Man vs Bigfoot

I generally watch low budget movies because they make me laugh at how terrible they are. When I searched Bigfoot movies that's exactly what I was looking for. Surprisingly I thought the acting, costume, and especially camerawork were pretty good.

Obviously you can't compare independent films to blockbusters, so keep that in mind. It was actually quite refreshing to watch a film with actors that really seemed like they lived normal lives versus actors in a Hollywood movie who obviously enjoy a different lifestyle to most people. I thought the therapy session near the beginning was particularly solid and believable.

I can't say the plot was anything special, but it was clear and I wasn't bored. Also beautiful shots of the forrest given the budget the movie was filmed on. Nice job. I was pleasantly surprised.

Here's the story:

1. A seriously out of shape man leaves the all-you-can-eat buffet and hikes ten miles out into the wilderness.

2. Shockingly, he experiences crystal clear cell phone reception when calling his wife.

3. Something involving Bigfoot.

4. Or not. The acting is unclear.

5. The End.

Can I give this something other than stars?

As a fan of bigfoot movies, I can honestly say this one wasn't bad. The acting was OK, and the camera work good. Screeplay was simple and the premise believable. They covered all the bases to make it believable - satellite phone, decent emergency first aid, primitive weapon making and trap construction. The way things ended up was a nice twist. The only thing inconsistent with character was that an experienced outdoorsman (especially ex Army ranger) would never stick his knife or his axe in the ground after using it.

This movie was created on a shoe string budget only if your shoes are velcro..We made this with funds from friends, family and out of our own pockets. I am the AD and SFX artist among 20 other jobs on set.

A good story and plot make this a good family friendly film with a good bit of excitement. The practical fx have been well reviewed and worth a look. The acting is above average and a stellar performance by David Ford makes the film.

If you watch it expecting a 30 million dollar budget blockbuster you will not be happy but if you watch it expecting to see a good film made on a micro budget by decent people giving honest decent acting and technical support you will love it.

This movie has great action plus an awesome twist at the end! Nice acting 😎 If you believe in the elusive creature, you have to check this movie out!!!
