Bigfoot : Attaque en forêt

Some movies make you think.

Some movies make you laugh.

Some movies are guilty pleasures.

Alas, this is not any of the above.

Yes, Sci-Fi Channel is continuing on its mission to re-define "Science Fiction" as "brain-dead horror aimed at 9-year-old boys who find pro wrestling enjoyable".

The plot of Sasquatch Mountain is beyond stupid. Was it envisioned by someone deluded enough to find it quality? Or was it envisioned by someone who was selling out to an idea that a substantial number of fans WANT this drivel? We have become stupid enough as a nation without Sci Fi Channel trying to dry up what's left of our brains.

Oh, yes - DON'T BELIEVE the evaluations written by LIARS who are somehow invested in the movie PRETENDING to be fans who actually enjoyed it. First clue - these people voted this movie a 10/10. That's impossible. Even someone who is a fan of this kind of lunacy would never consider it among the BEST movies around. Don't believe the liars.

This film is definitely for those who want to see all the Big Foot/Yeti/Sasquatch films.

Maybe it is also for a Lance Henriksen completest, if there is one. With over 180 appearances, you would have to watch a lot of cable to achieve that status.

Certainly, seeing the Yellow Power Ranger, Cerina Vincent, was a treat. Or, maybe you wanted to see Little Opie's real father, Rance Howard. Let's not forget to mention former Miss Korea, Karen Kim, who was one of the robbers. 뜨거운 흡연!

Sasquatch is played by Tiny Ron, whose 7 ft height has to really limit his roles. I wouldn't imagine he would ever star with Kristin Chenoweth.

It tended to really drag in the second half, and there could have been a lot less talking, and a lot more Sasquatch action.

A group of thieves heist the bank of a small town and shoot a deputy. While escaping from the police chase, their van crashes another car on the road. They make the driver hostage and they run to a forest, followed by the "men-of-law". Meanwhile a "big-foot" chases both groups, and they join forces against the "thing".

"Sasquatch Mountain" is one of the most awful movies that I ever seen. The story and the dialogs are ridiculous; the camera work and the edition are terrible, maybe because the restrained budget; even the sexy Cerina Vincent is not able to save this garbage. In respect to the veterans Lance Henriksen, Tim Thomerson and Rance Howard, I am not writing any word about their performances. The authors of the favorable reviews in IMDb (ten stars?) misleading the readers are probably included in the payroll of this cheesy flick. My vote is one.

Title (Brazil): "O Demônio da Montanha" ("The Demon of the Mountain")

I just don't get it! The myth of Sasquatch is one of interest, but no one can pull off a descent film about the creature. This movie strikes out. The best actor in this flick is the monster, but none of the characters have no motivation or reasoning behind the decisions they make. The sasquatch doesn't stir any feeling either. This leaves the viewer in an awkward position. You can't back the humans or the booger! The climax fails and doesn't deliver anything other than an overwhelming feeling that you just wasted much precious time. I really thought this movie would be a little better. Alas, it gets 1/10 in my book.

Why did I rent this? I wanted a good laugh. This movie kind of did this but the beast was more of a sub-plot.

I liked the first sequence with the camcorder so I thought maybe this film will be somewhat serious. Nope! Though the acting was a bit better than average for a b-movie (maybe it's because I've seen to many Ulli Lommel films). The character development wasn't even that bad. A little rushed but I've seen a lot worst.

I didn't know what the main focus was: The beast was just thrown in there to baffle everyone. It really hurt the film. After a bank robbery, six (maybe it was seven) people try to escape but only hit Cerina Vincent's character with a car. They fight it off with some cops than try to escape in the woods. That's where the beast came in.

This movie obviously wasn't good but it actually had potential. The music was OK but the writing was horrible (what do you expect). This may entertain some of you but it didn't really entertain me. Though there are a lot worst films than this. Watch anything from Ulli Lommel - he's a scam artist!
