In Search of the Port Chatham Hairy Man

At first I was really excited by this one because these guys seemed to know what they were doing, what with the guns and the EV equipment. But I soon came to realize that this isn't a Bigfoot hunt, this is a walking tour of Alaska. These out of shape troglydites are just wandering around the woods for hours, finding nothing and doing nothing. And some of them really do seem a little slow so I feel guilty watching it.

For added insult, everytime something supposedly happens it's when the camera's off. Which probably means it didn't happen. Literally we're told about tracks and sounds multiple times, but the camera never seems to be on when this happens. So no spooky Bigfoot activity for you viewer.

PS: Don't think I didn't notice the camera man glued to that woman's bottom.

Annoying camerawork where you are meant to feel the "expedition" is constantly being watched by Bigfoot.

Boring.

Every time the guy wearing the norwester cap handles the shotgun I cringe.

The female in the group is used as set dressing.

Nothing new. Bears live in the woods. Lots of filming of bear scat. Pointless bashing on trees meant to encourage a response from Bigfoot. Yada yada yada.

I don't really like to leave poor reviews but this was incredibly disappointing. I had watched the preview a couple months back and was intrigued,but upon watching it I found it a complete waste of time.

Unfortunately almost every person in this movie was either a decrepit old man, an incredibly annoying girl who didn't have a place in this expedition, or a stoner who was so strung out he should have been looking for Bigfoot with the Scooby Doo gang. The only person in this movie who wasn't a moron was Larry aka, "Beans", as he was the only person who was objective about the subject they were investigating and he didn't look at every detail around them as, "evidence" of Bigfoot. Apart from the obnoxious cast, the worst part of this movie was the fact that the "explorers" in this movie kept seeing Bigfoot behind every tree, yet no one was able to capture these sightings on camera. Along with this disappointment, the camera work alone was so terrible that it felt as if the person working the camera had never held one before in their life. They were very shaky and they did not know how to properly show the beautiful scenery around them. However, this could have been bearable had it not been for the irritating Valley Girl esque vernacular of the only female explorer, Mary Beth who claimed to be a, "biologist". Even with this knowledge, Mary Beth was not able to positively identify goat remains and she was the main explorer who witnessed Bigfoot more times than any other person on this expedition. Do not waste your time on this ridiculous film as it is more akin to a video that would be shown in a middle school geography class than it is a, "Bigfoot Documentary". There was more information shared about the history of the town than there was about the numerous Bigfoot attacks that allegedly ran the inhabitants of Port Chatham out of the area. How can you call your movie a Bigfoot documentary and spend most of your movie talking about the ghost town that you are surveying instead of Bigfoot? I want my $1.99 back along with the last hour and half of my life. Yikes!

I really enjoyed this film and the incredible Alaskan Scenery makes it worth the watch from the start. The subject of Port Lock and Port Chatham is fascinating to say the least but I have to admit that redheads black tights pretty much took up most of my focus throughout the film both times I rented it.
