Trivia
In the original story, written by John Carl Buechler, none of the characters had last names, except for Jack Bergman. The screenwriters expanded on that when naming the other characters because they were fans of the comedy group The Firesign Theatre. So each member of the group of Bigfoot hunters has the same last name as one of the four members of the Firesign Theatre: Bergman, Proctor, Ossman, and Austin.

Goooofy!

The creators of this film really broke the goofy meter with this one. The movie begins routinely for the horror genre - five twenty somethings alone in a cabin in the woods (Demon Woods no less) with a murderous bigfoot type monster on the loose. Typically, the twenty somethings are slowly killed off and from this point on the flick gets incredibly asinine. Turns out that bigfoot and people in zombie masks are being controlled by a master alien in a Bronson Canyon cave. The zombies bring victims to the slaughter for the alien so it can partake of various body parts (one scene in particular shows one of the topless females on a slab getting her heart torn out and fed to the master alien). And how the hell did George Kennedy get involved with this mess? It always amazes AND saddens me to see fading veteran actors take embarrassing roles like this. Prepare to be astounded and puzzled if you watch this debacle.
