Nightbeasts

At time of writing this bigfoot themed horror has a 7.8 rating on IMDb, this is incredibly high and I can't for the life of me work out how.

Another clichéd sasquatch film about a father and son going on a hunting trip and coming under attack from our hairy big footed friends.

Starring Gremlins (1984) franchise lead Zach Galligan this dreadful piece of cinema is an embarrassment from start to finish.

I knew it was likely to be bad when I saw Lloyd Kaufmans name in the credits but didn't expect it to be this dire.

Though the creature effects are okay everything else falls flat from the weak script to the mixed tone and pitiful acting.

No originality, no effort, it's like they threw together a film with no work going into it for a quick payday.

The Good:

Sasquatch sfx are okay

The Bad:

Lloyd Kaufman is just terrible

Some of the dialogue is embarrassing

Acting is laughable

Galligan just has one of those faces you want to hit with a flaming two by four

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Sleeping in the same bed as your dad aged 15 odd is totally not weird at all

Blowing the heads off majestic animals is a great way of bonding with your offspring

The time of day can be different on opposite sides of a mountain

My ex-boyfriend lies a lot (ahem) so I totally believed he was exaggerating when he told me the Gremlins guy, Billy Peltzer (also known as a super hot older actor Zach Galligan)was in a movie about Sasquatch. I love the whole Bigfoot myth, with the sightings, real or not. So, when my ex told me to sit down and watch Nightbeasts, I finally agreed to. There I was with a bowl of popcorn at my side when the Sasquatch claimed his(?? - maybe it was a protective momma Shequatch?)first victim. I was so hooked on this movie from that point until the final tense moments. I really enjoyed the believably realistic storyline about alcoholic and divorced Charles Thomas taking his son for a stay in the woods, while dealing with the seriously deep emotions coming from being rejected by his ex-wife. There was a great balance to this movie - just enough gore, enough romance, enough angry Sasquatch attacks, enough Native American lore. The acting was fantastic, the storyline is solid, and some scenes were shot with breathtaking clarity, which is a reminder that not all "good" movies come from Hollywood. I won't be watching Transformers 7 in 2019, by the way.
