Valley of the Sasquatch

This is a low budget monster feature. The Sasquatch are played by actors in suits, but we see them so sparingly thanks to director John Portanova that, to me, that's never a problem - I often prefer practical effects to CGI anyway, unless there are millions of dollars on offer.

Portanovaa also produces and writes, so his story doesn't over-exert its ambition, meaning that every set piece can at least be adequately realised. This restraint is commendable, and I enjoyed the resultant film as a result.

A few nice twists, some agreeable characters and a fair pace. Can't say fairer than that. My score is 7 out of 10.

I simply have to keep it short, thus I hope I won't exceed the 10 lines minimum rule.

Hunting Grounds is a 2 stars movie! 1 because it doesn't get any lower than that and 2 because they made production. Amazingly enough this movie was green lighted by someone and it happened. It appeared on rental and I guess a bunch of people got to see it.

What a shame! What a waste of time. Simply put: awful and beyond. Just stay away from this one. It has nothing to bring. It will amaze you, but this is not The Room bad, this is just so bad.

Cheers!

This movie starts out sorta typical with a Father / Son pair who lost the wife / mother going on a move to the cabin in the woods. Soon brother and family friend show up and tensions start to mount as the group begins a beer fueled hunting trip. Then the movie de-evolves into a series of idiotic plot moments as normal humans just don't make the type of decisions these people make. This is one to avoid. You'll be glad you saved your time for something more useful such as watching paint dry.

After waiting for over a year for this movie to come I finally got to watch it. It's not that good. Bad acting and uninteresting characters. If you want to watch a really good Bigfoot movie I highly suggest watching "Exists". Now that's a Bigfoot movie. "Hunting Grounds" pales in comparison.

I love Bigfoot movies...good ones from Harry and The Henderson's to weak one's like, well, The Hunting Grounds. Just nothing original about it. The story line, the Bigfoot costumes, the acting, just not very good. Is it hard to make anything original when it comes to Bigfoot movie's nowadays? Probably. But at least try. I watched The Hunting Grounds right after watching Primal Rage. Maybe that was the mistake. Although PR basically copied Predator in a lot of ways, I still thought it was an original idea when it came to Bigfoot movies. The costumes weren't bad at all. Save your time and watch PR, Exists, Big Legend, Stomping Ground, and there are some good documentaries on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. There's a lot more Bigfoot movies on Prime to check out. I'm on to the next one.
