is a 6.4/10. Maybe the entire cast, crew, and studio had an IMDb voting party?
The dialogue and delivery are very clunky but it's at least a more believable progression of events for a Bigfoot movie. The creature sound effects were actually pretty creepy, props for that. There's no denying it's a very low budget film but it's not awful. It doesn't demand your undivided attention so if you're into Bigfoot movies I'd recommend having it play while doing the dishes or paperwork etc. Woulda been 5/10 but a few particular scenes were so poorly acted it was plain awkward.
I went into this film reading all kinds of negative reviews here. I watched it and found it to be decent for a low budget effort. Yes, there is no gore and no T&A like so many low budget exploits. The acting could be a little more polished, but I liked the characters and could relate to the father in this family. I liked the film; you may not. All I can say is: watch it & decide for yourself.
Fortunately for the movie I love all things Bigfoot. Sasquatch may be real, it may only be a legend and IMO most "eyewitness accounts" are overt fictitious accounts to get 5 seconds of notoriety. Still, I love the subject and movies like this are fun to watch (albeit a little painful, LOL). The acting speaks for itself so I'm not going to even comment on it. I actually thought the editing was on par with bigger budget productions so that's a plus. I did like the story and in the end that's all that matters.
