Sasquatch Hunters

I got this movie out of Blockbuster in one of those racks were you can get like 5 movies for 20 bucks. I'd have to say I got my money's worth on this one. I had expected horrible dialogue, crappy monsters, and shaky cameras. Well, as Meatloaf said, two outta three ain't bad.

The acting is bad, though not as bad as some movies I've seen. Or maybe I've watched so many low budget movies recently I've lost perspective. There are some bits were the acting is downright terrible, but for the most part it's of at least High School Play level.

The CG for the Sasquatch in this movie is probably the second-worst part. The first thing I thought when I saw it (and I noticed another reviewer agreed with me) was that a man in an ape suit would have been better. Clunky stop-motion animation would have looked better.

So you may be asking why I call the CG the second-worst part. That's because the very worst part of the movie is the sound effects. They are loud, annoying, and constant. I've been camping, I know what insects sound like in the woods at night, and while they can be loud, they're not deafening like the cacophony in this movie. Usually when the "background" sounds drown out the movie's dialogue, it's a bad thing, but from what I caught of the dialogue of this film, I wasn't missing much.

The action was infrequent and boring. The tension was non-existent, as was any sense of empathy with the characters. Speaking of the characters, they were all cookie-cutter and bland. The only mildly engaging byplay was between...actually, I can't think of anything. There was a line or two that made me crack a wan smile, but that was about it.

The cinematography was decent, a step or two above what you'd normally see in a movie like this. However, it still had that "home movie" quality to it that you get with movies made on pocket change and a prayer.

If you're like me and get a kick out of shoestring budget genre flicks, and you see this one in the dollar bin, think about grabbing it. Otherwise, stay away at all costs.

Budget, decent actors ...who knew these things were important. Don't waste your time on this piece of junk. The effects are crap. The acting is crap. The only thing that could have made this even tolerable was a little cheap T&A and that gets squandered in the first 20 minutes.

The only even remotely redeeming quality about this movie is the very awkward profanity. It was like they found the only 7 people on the planet who have never cursed before. Hats off!

If you want to see some dude in a bad suit just go back and look at old prom photos. The only way for a Bigfoot flick to be any good is for it to have a big budget and some actors who didn't come from Frogballs Community Theater.

The CGI in this movie is laughably bad. Like made on someone's computer at home, and it jumps and has fuzzy edges and just looks terrible. But at least the movie moves along and is entertaining. Many bad movies are just BAD, this is one of the bad movies that is actually bearable because it's bad but still entertaining. There are parts, mostly the CGI but also some of the terrible plot holes (nobody realizes these "ape like bones" could be a bigfoot?) and dialogue and some shall we politely say "less than professional acting". If you're into sasquatch movies, like I am, it's definitely worth checking out. Most people can skip this unless you're really into watching bad cheesy movies to laugh at them with your friends, and don't mind fast forwarding through the longer chunks with no funnies in them :)

foywonder's review of this cheap STV hits the nail squarely on the head. Make sure you read it. In case you don't, a group of scientists heads off into the deep woods of the Pacific Northwest, to fumble around with a bunch of bones in an animal graveyard. The Big Foot family doesn't take kindly to this, and proceeds to pick off the team one by one, largely offscreen. Big Foot himself has a distinctly ape-like face, but is less scary overall than Harry from HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS. Most of the movie has the wooden, generic actors pretending to be scientists tromping around in the woods and yakking away. This is a no-budget movie in which very little happens, at least on screen. We do get to watch the sexiest of the females take a shower while one of her male companions watches, but nothing comes of this.

*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*

A bunch of scientists and rangers head out into the woods to look for fossils. They stumble upon a Bigfoot graveyard. Those bones are huge! Could gorillas be living out here in the woods? What creature could have chowed down on a bear and thrown him up a tree? It must be a Sasquatch. The scientists will have to toughen up if they want to survive the night as the Sasquatch doesn't like anyone messing with his buried friends and relatives.

"Sasquatch Hunters" is a decent B-movie. I knew it was going to be a straight down the middle flick when two idiots were killed in the first ten minutes. The Sasquatch is an angry monster who likes to hunt humans. My kind of beast. The effects were laughable and the girl with the biggest breasts didn't get topless but overall I was satisfied. It's worth a look if you like monster flicks.
