I'm definitely not a horror or murder mystery film fan but the opening scenes of this film showed that it was well produced with great camera visuals and lighting. The later cave scenes were similarly well setup with really well thought out locations and the night scenes benefited from perfectly lit woods (not an easy task either). Overall the production quality shows that it was not a cheap indie film.

I found a bit of exposition at the start and occasional dialogue to be a bit flat in parts but the Sheriff character's good and gruff nature seemed to fit well with the story and there were some standout dialogue scenes which made up for any weaker areas. There was some good aspects in the use of influencer video POV to mix things up a bit although jumping back and forth between present day and the influencer selfie videos gets a bit confusing along with the change in static camera views and YouTube style selfies.

As for Bigfoot in a furry costume - well what else would you use in a film..? A real Bigfoot? Of course it's a costume!! Besides Bigfoot is supposed to be a large biped. Not sure what some of the other reviews complained about here but it worked for me.

Overall the film was likeable, attention keeping and watchable and very well shot and set with good visually attractive scenes.

Nice joke. 'Bigfoot killing people sounds like a bad horror movie'

Chris is a vlogger dies while trying to dig up dirt on killings that were attributed to bears, which he believes were actually committed by Bigfoot. The investigation into his death is personal for Jason, a forest ranger whose wife died in a similar manner the previous year. Jason is forced to team up with Ken, a backwoods sheriff whom he doesn't really like, and all signs lead to them to believe the killer is the notorious sasquatch.

At first glance, this resembles the shot-on-cellphone glut of straight-to-streaming crap that's been flooding the market lately. It was made by a tiny cast and crew on a micro-budget, both the dialogue and acting are a little clunky in spots, and worst of all, it starts off seeming like yet another story about a YouTuber (which has become a whole subgenre of bad horror movies in the 2020s, but thankfully, the found-footage aspect here is fairly miniscule).

Beneath the modern conventions, however, it feels more like drive-in fare from the '70s. It's a character piece that's slow and talky, the humor (mostly provided by an older ranger named Al) is intentionally corny, and it sort of subverts expectations. Also, although this is technically a monster movie, the director opted to only show the Bigfoot in fleeting glimpses, which was probably wise.

I was in the right mindset to get invested in the story, and felt rewarded by the final act, which is where the movie really shines. Despite what others have claimed, I thought it was very well shot, edited, and scored. My one major problem was with the pacing, which could have been tightened up a bit.

People looking for a big-budget, thrill-a-minute flick filled with gore and prolific monsters need to look elsewhere for entertainment. But if you can overlook the various shortcomings, this is a solid little b-movie that's a cut above the other garbage that's coming out these days.

Feet of Death is one of those movies that sneaks up on you. Going in, you might think it's just another Bigfoot flick, but it's way more than that. The story kicks off with Jason, a forest ranger who's pretty much hit rock bottom. He's grieving loss, and you can feel his pain as he tries to drown his sorrows in the wilderness he's supposed to protect. Things take a wild turn when a social media influencer dies in a weird way and suddenly there's talk of Bigfoot being on the loose. Once the hunt for Bigfoot gets going, things get tense, and the creepy atmosphere doesn't let up. Some parts drag a little but the buildup is worth it. If you're into a movie with a solid mix of drama and horror, Feet of Death is a ride you won't regret taking.

How does this piece of crap have a rating of 6.4?

Anyone giving this garbage more than 1 star must be cast and crew trying to boost their own meagre investment (as evidenced by the downvotes, lol) because this is beyond terrible. I myself am only giving it one star because I can't give it zero.

If the incredibly dumb title alone doesn't tip you off to not bother with it, the low budget production value .and woeful acting should have you turning it off in less than 10 minutes.

Not one person can act. The dialogue is clunky, the delivery is full of long pauses and a palpable silence wherever they're trying to remember their lines, which is so obvious it shows. They didn't even try to edit out the awkwardness.
