    Todd Standing has a poor reputation among the community of serious Sasquatch researchers

    The director of this video, Todd Standing, has a poor reputation among the community of serious Sasquatch researchers, in part due to allegations that he has faked video footage. That alone is enough for me to have a biased attitude while watching this film. And really the only reason why I even gave this a look was due to the presence of both Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum and Dr. John Bindernagel, two highly respected professionals who have contributed quite a lot to the field of Sasquatch research. And while both Meldrum and Bindernagel manage to exhibit skepticism to much of the alleged evidence that Todd Standing supposedly has uncovered in this film, I still have to wonder just why both of those doctorates chose to appear in this film at all. And yes, I am one of those people who is convinced by the currently available evidence that Sasquatch/Bigfoot is a real, flesh and blood creature. But, in my opinion, documentaries such as this one do more harm to the subject than they do good. I cannot help but feel that Todd Standing is primarily an opportunist who is seeking fame and nothing more.

    A great laugh, but not much of a documentary

    First things first. Yes, I believe that there could very well be living Sasquatch out there. Now we've got this out of the way, let's focus on this "documentary".

    The introduction goes almost on for 10 minutes on how well Todd (the film maker) is trained in everything, while you see him running in full sniper camouflage gear/suit. This all topped with some cheap music to create some false suspension. I was crying and laughing at the same time. At times I just wondered if all of this was one big joke, and some college kid made one of the best parody comedies ever. I wish...

    This documentary is based on some bad crappy footage of supposed to be Sasquatch. And some close ups who look very real (I must admit) and actually could very well be something significant. This said and done, you would expect the documentary maker would take his claims further and will try to hunt for better footage than he already has given. Wrong. What he does is take you on a boring 1 hour 30 minute journey, showing you every footprint he claims to be Sasquatch. Suddenly every noise that was made, is produced by a Sasquatch. And when you think this couldn't get any worse, he starts talking about how he is supposedly being followed very close. And he even starts to draw out paths, and even describes how many Sasquatch are following him, and how they look like. Sadly for the viewer, not one shred of film footage is given, backing this up. To back up his claims he involves two professors. Everything he does is just put pressure on this two people. Just at the point it's not even funny anymore. He lacks total healthy self criticism. This documentary is clearly made by a fan boy, desperately trying to prove that this things exist. Nothings else matters.

    Todd is probably a great guy. And I believe he is a great enthousiast, and I hope he will one day find the smoking gun, that for once can proof their existence. But for the love of god, never again make a documentary. Please?

    THIS IS A 90 MINUTE AD FOR A "SASQUATCH ENCOUNTER" TOUR

    It's looking pretty grim here folks. Go to sylvanic.com and all that's offered there is a $5K encounter adventure with Todd. It would seem he's far more interested in taking people into the middle of nowhere and scaring the shit out of them than actually proving his claims.

    I sent him an email on how to get the evidence (hair traps and decent drones) to objectively confirm his claims. No response.

    Sorry Todd, your little flick to market your bullshit "meet the sasquatch" camp out fell on its face. I guess your sasquatch masks should have been a good clue. They look little to nothing like one another and the one peering through the log is obviously a gorilla mask.

    I'm sorry you have to wake up every morning and still be a piece of shit grifter. But hey, maybe you're a true psychopath and genuinely can't help yourself.

    An ok mockumentary

    I can only believe that this is a mockumentary, a well done one, but still made up. This is the 21st century, there are so many methods available to people nowadays that this guy could have used to gain positive evidence of the existence of bigfoot, so why doesn't he have it? As previously stated give us some tangible evidence, DNA would be irrefutable, the videos just don't look real, no facial movement at all, looks like a mask, sorry.

    better be careful, when going into the woods

    Either this man is the greatest cheater, as even the film's experts saw no signs of a fake scenario that would require a lot of preparation, or it is true, real. There is crystal clear footage of the faces of these entities. In addition, night vision material, infrared. Tracks and much more. I don't understand the negative comments in some reviews.
