This is the worst movie I have seen since another Big Foot catastrophe "Curse of Bigfoot." The acting is terrible even for camp. I don't want to bury anybody but Danielle Donahue as Renee was the best of a bad lot only because she is skinny. As for director Mark Polonia, I hope his other movies are better then Bigfoot vs Zombies because this one is an embarrassment.

Bigfoot Vs. Zombies (2016)
** (out of 4)
Scientists working on a body farm and curious why a few of their "examples" have disappeared. At first they think it's a bear or something but soon they realize that the chemical injected into the bodies are making them return to life. All is okay though because Bigfoot comes out of the woods to help destroy the zombies.
Look, if you're watching a no budget film called BIGFOOT VS. ZOMBIES then you should know what you're getting yourself into. If you're expecting some sort of high art then I'd recommend you go watch CITIZEN KANE if you haven't already. If you've seen that then perhaps Bergman's SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE will suit you. If you're a fan of low-budget non-sense that isn't meant to be taken serious then you might get a few laughs out of this film.
Again, this film wasn't made to be some sort of Oscar-winning classic. I must admit that I enjoyed the film for what it was. When I say there was no budget here it's the truth because the zombies aren't even done with make-up. Instead the zombies are simply actors in Halloween masks and there's no attempt to make them look real. The Bigfoot costume is something they obviously got at a Halloween store and it too looks 100% fake but I'd take this over those horrid CGI Bigfoots that we've seen on several SyFy movies.
The performances are pretty much what you'd expect but I must say that they at least made the characters mildly amusing. Director Mark Polonia thankfully did what he could with his budget and he wasn't trying to pretend that he had money that he didn't really have. I hate low-budget movies that try to accomplish something more than what they can deliver and it usually leads to something lacking. BIGFOOT VS. ZOMBIES had very little money but at least they delivered something mildly entertaining and goofy fun.

Definitely lacking the charm and charisma that made Sharkenstein a instant cult classic. Love the familiar faces he casts though. I expect he has some huge Poloniaverse going on and all his movies are linked..

I love schlocky horror movies, but this "film" looks and feels like a fifth grade play. The actors are all terrible. The production value is the worst that I have ever seen. But worst of all, the make up and "special effects" can all be bought at the local Halloween store every October. It is incredibly hard to watch. The Bigfoot Is a super bad costume that they did not even try to fix or make believable. The zombies are masks that are even worse than the Bigfoot! I don't even know how that is possible, but they did it! Like I said the the summary, they really didn't even try to make a professional film. Every thing about it is bad. Please save yourself and don't watch it.

As someone who usually has some kinda show playing in the background while I work, do chores, etc, this show isn't horrible to put on. Is it a show I would actually sit on the sofa and give my undivided attention to? Eh, probably not. But the zombies were interesting. The make-up and masks, while corny, weren't cringey. The storyline is interesting; I honestly forgot Bigfoot was supposed to be in the film, because it focused more on the zombies. Now the acting for the actual living breathing human beings kinda sucked, I'll admit. Overall, I enjoyed it, granted I semi-watched it while doing my finances and some household chores.

Movie is garbage, but I must admit I was blown away by Mr. James Carolus' performance as "Stoner Stu". It is a master class. For my money, it is the most brilliantly realized pothead character since McConaughey in Dazed and Confused. It's real, it's gritty, it's hysterical, it's genius. The lack of recognition for his performance is borderline criminal.
Rest of movie is meh, especially the editing and costuming. It seems that Mark Polonia has singlehandedly kept Spirit Halloween in business for many years now.

OMG you have to be kidding me!!!!!!!!!!
So is this HAS to be a school project, right??
Seems there is close to ZERO budget, and has the same people (can't call them actors) from the other horrible movies these guys make.
I mean, the zombies are wearing typical Halloween costume masks you can get from Walmart!!!!!!
And OMG again... that Bigfoot costume!!!! And Bigfoot is about the same height as the other actors... he clearly is NO Bigfoot... more like SMALLFOOT!!!
If you wanna sit there and laugh at how HORRIBLE a movie can be, this is a good choice.... DO NOT pay to rent this.... find it online for FREE... you will thank me later.

Another Polonia film that fails to make it. Amateurish make up and oh lord the bigfoot costume! The film does have a plot. The best performance by far was the white flatbed truck that moved effortlessly over the fields. Nudity would have helped. Seriously, several large, exposed breasts and maybe some butt shots could turn this into a three star. I will continue going through the Polonia cinema library (On second thought lets call it a movie library for this is not cinema) in search of some sort of explanation on how these movies get financed. Could this be a plot by a foreign enemy to bring down the Western culture? As for the winner in the contest of Bigfoot vs. The Zombies? YOU have to watch it to find out.

This may be the best Polonia movie I've watched so far. It had a solid script and a great performance by Ken Vansant. He was born to play the role of Duke Larsen, the cool as hell tracker/hunter who doesn't give an F about anything but winning life and a getting a good old fashion fur burger. The zombie makeup was better than expected although the one zombie (the old fat bald guy) couldn't seem to keep his tongue in his mouth. Those were the good parts about the film. The bad parts...... how bout not putting the eye candy (D Donahue) in a lab coat the entire film? Especially when that lab coat could have been used to cover Jeff Kirkendall's talentless face. And why does Donahue always end up with some nerd? It just doesn't make sense. Especially when you have the ageless Ken Vansant showing off his guns the entire film.
Overall this was a solid watch with the best cinematography I've seen since The Revenant. If it's got Ken Vansant and Dani Donahue sign me up to sail on that ship any day.... even if the anchor (Jerkendall) is trying to drag it to the bottom of the ocean the entire time.

Movie sucks. Terrible make-up. Terrible acting. Everything terrible.walling dead better in every aspect. Comedy don't belong in a horror movie. And you should not make another movie. You are terrible at it.take lessons from this Robert kirkman. I can even do better at making movies then you could ever do. I just wasted all that time watching this stupid movie. Worse movie I have ever seen in my entire 45 years. I don't see how anyone would allow this dumb movie be on TV. It wasted air time for real good movies. Makes me sick to even have this movie on my TV. Never again will it be on my TV again.

Granted, I harbored absolutely no expectations to this movie when I sat down to watch it here in 2024. I mean, a title like "Bigfoot vs. Zombies" just screams low budget movie to high Heaven. Still, I opted to watch it on account of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen.
However, had I known that this was a Mark Polonia movie, I would have given it a wide berth, as I am by no means a fan of the low budget homemade movies he churns out by the dozens.
The storyline in the movie was rather simplistic. But then again, with a title such as "Bigfoot vs. Zombies" would you expect an evening of Shakespearian theater?
Of the entire cast ensemble in the movie, I was only familiar with Jeff Kirkendall. Yeah, unfortunately I've suffered through enough Mark Polonia movies to be familiar with this actor, as he is in every single of Polonia's movies. Some of the acting performances in the movie were actually fair, I will give the movie that much credit.
Visually then you're not in for anything grand. The zombie make-up was essentially just paper mache masks, and it looked atrocious. And it is painfully obvious to see that is it just a paper mache mask. Seriously, what are people thinking when they come up with these ideas? No one involved in the movie stopped and said "uhm, this doesn't look good at all"? There were also zombies where they had just painted the faces and hands grey, which was a nice enough idea, but they failed to cover all visible skin with grey, so there were distinct and noticeably lines where grey would give way to the actor or actresses normal skin tone. And the zombie sounds were terrible as well.
And the bigfoot costume was something straight out of a Halloween costume store. Laughable, just laughable.
My rating of "Bigfoot vs. Zombies" lands on a generous one out of ten stars.

Such a funny movie. No budget for guts? Rather used a piece of red cloth. I'm sure no one noticed. Hahahahaha. Best bad movie i've seen in a long time.

While working on a secret experiment, a research team look to train forensic workers on different conditions inadvertently stumble upon a zombie outbreak brought about by their experiments and forced to turn to Bigfoot himself in order to escape the compound alive.
Overall, this one proved to be quite an enjoyable effort. One of the better elements here is the fact that there's quite a lengthy setup here to work both storylines together. The rationale for bringing the zombies onboard serves as an intriguing and unique setup as they're partly responsible for the zombie outbreak. Getting this setup to occur within the hunting grounds for Bigfoot which manages to drag it into the proceedings is quite fun due to them mixing these stories together. On top of that, the film does have some solid and enjoyable action when it erupts. The first woodlands based encounter offers up some far more atmospheric ambushes than expected and the early scenes of the zombie horde amassing and gathering their forces have some rather fun encounters. There's even a lot of fun to be had with the traditional barricading scenes as the group is picked off and forced into a small building to hold them off, and the scenes of the hunter out gleefully shooting zombies offer up some cheesy moments. Their escape attempt, bringing Bigfoot along to battle the creatures across the compound offers up plenty of wild fun. Overall, this one featured some enjoyable elements even though this one did have some pretty big flaws. The most noticeable issue here is the completely irrational meaning as for why the two storylines are converged in the first place. The wildness promised in the premise is mostly wasted here as the two rarely get to interact at all, as there are only two or three scenes featuring the zombies attacking Bigfoot with the focus of the film detailing the creation of the virus and what the purpose of them being out in the middle of the wilderness is all about. This focus can make the film seem somewhat bland in places when it's not dealing with the two interacting in some manner. The other big factor is the obvious low-budget present here. Way too much happens here that gives away the fact that this one is somewhat overwhelmed by what's going on here, from the lack of bodies that appear during the apocalypse to the utterly shaggy-looking Bigfoot costume that appears here which almost looks like it's falling off the actor at one point to the fact that there's a decidedly human-size Bigfoot around in the first place who's not even taller than the actresses in the film here. It's all quite obvious that this is low-budget and really let down by the absolute lack of location changes from the outside of the facility and two or three rooms there. Overall, these here are the film's biggest problems that hold this one down.
