Feet of Death

I'm definitely not a horror or murder mystery film fan but the opening scenes of this film showed that it was well produced with great camera visuals and lighting. The later cave scenes were similarly well setup with really well thought out locations and the night scenes benefited from perfectly lit woods (not an easy task either). Overall the production quality shows that it was not a cheap indie film.

I found a bit of exposition at the start and occasional dialogue to be a bit flat in parts but the Sheriff character's good and gruff nature seemed to fit well with the story and there were some standout dialogue scenes which made up for any weaker areas. There was some good aspects in the use of influencer video POV to mix things up a bit although jumping back and forth between present day and the influencer selfie videos gets a bit confusing along with the change in static camera views and YouTube style selfies.

As for Bigfoot in a furry costume - well what else would you use in a film..? A real Bigfoot? Of course it's a costume!! Besides Bigfoot is supposed to be a large biped. Not sure what some of the other reviews complained about here but it worked for me.

Overall the film was likeable, attention keeping and watchable and very well shot and set with good visually attractive scenes.

Nice joke. 'Bigfoot killing people sounds like a bad horror movie'

Honestly, the title didn't give me much hope but it's a movie about Bigfoot, so I decided to give it a try. A forrest ranger, who recently lost his wife, is teaming up with a local sheriff investigating the death of a popular blogger. The blogger was investigating a recent string of deaths and disappearances, mostly blamed on local wildlife but he suspects something else is in play.

In the end, I was pleasantly surprised. The story is well written, the atmosphere and acting is solid and the characters are well thought of. Some aspects are somewhat predictable but that didn't spoil the fun. A fresh breath in an area which is usually filled with sub par (Indië) productions.

How does this piece of crap have a rating of 6.4?

Anyone giving this garbage more than 1 star must be cast and crew trying to boost their own meagre investment (as evidenced by the downvotes, lol) because this is beyond terrible. I myself am only giving it one star because I can't give it zero.

If the incredibly dumb title alone doesn't tip you off to not bother with it, the low budget production value .and woeful acting should have you turning it off in less than 10 minutes.

Not one person can act. The dialogue is clunky, the delivery is full of long pauses and a palpable silence wherever they're trying to remember their lines, which is so obvious it shows. They didn't even try to edit out the awkwardness.

Feet of Death is one of those movies that sneaks up on you. Going in, you might think it's just another Bigfoot flick, but it's way more than that. The story kicks off with Jason, a forest ranger who's pretty much hit rock bottom. He's grieving loss, and you can feel his pain as he tries to drown his sorrows in the wilderness he's supposed to protect. Things take a wild turn when a social media influencer dies in a weird way and suddenly there's talk of Bigfoot being on the loose. Once the hunt for Bigfoot gets going, things get tense, and the creepy atmosphere doesn't let up. Some parts drag a little but the buildup is worth it. If you're into a movie with a solid mix of drama and horror, Feet of Death is a ride you won't regret taking.

"Feet of Death" begins with a chilling discovery: a woman stumbles upon the body of a man in the forest, mauled beyond recognition. At first glance, it looks like the work of a wild animal, but as the story unravels, we're pulled into something far more mysterious-and sinister.

Set in the haunting wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, this film blends cryptozoology and murder mystery to create a slow-burn thriller. The victim, a YouTuber obsessed with proving the existence of Bigfoot, had been investigating a series of bear attacks in the area, convinced they were the work of something much larger and deadlier. His death sets off a tense investigation led by a forest ranger named Jason, who is grieving the loss of his own wife under similar circumstances. Jason teams up with a local sheriff he doesn't quite trust, and together, they delve deeper into the woods to uncover the truth.

Director James Chick delivers a suspenseful atmosphere where the forest itself feels like a lurking threat, with cinematography that captures the beauty and terror of nature's untamed power. The film's pacing may feel slow at times, but it masterfully builds tension, keeping viewers guessing whether the culprit is an unhinged human or the elusive Sasquatch. While the movie doesn't bombard you with constant jump scares, the creeping dread is ever-present, leading to a final act that delivers in unexpected ways.

The creature itself is wisely kept in the shadows for most of the film, which adds to the suspense and allows your imagination to run wild. And when we do catch glimpses, it's clear that the practical effects team put effort into crafting a Bigfoot that feels grounded, yet otherworldly-part ape, part myth. The film embraces its low-budget origins but rises above the usual fare with strong performances and a focus on character dynamics. The tension between Jason and the sheriff, and the personal stakes involved, give the story depth beyond the typical monster movie.

In my opinion, "Feet of Death" manages to stand out from the flood of cryptid horror films out there. It's an atmospheric, character-driven piece that rewards patience with a satisfying payoff. For fans of Bigfoot lore and slow-burning mysteries, this film is a refreshing addition to the genre. And honestly, we were long overdue for a solid Bigfoot movie like this.
