The best Bigfoot movies are elusive in Hollywood, with mainstream audiences not showing as much interest in the mythical creature as they do in other horror monsters. The first Bigfoot movie didn't arrive until 1970, despite stories about the creature dating back to the 1700s and a legend that developed over time with similar creatures from different parts of the world. Some of the best Bigfoot movies have achieved cult classic status and received positive reviews, showcasing unique storytelling approaches such as comedy, found footage, and animation.

Maneater is the twelfth feature film from writer/director Justin Lee since he came on the scene in 2018 with Big Legend. And it comes at an opportune time since it’s been a couple of months since we’ve reviewed an old-fashioned shark attack film. Shark Side of the Moon and Sharkula don’t count for obvious reasons.

Jessie got dumped just before her wedding. But since the honeymoon was already paid for, her friend Sunny convinced her to turn it into a vacation. So, along with Will, Brianna and the rest of the crew they set sail with Captain Wally and Beth.

As this is happening, Harlan is running around town demanding the police do something about the shark that killed his daughter. He also...

Arriving on VOD next Tuesday, July 3rd, is Justin Lee’s Big Legend, which follows a man (played by Kevin Makely) who, haunted by the disappearance of his fiancé, heads back to the woods where she was taken, only to find himself hot on the trail of none other than Bigfoot himself, and he must find a way to contend with the elusive creature.

Daily Dead recently spoke with Lee about the real-life inspiration behind Big Legend, and he discussed how Makely’s own obsession with the long-rumored beast led to him taking on the infamous Sasquatch as well. Lee chatted about working with his lead actor (and long-time best pal) and collaborating with several genre veterans on Big Legend, and he also discussed future plans for the world he establishes in the film, which is set up during Big Legend’s finale with the help of Lance Henriksen.

Look...

Try not to laugh or roll your eyes too hard as you read what Big Legend is about: Bigfoot. Yes, it's true, writer/director Justin Lee's new movie is about Bigfoot but he also seems to be taking a new approach to the legend because this trailer features some serous thriller vibes.

Along with Makely and Robinson, the movie also stars Amanda Wyss, Adrienne Barbeau and Lance Henriksen.
