The Quachita Beast Incident

I don't usually leave reviews, but I'm just so upset with myself for watching this until the very end. There was obviously no script since the main characters stumbled over what they were going to say throughout the entire movie. No real story and no action at all. Simply guys stumbling through a forest and long (and I mean long) shots of plants, trees, a stick being thrown, bones, etc. There was one shot of the poor old guy on his hands and knees crawling across the forest floor from one side of the screen to the other. Holy crap, he crawled so slow! I was praying at that point the sasquatch would take him and this shlock would come to an end. Beware...the only "beastly incident" that will happen concerning this movie is you pushing play.

I think I used up my positive in the heading, but to be honest I've seen worse. Was there a script? I do love the looks to camera and the fumbling of lines, but as I say I've seen worse and it's a fine effort given that the chocolate bar was probably the most money spent on the production.

I'd say this was try indie film making and a vanity project - either that or they had some video left over from a recent 21st birthday party and didn't want to waste it. There's some decent wilderness scenes (mostly stock footage I'd imagine) in the movie and as someone has already mentioned you'll see several seasons in the space of an hour, but don't let this review or the production values put you off giving this movie a try. I'd much rather watch a low grade indie movie than a big budget pile of crap, of which there are many.

Few films if any, deliver this level of relaxation. Watching elderly gentlemen hiking through through wilderness, rarely speaking with over dubbed bird song is simply a cinematic revelation. It has helped me reframe my expectations of movie excellence. We maybe witnessing the birth of a new genre. The clever interplay of the occasional big foot growl offers a juxtaposition of the relaxed with the abject terror of the prowling beast glimpsed, as though a man in a ghillie suit. The cinematography left me speechless, filmed using a late 80s handycam to great effect, giving the film a homemade feel. I watched this film unable to move transfixed by its unfolding drama, awaiting the thrilling finish. In a word 'amazing'. Great that we have seen a wider release of this emerging classic. Thank you for that, whoever thought of it. Thank you indeed.

First of all, it's the Ouachita National Forest, not Quachita. It's right there on the map for anyone even glancing, not doing research for a screenplay. As someone who lives here, it's kind of insulting. And just like the Ozark Mountains here in the northern part of the state, none of them have snowcapped peaks like they show in the stock footage they used.

For an old guy who lives out in the country in Arkansas, why does his pickup have Texas plates?

When the shot is of the guy walking away from the truck to get a walking stick out of a shop building, didn't just keep rolling one long shot until he gets back. Nobody does that, Edit it short into two different shots from different angles. Better yet, leave the scene out altogether. It adds nothing to the story.

I honestly didn't see much more than a few minutes after because it's just that unwatchable.

And yes, it really does look like it was shot using a tripod and somebody's phone.

Even I can tell it's filmed with an iPhone... the quality of it is quite poor. I thought this movie would be intense for my taste with special effects but all this was just a low budget film with low budget crew. Well the only thing I can say is that I did enjoyed it just a tiny fraction at least when there was something based on true events, however the Sasquatch or whatever that thing is needs to be better, it doesn't look that scary at all and all I did was just laugh. I wouldn't waste my time watching this film unless you have nothing else around that you can watch but it is what it is. Music is not bad though, I dig it!
