Exists

Eduardo Sanchez, the creator of The Blair Witch Project, once again reunites himself and his crew deep into the woods. Instead of being attacked by a ghostly witch we never get to see, we are introduced to bigfoot.

After seeing the trailer I was so wanting to see this movie, even though I already knew what to expect, the typical found footage movies. It's nothing short of cliché and repetition. However, this film did actually scare me a little bit and kept me on the edge of my seat.

As a found film footage it doesn't really bring anything new to the, except for a few things, which are pretty good. It's one that will keep you jumping, keep you entertained and definitely keep your heart racing in several scenes. I liked the several Blair Witch throwbacks that were sporadically throughout the film. It was a really cool way to give homage to the movie that made his career.

I have read mixed reviews on this, and as always I don't want people to take my word for it, experience it for yourself and see what you think about it.

After loads of recently bad Bigfoot movies I was kind of dreading another disappointment but actually this was pretty good. There were no surprises plot wise but the action kept to a good pace and you actually get to see the monster which lets face it is the money shot of any horror. The filming was good and the acting fine.

I'm a bit of a fan when it comes to monster movies and have felt bad recently posting rubbish reviews so I'm really glad this movie did what it promised and was an way watch.

Probably not going to make it to the Oscar list but definitely worth a watch if you're into Bigfoot killing college kids, which lets face it is a winning formula.

Greetings from Lithuania.

"Exists" (2014) is a not the best not the worst horror flick out there. Shoot in a "found footage" style it tells a story of a group of teen who found them self in the pursuit from Bigfoot. The acting was just OK for this material, but overall movie is quickly forgettable nor really intriguing. At the running time 1 h 17 min (it's kinda short movie) it barely drags, but there is no character development, so we don't really care who dies who lives.

Overall, "Exists" is just OK horror flick, quickly forgettable one, but kinda enjoyable while it lasts. The director is Eduardo Sánchez, who created the legendary horror flick "The Blair Witch Project" (and one of the most successful horror flicks ever). Here he comes back to the formula, but the result is not very successful.

This film comes from the director of the Blair With Project, who pioneered the found footage format, and uses it here once again to make a horror movie involving none other than Bigfoot. I think the Blair Witch was genuinely scary and absolutely innovative so I was expecting this one to be good, and I must say I enjoyed it.

The director was wise to make a shorter running time for this movie as it makes it gloriously fast paced so it never becomes dull for a moment. The tension builds rather quickly and carries on doing so.

The faults in this movie are in the decisions the characters make, some of which are absolutely idiotic and unforgivable. (Slight spoiler ahead) Lets say you have a shotgun for protection and you have 5 cartridges but you waste most of them giving your (hidden) location away shooting into the air... Unforgivable.

If it wasn't for some of the idiocy of the characters I may have actually given this a 7/10 or an 8/10. It was actually pretty good, and extra kudos for the makeup and stunts which were surprisingly very good.

Overall opinion: Fast paced and enjoyable (mostly)

Recommendation: Willow Creek (2013) by Bobcat Goldthwait is another found footage Bigfoot horror which I also enjoyed..

I liked the movie more than I expected, it was interesting, got scared at times and the acting was pretty good. This is the first movie about Bigfoot I watch, the monster is quite popular in the US but outside the country is a myth or a legend that few people know, so the idea of watching a movie about Bigfoot didn't thrill me but luckily the movie was better than I expected, well-developed and interesting. What I liked the most about the movie was the fact that you could see Bigfoot, the beast showed up many times so you could appreciate its face, hands, foot and the whole body also the costume of the beast was quite good, besides I liked the way in which Bigfoot scared the boys before attacking. On the other hand what I least liked was the fact the beast didn't kill like a beast, if you wanna see a movie about monsters, the least you could expect is a bloody death. I gave 6 stars out of 10 because and although the movie was fine it could've been much better, but worth a watch.
