Hoax

The movie started off as your typical "made for TV" movie where careers go to die. And that's fine. We see a billion of them, some are okay, others are just garbage fires. This one was shaping up to be an average monster slasher in the woods type. Some shaky cam, but mostly regular movie shots. And it was okay. Nothing great, but okay.

And then they added something that came out of nowhere and made absolutely no sense, and just completely derailed everything. Honestly, up until that end part of the movie, it was passable time wasting. But then it just got terrible and nonsensical. And then AFTER that, we got an ending that actually fit. So that last section just had absolutely no place in the film.

It's a shame. Definitely not worth watching. Completely ruined by a pointless addition.

This movie started off really well and moves along at a nice pace but the ending really lets it down, could have been so much better. decent performances from some of the actors and the nice premise. for me the ending let it down, felt like they couldnt come up with a good idea. worth a watch but dont expect to much

In this day and age to make such a bad movie. It's ridiculous right from the get go...i.e. the reporter is going bush and she's wearing a white dress, high heels and hand bag. This movie is utter garbage with really bad acting.

The couple rave reviews are obviously fake, but the movie is not complete garbage or unwatchable by any means.

The acting is about average but adequate. The cinematography and sound design, while not great, are serviceable and do nothing to add or detract from the experience. The gory practical effects are actually decent, but the bigfoot itself (which is rarely seen) is pretty shotty.

The characters are blatantly stereotypical with the corporate shill, self centered journalist, ex-marine badass, the smoking hippie, and the good-natured scientist who's only there for the much needed money.

The story itself starts out very cliche, kind of like 'Anaconda' but with a bigfoot. The first three quarters of the film feels very much like this, but the story takes a strange turn at that point and it becomes something different entirely. I give them props for trying something a little different here, but doesn't quite feel like it's part of the same movie and very out of place.

Overall, it is watchable but kind of loses itself at the end. It's not going to win any awards and is fairly forgettable, but if you want to turn your mind off for a little bit, you could definitely do much worse. 4.5/10

The cast and description caught my eye so I gave it a try, The cinematography is good, I don't blame the actors. The film doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. The film references a lot of other much better movies. the characters are flat stereotypes and not even good at that, I've seen some of these actors in other things and they are fine, so I can only assume it's on the weight of the director. The dialogue is atrocious. Characters' motivations are not established other than the HotScientist trope character. Side plots are brought up but never really done. Yes, this movie might be right up someone's alley. Personally It was a waste of my time and effort. It needed a re-write and a better director for the actors. Looking him up it seems he's done a lot of second unit work, and it feels like that. most of the scenery is shot wonderfully.
