Bigfoot County

All you need to know is this movie SUCKS!! The estimated budget was $600,00? Not only was the acting some of the worst I've seen, it is also annoying. Every other sentence is either got the F-bomb or telling us about how religious people are "crazy". This horrible movie actually made me angry enough to seek out this page and right a review and it's not even half over. DO NOT watch this movie as it is a TOTAL waste of time. GRRR! Is this what Hollywood has become? Horrible actors acting out horrible scripts? Every person associated with this film should be embarrassed that they call this a movie. I bet the word F$#@ is used 1000 times throughout this movie... just horrible...

Even for a Bigfoot movie, this is an extremely stupid movie. (Normally, most Bigfoot movies suck.) What a conplete waste of time. Acting, plot, characters are all ridiculous.

A routine, paint-by-numbers version of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, lacking that film's originality, atmosphere, and genuine sense of uneasiness. THE BIGFOOT TAPES certainly has potential and I really wanted to enjoy it; those Californian forest locations look fantastic and are doubtless atmospheric in themselves. What a shame, then, that what ensues is so listless and predictable.

A trio of documentary film-makers set out into the woods to prove or disprove the legend of Bigfoot once and for all. There's some minor interest at first as they have run-ins with kooky inhabitants (shades of BLAIR WITCH already) and then lots of aimless wandering around. I could cope with the middle section of the film if it actually went somewhere, but it doesn't. Instead we get a tent attack scene that rips off BLAIR WITCH something rotten, before a dodgy twist ending which is unsatisfying to say the least. THE BIGFOOT TAPES is all build up and no pay off, which is nobody's idea of fun...

As soon as I saw the shoddy camera-work on "Bigfoot County", then I knew this was going to suck big time. I loathe these "found footage" movies, especially because I don't pay to watch something that is shot by a teenager with his first DV camera. It is epically lame on so many levels.

The story told in "Bigfoot County" could have been somewhat more interesting and the movie that much more watchable, had they opted to go with proper camera-work and held the cameras steady. But no, that was not to be, and for 82 minutes the audience have to suffer through questionable camera-work and end up with a bad case of SCS (Shaky Cam Syndrome).

A young film enthusiast treks into Bigfoot County in his search for clues about the legendary Bigfoot (Sasquatch, Yeti, Abominable Snowman, or whatever you call him in your respective area). And he drags his friend along with him, and also the friend's girlfriend, deep into the woodlands in search for proof of the legendary creature.

I will say that the three main cast people did good enough jobs with their given roles, but they were just struggling futilely against the whole "found footage" genre.

I managed to suffer through this movie, albeit I was tempted so many times to just turn it off and end my suffering and find something else to watch. So was it worth it? No, not at all. Not unless you count into the equation the hilarious and oh-so-predictable ending to the movie. It was so lame that I ended up in tears from laughing so hard.

"Bigfoot County" is bad with a big B (might be B for Bigfoot, but it ain't, trust me). And if you are looking for 82 minutes of entertainment, you are best of looking somewhere else, far, far away from this movie. I am giving "Bigfoot County" a 2 out of 10 rating. It manages to scrape itself off the floor and not get a 1 for the actual attempt of making a proper movie, and had they opted (as I mentioned above) for proper steady camera-work, the movie would have rated much higher than a 2 out of 10 rating.

The Bigfoot Tapes. Having seen several bad Bigfoot movies lately I picked this up dirt cheap in the hope that it may buck the trend. Well if anything it took things to a new low! Three people go searching for Bigfoot, filming every step (yes, this is yet another found footage movie, Zzzz). They hook up with Bible quoting local Travis but once he vanishes things go seriously bad. Within the first few minutes of the film the "expert" on the subject incorrectly says that the Yeti is European. That gaff didn't bode well. There are obvious shades of Blair Witch here, only that was well done & this isn't. This film is incredibly boring and if it doesn't send you to sleep then the awful camera work will give you a headache. I think it takes skill to make an effective found footage, but this just belongs in the great pile of bad ones. In fact this is one of the worst examples that I've sat through. The only reason that I can see for this being BBFC rated 18 is for a scene of male rape. An abysmal film, don't waste your time or money.
