Hoax

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

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 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.

I didn't expect much doing into this. It kind of looked like your typical Sy-Fy channel quality movie with a Blair Witch movie meets Bigfoot type of storyline. It went pretty much as as expected for about 3/4 of the film. Crew reaches location, crew starts exploring, weird things start happening and then people start getting killed one by one.

Then we reached the last 1/4 of the movie and thing really kind of went off rail for me. I won't spoil it but really there was no real conclusion. Things just kind of changed, and not for the better.

Acting wasn't great but not terrible. Effects are ok. Basically this is a film that you'll forget about by the next day.

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
