Bigfoot

Not the best but not the worst. I've seen movies that are far worse than this and it's good in the beginning. However, the ending is lame. It loses all of its efforts at the very end. The special effects are not bad and there are some funny moments. But its not one where you can get into the characters or feel for them.

The bully in the.film reminds me of NJ governor Chris Christie and they could of done more to show how a small town and limited law enforcement can run into problems with something beyond the normal. That something dangerous and fast besides deadly. You don't fight on your own.

Besides getting knocked around you should dead by this beast! Even your neck snapped. So don't expect anything but a far fetch attempt. But of you're board and have nothing better to do. It has a entertainment value.

Also, a 101 on how not to blow an ending and how to depict towns folk who hunt as morons. If anything the way this was done. They should of killed themselves before they got this far in life.

Last thing, this also shows the ignorance of how a military vet is depicted. No research and thought put into the character or the folks. enough. Just kept it simple and in that way it was a fast pace film.

But if you want something better see the prophecy where mercury is in the water and mutates a bear. That was better than this. Also, gives it a scary and more eerie take on how this could of gone, if followed In that kind of format.

Just saying, just my 2 cents worth that's all & I wish you all the best.

I came across this one late night on a digital streaming service and gave it a try after watching one bad Bigfoot movie after another. I was pleasantly surprised with this one even though it is obviously a low budget production. The monster is actually pretty well done in terms of creature effects and costume. Some of the extras seem to be just residents of the town they shot this in but Bob Gray, who plays the sheriff was actually very good and the story is decent as well. The main actors playing the lead and leading lady are okay but its a good enough acting job to be watchable. Overall a good view if you can find it. I wouldn't pay the $80 bucks I've seen it advertised at for the DVD but a digital download or rental is worth the price.

This was the worst movie I've ever seen...but it was so bad I had to 2atch the whole thing

I had a chance to attend a midnight screening of Bigfoot at local film festival here in New York. What impressed me most is that writer-director-co-star Bob Gray delivered a product far superior to the likes of, lets say "Sasquatch Hunters", on what I understand was a far smaller budget. Bigfoot is fun, effectively written and directed. OK, yes, it never fully escapes feeling like a B movie, but I think that's the idea. This movie knows what it is, a fun, at times campy, but always entertaining horror film about Bigfoot on the loose. The camera work is inventive, and some of the characters are far better performed written and performed than you'd imagine. In a supporting role, Bob Gray is terrifically cast as a county sheriff and friend of the lead. Peppered with some very funny moments, and effective suspense, Bigfoot is very much worth the watch.

Bigfoot (2006)

** (out of 4)

This low-budget horror film isn't going to be mistaken for a masterpiece but it's certainly much better than you'd expect it to be. The story is pretty simple as a man gets thrown out of the Army so he returns to his hometown where his father just recently died. The man strikes it up with his old friend who just happens to be the Sheriff now and soon they're thrown into a mystery surrounding several mutilated deers. When humans start showing up ripped apart they soon realize that it's not a bear doing the damage but instead Bigfoot. Is BIGFOOT a good movie? Not at all. What it is however is a pretty impressive "B" movie that really tries to be a throwback to the 80s direct-to-video titles and on this level the film works pretty well. Director Bob Gray does a very good job directing this film as he does the one thing great that usually kills these types of films and that's the pacing. A lot of these movies appear to have just been slung together and the pacing is all over the map but that's not the case here. I was really impressed with the way Gray kept the film moving at a good pace and even more impressive is that he actually tries to build up a story to go along with the horror elements. There's a backstory dealing with the main character's discharge from the Army and we even get a few bits and pieces from the other characters. Not all of these backstory works too well but at the same time at least the director shows he could add this stuff and work it into the material. The performances are another plus with Todd Cox doing a good job in the lead role and Gray himself is good playing the buddy/Sheriff. I've seen countless low-budget Bigfoot movies as the monster is without question my favorite "myth" character. The outfit design here of Bigfoot is without question the best I've seen. I really liked the wrinkled-up face and even the hair on the outfit looked believable. Just compare the outfit here to any other Bigfoot movie and I'll think even the most jaded person will be impressed. As is the case with a lot of these type of movies, the film eventually runs out of gas around the one hour mark and the final showdown with the creature isn't nearly as good as some of the earlier moments in the film. With that said, if you're a fan of this type of picture then it's certainly worth checking out.
