    It is hard to overstate how horrible this film is

    I doubt I can add anything to the comprehensive list of reviews below. What claims to be a documentary is actually a full length infomercial on Todd and his business which is to bring people into the woods and expose them to bigfoot. As a believer in sasquatch, I came into this wanting to learn more. Instead, I watched a man desperate to get attention to how cool he is blather on. I wondered at times if he is in on the joke after one too many scenes of him running around like a weekend commando and listening to audio of him chastise himself for not finding focus properly. I learned absolutely nothing but that bigfoot can steal 2 hours of my time and I can do nothing about it.

    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.

    I do recommend to watch it! It's amusing!

    Where to start? This film is hilarious! It's so phony and so fake, it is an insult to intelligence ...or maybe made just for good laugh! I really enjoyed stupidity of it, it's sooo bad.. I mean very badly made.. but it's also bloody funny! Just watch it guys :) enjoy "delicious apples" scene, oh man, I pissed my pants it was so hilarious. Why I would give 2 stars and not one? One star because it's so bad and another because its a good laugh!

    I'm interested, but...

    Todd, you're simply not delivering the goods. We don't need another ghost hunter reality TV show. We need something that's harder to fake..

    Show us some hair or scat or any kind of DNA to confirm that it's unique. You've allegedly got specimens standing in places you've prepared. Use hair traps in those areas.

    Also, do what it takes to get a decent rotary wing drone with gyro stabilized conventional and infrared cameras. Good aerial footage of multiple animals navigating rugged terrain would be very compelling.

    And don't stop there. You say you know where they live. Get a high altitude fixed wing drone into the mix. Follow them home after one of your apple parties. You could document group behavior with very low risk of exposure.

    That coupled with hard DNA evidence would go a long way to building scientific consensus and lower the probability of actually having to capture one to end the controversy.

    So there you go, big guy. If you can't pick it up and run from there, then you're just another grifter. Please prove me wrong.

    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.
