Shadows of Bigfoot

Given the obstacles and restrains that come with a low budget indie film, I believe this film achieves what it set out to do, which was provide relatable characters, believable motivations and special effects that pack a visceral punch. The story is linear that focuses more on the dynamics between the leads rather than shoving the "creature" in your face. This film doesn't try to make you believe it's a Hollywood blockbuster. It's a passion project made by people making the best with what they have and in that regard, it's succeeds. If you can set aside the expectations you may have for high budget mainstream projects, I think there's a ton to appreciate and admire here.

Whether you like their movies or not you have to be impressed with the low budget and quantity of movies they are producing!

They are a low budget indie movie company that does everything pretty much in house. They are always striving to make each movie better than the last and I think they are absolutely improving their quality with each movie.

Shadows of Bigfoot is finally here and ready for the world to see. I think the put a pretty quality bigfoot movie. Bigfoot is a popular movie topic and I think it hits Everytime. The bear trap scene was amazing and loved the use of props in this one.

Excited to see what DBS puts out next!

Great job by all.

The full cast was amazing and the movie was really really really good. I don't know why ppl are so negative towards this movie. It's really good and I'm excited to see it be on Tubi so I can watch it again like horror in the forest which was just okay.

Idk

I got nothing more to really say about this movie.

Bla bla bla bla

Great job dbs films what a terrific movie. So good job on this movie and every movie that y'all are going to produce. I love this company so much I have made so any friends from it. . I would definitely love to see this their movies in the theaters one day.

I am a BIG Indie Fan.

Not all movies are a 10 but you have to look further then CGI and VFX.. This company goes hard on making movies and use what resources that are available to them.. If you're looking for fun and excitement then give it a watch.. Their SFX has gotten so much better then their previous movies.. I loved their backstory to Bigfoot.. If you are a indie fan or a Bigfoot fan then this is a must watch for you.. If you are looking for a multimillion dollar film then this isn't for you but you may just like it..

And No they didn't pay me to write a review. This is my personal opinion.

I bumped into this efficient little film on Tubi. It's a found footage horror in which a young filmmaking couple, with the woman's brother acting as cameraman, illegally explore a trail in the woods, ostensibly to interview a hermit accused of killing his family. The hermit says bigfoot did it. Is the hermit a killer? Or was it bigfoot? Or both?

The crux of the film is the two solid performances by Tatum Bates and Andrew Thomas as the couple. They sell their non-actorly performances and hit all the right found footage notes at different moments. They are real as a couple, as researchers, as filmmakers, as people having minor disagreements. Supporting players are definitely not as good, or not directed as well. A menacing guy who sort of threatens to help them is considerably overshooting. And I didn't think the hermit character was able to pull off the fake documentary type of performance.

The story has a good red herring with the hermit. You know bigfoot's real, you glimpse him in the gee-you-up opening scenes, but the hermit may or may not also be a killer. Little Blair-Witch-like developments keep the story evolving. Can we make this hike? Can we find this guy? Do we trust this stranger?

There are a few weak points. The scenery rarely changes; I guess it's all filmed in one area, and this subtracts from a visual sense that we're getting deeper and wilder in the woods. The characters always look too well-scrubbed, even after twelve mile hikes or with blood on them. And while non-diegetic music is used (kind of controversial in this genre) it's mixed so low it might as well not be.

However, with strong core performances, good story development and excellent late escalation, including some discreet gore, this is ultimately a satisfying film. There are a few killer jump scares, too.
