Travis

Been reading IMDb reviews for years, but this is the First review I've done. No spoilers here, just an opinion. I saw a number of reviews giving praise to this movie, so thought I'd give it a go. Not nearly as good as I thought it would be, or even could be. But it really wasn't a trainwreck either. Not sorry I watched it, I mean The first half hour or so actually had my stomach kinda knotting up with tension, but then...... Interesting take on Bigfoot, but it kinda fell flat, for me anyway.It was done well, but it just seems to have missed the mark of reaching what could have been a very good film. Acting was definitely not A-list grade, pacing was okay,atmosphere was there, tension and fear were absolutely there for the first half-hour. All in all, not a bad trip to take on a Saturday night.

I saw this originally at a festival in 2008 and had been searching for years, I'm so thrilled to have found it on amazon prime albeit under a different title. The Paper Dolls that I remembered was still just as good under the title Black Forest, a refreshing take on the theory of Sasquatch with some really well developed plot twists and red herrings. For a low budget film this should worry Hollywood, thouroghly enjoyed this and highly recommend.

I'll start by saying the only reason I rated it a 2 instead of a 1 is because anytime I see a movie made without any kind of budget I will never rate it a 1 because they are trying regardless. I reserve my 1 ratings for movies that have a big budget and are backed by a studio. Something like the Blair witch project. I don't understand how people like that movie. It is so boring.. but onto this movie. How anyone would ever and I mean EVER give this movie a high rating or say how scared they were are either the dumbest people or people that can't go outside of their room without crapping themselves because their footstep was too loud. The only other reason would be because they are either involved with the film or know someone that was. Just trust me if you enjoy watching movies or even just staring at absolutely nothing, you'd be a million times better off staring at a blank screen for a couple days than trying to get through this movie. You could even hate staring at nothing and still be better off doing so. Ughhhhh I wish I never watched this pile of garbage and I hope that my review can save someone from doing the same.

I did the big mistake and rented this movie after reading some reviews describing this movie as one of the best horror/thriller ever made well it was one of the best trash/waste of time movies that was ever made this movie suffer from a lot like the bad acting / cheesy dialogues i don't even know why it was listed as horror/thriller , if they mean the one shot where some guys dressing as gorillas standing in shadows well it won't scare even my little kitty ,and what about thrill ??? if they mean the plot ? we already saw tens of movies with similar plot nothing new here , no thrill at all . why this movie has high rating , why there is many good reviews about it? i don't know , but i know one thing that this movie was a complete waste of time , avoid it at all costs . Awful .

The film is a psychological thriller that will have you wondering but will be answered IF you watch and listen to the end credits... don't turn it off until the end credits are finished rolling for the final answer to what happened.

The film is has a question mark over it during viewing: Are there really Sasquatch or has Travis just lost his mind and murdered his friends? Not a bad film at all - I did enjoy watching it until the very end. If you like films about the Sasquatch then you might like this one. BTW, please don't upset the professor by calling it Bigfoot. lol ;) 7/10
