Something in the Woods

This isn't a movie that's supposed to have an original plot. It's an extremely low budget visualization of the events that supposedly happened at Copalis Beach, Or. Is every little detail of the place and time accurate? Nah. Would it have been easy to fix those issues? Sure...but take it for what it is. If you want a good retelling of the events go on Bob Gymlan's Youtube channel and check it out. I wish they'd do more low budget visualizations of reported events.

Yes the acting and direction was bad - but so nostalgically so. What do I mean? It is filmed just like the B-movies from from the period they were depicting. The sets were right on for the period. The script, acting, directing and cinematography was so much like movies of the time that if didn't see the modern time scenes it would be hard to know that it wasn't filmed then. That actually would be a difficult thing to do today. For that reason, I assume it was all very intentional -- therefore I have to give major kudos to how well that was pulled off! Because of the nostalgia aspect I actually kind of enjoyed it. Sorry that seems missed by many reviewing. Oh well.

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.

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.
