Feet of Death

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.

"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.

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.

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'

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.
