Color grading? Contrast?

While this film has an interesting premise, and a good marketing and licensing budget...

WHO thought the color grading was ready for release?

On an HDR UHD television this is completely washed out! If they had reduced the brightness and kept the contrast they would have a more visually interesting film! I don't understand the obsession some filmmakers have with either increased frame rates or washed out bright colors or both! I want movies to look like professionally produced movies on film, not cheap television video! Not cheaply produced daytime soaps!

This film had potential but it was totally washed out colorwise!

For an example of a digital low-budget film with REAL professional brightness, contrast, and creative cinematography, check out "Gaia" (2021).

Low budget or not, want to look like a real movie? Color grade your film to match Gaia, or go home!

Seriously!

SAVE YOUR MONEY

This movie was all over the place. The monster was quite comical though. Throwback to decades ago. Terrible acting, choppy plot. Didn't know if it was horror, sci-fi, supernatural or what. Save your money please.

Don't waste your time

I just saw this, went into it expected nothing and was still disappointed. There are two scenes with the stairs and they are both irrelevant. You can literally cut the stairs out of The Stairs movie and it would be the same movie. The guys were cute though so 2/10.

But what about the carving?

I just wanna know who carved the big Sasquatch in the store scene. Best part of the movie. Of course I'm biased as I'm a professional woodcarver but whatever.

This movie is terribly made with alot of stuff that made no sense or just flat out wasnt even attempted to be explained. Dont waste your time.
