I had the opportunity to sit down and watch the 2024 horror movie "Feet of Death", and of course did so since I hadn't already seen the movie. I had never actually heard about it. But I have to say that the movie's title just wasn't great.

The storyline in the movie was bland and forgettable. I wasn't particularly entertained throughout the course of the 106 prolonged minutes that the movie ran for. Writers Ashley Chick, James Chick and Ryan Stahl just failed to conjure up an overly interesting, much less actually entertaining, script and storyline for director James Chick to bring to the screen.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but the acting performances were fair, though nothing outstanding really.

Visually then you're not in for anything grand. "Feet of Death" was a low-key special effects movie. Not that I think an abundance of great special effects would have mattered much, because the movie was lacking in the story department.

While I did manage to sit through the entire movie, I wasn't particularly entertained. And I can honestly say that I am not returning to watch "Feet of Death" a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would warmly recommend for horror genre fans to rush out and get to watch.

My rating of director James Chick's 2024 movie "Feet of Death" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

At least they came up with the most stupid title for a movie ever.

But that's about it.

The rest is what you'd expect from a movie with such a stupid title.

Apparently filmed on an old iphone some doofus characters wander amilessly through the woods searching for Bigfoot.

That is when they don't just sit around somewhere talking about some nonsensical and boring stuff.

Needless to say the "actors" (if you can even call them that) are really bad only to be outdone but a ridiculous "script" and lousy directing.

It all looks like some totally stoned dudes wandered around the woods and said "Let's just shoot some stupid movie on our old iphones, anyone got an idea?" "Well, uh, I dunno, but has anyone ever heard about that Bigfoot dude?" "Never heard about that one, dude. Let's just shoot a movie about it and put it on my youtube channel. I need some more suscribers." "Uh, dude, you already have 8, what do you need more for?"

Needless to say, even in the category of "Brainless amateurs trying to film a movie" - "Feet of Death" is a new low.

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.

What do you do when you have a vanity project in mind but it's too lacklustre for YouTube and too long for TikTok? You convene your family and closest friends and slap it together anyway, using the aforementioned family and friends to pump your IMDb ratings and reviews sky-high in an effort to suck the unsuspecting into a viewing.

The fact that most people (including most of your nearest and dearest) would've abandoned the viewing within minutes means nothing to you, as long as you can say "look at all them views!"

There aren't enough drugs in the world to make this even a tolerable, let alone passable, "movie." Anyone who hasn't undergone a double lobotomy would be well advised to simply laugh this one off and avoid viewing at all costs.

Feet of Death is a refreshing entry into the realm of horror, blending folklore with contemporary storytelling in a way that feels both thrilling and relevant. From the moment the film begins, it captivates with its intriguing premise centered around the iconic figure of Bigfoot, a subject that has long fascinated audiences.

The screenplay is sharp and engaging, filled with unexpected twists that keep you guessing. The film's unique approach-focusing on a social media influencer who becomes embroiled in a series of mysterious murders in the forest-brilliantly marries modern technology with classic horror elements. This fusion not only makes the narrative relatable but also enhances the tension as the influencer seeks to unravel the truth behind the disappearances.

Visually, Feet of Death is stunning. The set design captures the haunting beauty of the forest, creating an immersive atmosphere that perfectly complements the film's eerie undertones. Each scene is meticulously crafted, drawing viewers deeper into the unsettling world where legend and reality collide.

What truly elevates the film, however, is its character-driven plot. The well-developed characters are relatable and complex, each with their own motives and backstories. As their lives intertwine, the audience is pulled into their struggles, making the stakes feel all the more real. This blend of drama and horror is masterfully executed, ensuring that viewers are not just spectators but emotionally invested in the outcome.

Overall, Feet of Death is a standout horror film that offers a fresh perspective on the Bigfoot legend. With its clever writing, strong performances, and striking visuals, it's sure to satisfy fans of the genre while also appealing to those who appreciate a good mystery. Prepare for a wild ride that will leave you pondering the boundaries between myth and reality long after the credits roll.

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.

Honestly, the title didn't give me much hope but it's a movie about Bigfoot, so I decided to give it a try. A forrest ranger, who recently lost his wife, is teaming up with a local sheriff investigating the death of a popular blogger. The blogger was investigating a recent string of deaths and disappearances, mostly blamed on local wildlife but he suspects something else is in play.

In the end, I was pleasantly surprised. The story is well written, the atmosphere and acting is solid and the characters are well thought of. Some aspects are somewhat predictable but that didn't spoil the fun. A fresh breath in an area which is usually filled with sub par (Indië) productions.

"Feet of Death" begins with a chilling discovery: a woman stumbles upon the body of a man in the forest, mauled beyond recognition. At first glance, it looks like the work of a wild animal, but as the story unravels, we're pulled into something far more mysterious-and sinister.

Set in the haunting wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, this film blends cryptozoology and murder mystery to create a slow-burn thriller. The victim, a YouTuber obsessed with proving the existence of Bigfoot, had been investigating a series of bear attacks in the area, convinced they were the work of something much larger and deadlier. His death sets off a tense investigation led by a forest ranger named Jason, who is grieving the loss of his own wife under similar circumstances. Jason teams up with a local sheriff he doesn't quite trust, and together, they delve deeper into the woods to uncover the truth.

Director James Chick delivers a suspenseful atmosphere where the forest itself feels like a lurking threat, with cinematography that captures the beauty and terror of nature's untamed power. The film's pacing may feel slow at times, but it masterfully builds tension, keeping viewers guessing whether the culprit is an unhinged human or the elusive Sasquatch. While the movie doesn't bombard you with constant jump scares, the creeping dread is ever-present, leading to a final act that delivers in unexpected ways.

The creature itself is wisely kept in the shadows for most of the film, which adds to the suspense and allows your imagination to run wild. And when we do catch glimpses, it's clear that the practical effects team put effort into crafting a Bigfoot that feels grounded, yet otherworldly-part ape, part myth. The film embraces its low-budget origins but rises above the usual fare with strong performances and a focus on character dynamics. The tension between Jason and the sheriff, and the personal stakes involved, give the story depth beyond the typical monster movie.

In my opinion, "Feet of Death" manages to stand out from the flood of cryptid horror films out there. It's an atmospheric, character-driven piece that rewards patience with a satisfying payoff. For fans of Bigfoot lore and slow-burning mysteries, this film is a refreshing addition to the genre. And honestly, we were long overdue for a solid Bigfoot movie like this.

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'

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.

"Feet of Death" is another entry in the cryptid/horror Big Foot franchise that entertains via its characters, suspenseful setting, and effective sound design. Set in the picturesque woods of the Pacific Northwest, the movie takes its time developing. Actor Andrew Brown plays a park ranger who teams up with the local Sheriff (Jack Vanover) to investigate the mysterious death of a Bigfoot YouTuber in the woods. Was it an ex-girlfriend? A rabid bear? Or something more sinister? The unfolding investigation leads to the unsettling conclusion that all is not what it seems out here in the woods. Fans of atmospheric horror and cryptid tales will appreciate this.

I have watched so many Bigfoot movies over the years and usually they fall flat most of the time. What stands out about this film first off is the beautiful look to it. It looks great! If has as a look well beyond it's budget and never felt cheap at all. The sound was also clean and easy to understand,,,that already puts it ahead in the category. The bigfoot never felt like it couldn't rip off your face at anytime, but you still feel for the creature. I am very excited to see that lies next for this director. He is very talented and well on his way to being a well known director and can't wait to see what he does next!

Feet of Death offers an intriguing twist on the Bigfoot legend, blending cryptozoology with a classic murder mystery. The film opens with the mysterious death of a YouTube channel host obsessed with finding Bigfoot in the dense woods of the Pacific Northwest. Set against the eerie, isolated backdrop of Mt. Saint Helens, the atmosphere immediately pulls you into the tension and uncertainty surrounding his demise.

At its heart, Feet of Death is a slow-burn "whodunit," keeping viewers guessing as a local forest ranger and a detective-both at odds with one another-are forced to team up to uncover the truth. Was the host's death a simple case of a bear attack, or is there something far more sinister lurking in the woods? The gradual build-up of suspense leads to a riveting finale that echoes John Carpenter's The Thing, evoking themes of primal violence, survival, and the ultimate triumph of nature's raw, untamed power.

The performances, particularly of the investigators, bring a grounded, almost gritty realism to the film as they unravel the mystery. The rugged landscapes and moody cinematography add to the tension, transforming the forest into a character in itself-at once beautiful and terrifying. While Feet of Death takes its time developing, the payoff in the final act makes the journey worth it, especially for fans of atmospheric horror and cryptid tales.

In the end, this film reminds us that sometimes, the scariest things aren't what we expect-they're the untamed forces that exist just beyond the edges of civilization. If you enjoy slow-burning suspense with a touch of supernatural speculation, Feet of Death will leave you with a satisfying sense of dread.

As a connoisseur of independent films, I have watched more than my fair share of Indy horror, films, and rarely do they come close to the overall quality of "Feet of Death". I'm not sure the title really jives with the actual subject matter, but that's just me being nitpicky. Overall, the acting and writing were good, and the two leads were excellent. Then there is the cinematography. It was verdant, lush, and lustrous, with certain shots reminding me of the forests filmed for one of my favorite films, "The Last of the Mohicans" ... the Pacific Northwest environment actually turned into one of the film's main characters, which as a viewer, I appreciated. The directing was also solid, which definitely benefits a story like this one. For anyone out there who likes a top-to-bottom well-madehorror film, "Feet of Death" is a great pick for movie night!

It's rare to see a genre indie movie, let alone a Bigfoot-themed genre indie movie, take as much care with characterisation as writer/director James Chick shows here. We're dealing with a slow burn as a result, which might alienate some thrill-seekers only interested in the potential for cryptid mayhem but certainly pays off in the latter stages of the movie, as we're actually watching rounded characters rather than a body-count-to-be.

The cinematography is rather lovely, showing off the locations to great effect and providing an engaging look to the flick; rich and sumptuous forest photography in the daylight scenes, wonderfully spooky and atmospheric once night inevitably falls. Performances are strong and engaging. A touch more "show-don't-tell" might increase the appeal to Friday night viewers but there's a great deal to enjoy here, from the influencer-focused opening to the knock 'em down, drag 'em out action of the finale.

Feet of Death, written by James Chick and Ashley Chick, and directed by James Chick, is a really intriguing movie! The film is a mix of paranormal mystery, murder investigation, and psychological thriller with fantasy elements. I appreciate that the story is a new twist on the myth of Bigfoot! The fact that the murder victims include social media influencers brings the myth into modern times and makes the story feel current. Since the movie is set in small town Washington state, the cinematography is breathtaking throughout, especially the shots of the nature scenery. The costumes and special effects are also strong! The cast keeps the story engaging as well. I recommend this to anyone who like mystery and fantasy, and fans of Bigfoot!

Feet of Death is one of those films that catches you by surprise. It is well written and acted. It is about the iconic figure- Big Foot. This is definitely for those that are transfixed with the mystery that is Big Foot but this story has a twist you don't see coming.

The set design was beautiful and this story is told with modern elements in which one of the main missing persons is a social media influencer looking to solve the the murders happening in the forest.

There is also a character driven plot that had me intrigued in wanting to know how their story turns out giving the film a solid mix of both drama and horror.

Who's leaving bodies in the forest including that of a Bigfoot investigator YouTuber? A forest ranger investigates the case and it leads to meeting interesting suspicious characters and a few twists in the story. Director James Chick keeps the story focused on the mystery with a script that offers surprises and also a good amount to humor. As the lead investigator, Andrew Jacob Brown keeps the right balance between searching for the truth with his own suspicions in check while also dealing with personal grief in his own life. The cinematography is strong, showing the thick forests of the Pacific Northwest in their beauty and mystery. The landscape almost feels like a character itself in this movie, with something potentially behind every tree making people disappear. The thrills are more towards the end but this is a worthy addition to Bigfoot lore and cinema.

Directed by James Chick, this film kicks off with social media influencer Chris investigating murders at Mount St. Helens before ending up dead himself. Enter Jason, a grieving USFS ranger, who must confront the possibility of Bigfoot's existence while grappling with his own loss. Chick blends modern vlog style with traditional cinematic flair, creating an engaging who-done-it with a monster thriller twist. The film's practical Bigfoot is a standout, combining simian and apelike traits for a unique take. Despite a modest budget, Chick's experience shines, delivering a film that's both entertaining and intriguingly different.

Feet of Death is a really solid Bigfoot horror movie. After a social media influencer is found dead, a ranger investigates the mysterious death. The story slowly unfolds with twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I think the thing that impressed me the most about this film was the cinematography and the epic outdoor filming locations. The landscape is beautiful, and you can tell that a lot of work went into producing this movie. The actors did a solid job and I was especially impressed with the fight scenes. If you're looking for a great Bigfoot horror film, stop searching and check the is one out.

This was a great Bigfoot thriller. I loved the cast and the acting was great. For an indie, I was quite impressed. It has a really good detective mystery vibe to it that keeps you wondering who the real bad guys are.

I'm from the pacific northwest, so I love the setting of it on Mount Saint Helens. The cave scenes were great, I think bigfoot fans are going to be happy with this one.

I normally don't care for horror movies, but this one didn't have the gore, and I really love mysteries with suspense, and this film did that. And pretty well.

I also thought the pacing was great, a nice build up to a finale.

Jason (Andrew Jacob Brown) is a burnt out forest ranger recovering from a personal tragedy and slowly drinking himelf into an early grave.

He oversees the vast forest of Mount Helen in Americas pacific north west where eleven people have died under mysterious circumstances over the past five years. Everyone has a theory- Mountain Lions-Bears or even the supernatural but nobody can provide any evidence of any of the above.

When obnoxious conspiracy theorist and influencer Chris (Eric Berger) winds up dead in the forest rumors of bigfoot are circulating and needs to step outside his grief and take charge and uncover the truth before anyone else dies.

Writer and director James Chick has a knack for picking good character actors each one owning their roles from minor players to major leads. I especially liked the dysfunctional odd couple dynamic between Jason and local sherrif Ken (Jack Vanover) two men who dont like each other but know they must put their differences aside for the greater good.

The film skilfully jumps back and fourth between the past and present.

It also makes good use of the rugged forest terrain almost to the point where the wildnerness is a character within itself. The films almost entirely electronic score the perfect soundtrack to the building suspense in the climatic third act.

Without giving it away the films nihilistic ending reminded me of John Carpenters "The Thing" Definitely more then worth the hour and fourty six running time.

A well shot, well acted indie monster flick. Be prepared for something different than your usual Bigfoot movie. The kills and gore that are there are well executed, but don't expect a gore fest.

The lead actor, Andrew Brown, does a great job at bringing a grounded reality to the film, while also adding in bits of humor. Jack Vanover might be one of the most believable sheriff's I have seen in an a film of this size. Benjamin Watts was a perfect blend of enthusiastic believer and good old country boy. But I will say the clerk at the country store stole the show for me. She was hilarious.

The film had some beautiful wide drone shots of Mt Saint Helens and the PNW. Whether you like the film or not you can't deny it was shot in a beautiful location.

All in all, I would say it's one of the better Bigfoot films of late.
