    Sasquatch is where it's at!

    Fun view. Lots of good informations. Makes a good intro into the subject.

    I'm now a 25% believer . . .

    Up from 10%.

    A great deep dive into the potential anatomy, the Patterson-Gimlin and other film/sound recordings, and the phenomenon of Sasquatch in general.

    Disclaimer: I want to believe!

    The Science of The 'Squatch

    For the sake of full disclosure, I've been joyously consuming Sasquatch-related media since I was a kid in the 1970's, with first exposure coming from the television series, "In Search Of - With Leonard Nimoy."

    I'm admittedly well up for either or both the scientific and the ludicrous when it comes to this particular subject matter. But "Beyond The Spectrum - The Unwonted Sasquatch" has no time for the rubbishy tabloid-end of myth-making, as this ensnaring documentary is instead fully engrossed in the alleged interpretive science that's risen up from the woods over decades (in fact as the film evolves, it turns its own methodical guns on other snake oil purveyors of pure Bigfoot sensationalism). From its deep dive of The 'Squatch's likely anatomical composition, to completely convicted witness interviews and hardcore scientific dissection of the potential physical evidence at hand, this documentary drills right in to the core possibilities nature has presented, thereby disassociating itself from the hippy dippy interstellar suppositions trying to crowd its path (the detailed analysis of bipedal primate footprints is a showcase example of this doc's slant towards the interpretative "facts").

    When a purported legend or myth presents itself as ripe for the public to pile onto and distort to the point of commodification, the possibility of that legend's actual physical legitimacy is rendered too cartoonish for any science to still reasonably stick to its bones. "Beyond The Spectrum - The Unwonted Sasquatch" rewinds back to Bigfoot's potential evidentiary roots, carefully reconstructing from the ground up the actual possibilities of this creature's real-world existence.

    Guilty pleasure

    This was a fun watch.I didn't expect to actually make it thru the whole film... how much more is there to say about Big Foot -- but I couldn't turn it off. The sub-par production value actually contributed to the whole viewing experience for me. it almost felt like a found footage experiment. There's a pretty in depth examination of the dated Patterson film - which I found fascinating - and meshed well with the faulty sound and hand-held camera. I enjoyed it. a good way to spend a winter weekend.

    Decent Bigfoot Documentary

    The Unwonted Sasquatch (2016)

    ** 1/2 (out of 4)

    If you're a fan of Bigfoot, like I am, then I'm sure you've seen countless movies, television specials and documentaries. There are so many films out there that it's hard to find anything that offers up anything new and while there's really nothing new here, the documentary remains entertaining thanks in large part to the discussions in it.

    I thought the most fascinating stuff dealt with the infamous 1967 Patterson footage. Yes, we've heard about this footage countless times but here they try to give it a more scientific approach and look at how the creature was walking. The "experts" interviewed here are at least entertaining and there are some very good stories told and discussed. There are several eye-witness accounts and they too are fascinating if you're a fan of the subject.

    The film appears to have been done on a very small budget as there are some technical glitches but at the same time the low-budget look gives it a bit of an atmosphere.
