Bigfoot

This was the worst movie I've ever seen...but it was so bad I had to 2atch the whole thing

When mutilated deer are repeatedly discovered with their kidneys removed in Mentor, Ohio, the rumor increases that it's due to a Sasquatch creature in the area.

Made in 2005, the creatively titled "Bigfoot" isn't a 'B' movie, as some have called it; it's a 'C' movie being that it's a spare-change Indie that only cost $40,000. But it's pretty good for what it is. As long as you can appreciate micro-budget affairs, it delivers; except for the showdown with the creature at the climax, which has some problems. Director/writer Bob Gray also co-stars as likable Sheriff Bob. He knows how to do drama and gore, but action is not his forte.

Other than that, I felt like I knew the main characters and cared about them and their relationships. While obviously not professional actors, the cast is quite serviceable. The creature looks formidable and is decidedly malevolent; not to mention the gore is well done. There's even a quality brunette respectfully spotlighted in the parade scene.

The film runs 1 hour, 23 minutes; and was shot in Mentor & Grand River, Ohio.

GRADE: C+/B- (keeping in mind that it's a mircro-budget flick)

I have to start by saying i usually don't like "b" movies ... there are a few, like the original "deathrace 2000"...check it out if you haven't...

This movie Bigfoot , is ...well it has a certain charm that i am having a hard time explaining .... It is a good movie , it's not an epic ... just a well written, well told campfire story ,

You get to see the monster right away and in detail . The detail is good . believable special effects.

The characters are just what I would expect in this type of movie . The acting , while at times, seems "cardboard", even that comes off as almost deliberate , as with the "b" movie genre..., left me wondering .

All in all , i have seen MANY worse films , and could probably watch this one again..... earning it a "re-watcher" stamp. and a 5 out of 10 rating.

Not the best but not the worst. I've seen movies that are far worse than this and it's good in the beginning. However, the ending is lame. It loses all of its efforts at the very end. The special effects are not bad and there are some funny moments. But its not one where you can get into the characters or feel for them.

The bully in the.film reminds me of NJ governor Chris Christie and they could of done more to show how a small town and limited law enforcement can run into problems with something beyond the normal. That something dangerous and fast besides deadly. You don't fight on your own.

Besides getting knocked around you should dead by this beast! Even your neck snapped. So don't expect anything but a far fetch attempt. But of you're board and have nothing better to do. It has a entertainment value.

Also, a 101 on how not to blow an ending and how to depict towns folk who hunt as morons. If anything the way this was done. They should of killed themselves before they got this far in life.

Last thing, this also shows the ignorance of how a military vet is depicted. No research and thought put into the character or the folks. enough. Just kept it simple and in that way it was a fast pace film.

But if you want something better see the prophecy where mercury is in the water and mutates a bear. That was better than this. Also, gives it a scary and more eerie take on how this could of gone, if followed In that kind of format.

Just saying, just my 2 cents worth that's all & I wish you all the best.

This is not a good movie, although by low budget monster movie standards I would say it is far from the worst. The plot and the dialogue are no worse than average for such movies. One thing I liked was this: Usually in monster movies set in a small town, a significant percentage of the population are ignorant blockheads continually running off halfcocked and doing stupid, and usually trigger-happy, things. This movie had a few of those, but most of the major characters were actually decent, reasonable people. That was a pleasant enough change that in spite of the two star rating, I'm actually not sorry I watched this.
