Sasquatch Mountain

I don't see why most reviewers are hating on this flick. It is after all a Bigfoot movie. Could there have been better acting?, sure, but all in all I liked the movie. The movie had very little profanity which is a plus in my book and it wasn't set like a documentary like a lot of the Bigfoot movies are ( which I despise, please, enough with all of the Blair Witch Project wannabes ) and also, it did not leave the viewer wondering about a few things which I am not going to spoil . I found this movie entertaining. So, if you like Bigfoot movies, then you should most certainly watch this one!!!!!

SOME MILD SPOILERS!!! BEWARE!!!!! SOME MILD SPOILERS!!!!!!

I gave this movie a three out of ten. That is only because I am a sucker for really horrible monster movies. However, that being written, this movie was quite terrible. The acting was ridiculous and the character interactions were so random that I had a hard time realizing what was happening a few times. The monster was a very uninspired, run-of-the-mill man in a monkey suit, but at least the monster looked more believable than the sasquatch in the Sasquatch Hunters.

Lets start with the characters. The movie composes of an innocent female, four or five bank robbers, and several law officers. It was kind of fun trying to figure out which group was actually the most stupid. I cannot begin to understand some of the decisions made by the characters. For instance, around midway through the movie, the robbers and cops come across each others' paths. A stand-off ensues, with everyone holding their weapons aimed at one another. Then......BAM!!!! They all just start randomly shooting into the woods, I guess targeting Bigfoot. Then, in the very next scene, the two groups of conflicting interest are running through the woods, determined to fight alongside one another.

Then, as if the acting weren't bad enough, there is no real plot to the movie. It starts off like a really, really, really horrible version of From Dusk Til Dawn, but then ends up with only one sasquatch. The director and producers must have decided it to be a good idea to just through in an assorted batch of people, a farmhouse, and one Bigfoot, and Lance Henrickson, who I believe may have lost all his talent in choosing roles to parts not included in theatrical garbage.

Now, onto the few cool things. The Bigfoot in this movie must really dislike guns because it seems every time someone shoots a gun, Bigfoot is sure to just appear out of nowhere, run up to the attacker, hit them, and then run off. These parts were somewhat surprising and it is kind of cool to see a Bigfoot just run up and mix things up a little. However, you would think a gigantic, 600 lb. ape that smells like "a mixture of skunk and mother's milk" (in the words of Lance Henrickson) would be pretty easy to discern from the background noises in a quiet forest in the middle of nowhere.

This movie was terrificly bad. Three stars is so generous for this Sci-Fi channel, below average (and that's hard to be worse than the average Sci-Fi movie), mental masturbation flick. You might come out of the movie drooling on yourself, trying to remember why you watched this movie in the first place.

Why did I rent this? I wanted a good laugh. This movie kind of did this but the beast was more of a sub-plot.

I liked the first sequence with the camcorder so I thought maybe this film will be somewhat serious. Nope! Though the acting was a bit better than average for a b-movie (maybe it's because I've seen to many Ulli Lommel films). The character development wasn't even that bad. A little rushed but I've seen a lot worst.

I didn't know what the main focus was: The beast was just thrown in there to baffle everyone. It really hurt the film. After a bank robbery, six (maybe it was seven) people try to escape but only hit Cerina Vincent's character with a car. They fight it off with some cops than try to escape in the woods. That's where the beast came in.

This movie obviously wasn't good but it actually had potential. The music was OK but the writing was horrible (what do you expect). This may entertain some of you but it didn't really entertain me. Though there are a lot worst films than this. Watch anything from Ulli Lommel - he's a scam artist!

This film is definitely for those who want to see all the Big Foot/Yeti/Sasquatch films.

Maybe it is also for a Lance Henriksen completest, if there is one. With over 180 appearances, you would have to watch a lot of cable to achieve that status.

Certainly, seeing the Yellow Power Ranger, Cerina Vincent, was a treat. Or, maybe you wanted to see Little Opie's real father, Rance Howard. Let's not forget to mention former Miss Korea, Karen Kim, who was one of the robbers. 뜨거운 흡연!

Sasquatch is played by Tiny Ron, whose 7 ft height has to really limit his roles. I wouldn't imagine he would ever star with Kristin Chenoweth.

It tended to really drag in the second half, and there could have been a lot less talking, and a lot more Sasquatch action.

I am as lenient as it comes with 'B' movies and Straight to Video releases but there always comes a time when I come across a truly bad movie and this is one of them. I cannot even begin to describe all the problems this film has, but I'll give you some of the major ones. From the beginning of the film, the soundtrack is out of sync with the video. At first I thought this might have just been a read error with my DVD player, but after stopping and starting the movie a couple of times, I realized it was in the film. And I don't know about the rest of you, but when the dialog is out of sync with the video it just bothers me a lot! But perhaps this was done on purpose to distract you from the ungodly horrific dialog and acting in the film. I love bad movies, but not this bad. How they got Lance Henriksen (Alien 3, The Quick and the Dead) to appear in this is beyond me. Also, the distinct lack of gore was puzzling since this movie is unrated! I have no idea why it carries no rating since the violence and language is on par with somewhere between a PG-13 and an R rating. And I got all of this after watching only half the film. This movie takes the prize of being the very first film I couldn't even watch through to the end. Please, do yourself a favor and do not watch this movie. As bad as I make it sound, you might even find it worse. About the only good thing I can say about this movie is that Cerina Vincent looks good, after that, it pretty much ends what's good about the film. As for the others that rated this movie highly, all I can figure is that they are related to someone in the film.
