On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Legend & The Search

Seth n his crew are hacks...It is Not a Primate... repeat last 5 words...It is clearly more Homanid than ape or monkey...wake up people.

I'm usually a fan of all things Bigfoot, but as hard as I try, I just cannot find much to enjoy with this film. There is something about it that I just find so incredibly boring. It just doesn't hold the interest very well.

I believe there is a better way to prove the physical existence of bigfoot without killing one just to scientifically bring to peoples awareness they exist.

Have you and your team considered a loving, kind and humbling way to befriend their society rather than making an enemy of them?

Afterall, they do have families just as we do. Ask yourself, "Would I want Bigfoot to kill me just to prove to their society that I exist?"

This is very important because killing Bigfoot is like killing your own brother. Would you want to live with that in your thought network for the rest of your life?

I know, because I have met Bigfoot and they are callously intelligent. I even wrote a majestic poem in honor of the Bigfoot I met years earlier.

I give a level 2 rating because I disagree with kiling Bigfoot when we can learn to hug him and peacefully co-live.

Be free to reply if you so wish.

This is another documentary that I decided to check out while working. I treat these like podcasts where I listen and if something is particularly interesting, I'll watch them. Ahead of seeing this one, I've seen later parts when they were sent to me as screeners. Since I enjoy what director Seth Breedlove does along with his production team, Small Town Monsters, I'm filling in the gaps.

When I saw one of this team's later docs on Bigfoot, this is what I was expecting. Breedlove is from a small town in Northeast Ohio. It seems like he might have had an encounter with this cryptid or just something that he cannot explain. That's where it starts, talking about what he experienced along with others from the area. This then delves into the history of Bigfoot from around the country. We learn about the Pacific Northwest, the events in Boogey Creek of Arkansas/Texas, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Florida. I do like how they point out the similarities and differences, also possible logical explanations for what people are seeing.

Something interesting here is that Breedlove does well in stating that he likes to just gather information and present the facts. This is the first time in the early ones where he takes part. He still is staying neutral, only stating what he's directly experienced. I do appreciate maintaining that objectivity. This allows us to take in the facts and make our own determination. Like for me, I can't refute anything that people are saying. I also don't fully believe that everyone interviewed experienced what they claim. There is probably another explanation.

Small Town Monsters does well in making interesting documentaries. They're professional looking. Present good information. I do like incorporating CGI renditions of what people are saying so that it doesn't get boring. Doing drones or overhead shots of places we're seeing also helps show how vast these places are. This is a fast watch and gives good background information to one of the most popular cryptids out there. I'd recommend it if you're interested in learning more.

My Rating: 6.5 out of 10.

This is done from a historical perspective through legitimate news sources and eyewitness accounts. It does assume Bigfoot is fact or fiction, or even argues for one or the other. The director takes you to places where encounters have occurred and talks to journalists and others who are involved in the Bigfoot community. It's fascinating and it explores both history and theory without a bias, but also without being flamboyant or critical. I really enjoyed it
