Something in the Woods

Yes the acting and direction was bad - but so nostalgically so. What do I mean? It is filmed just like the B-movies from from the period they were depicting. The sets were right on for the period. The script, acting, directing and cinematography was so much like movies of the time that if didn't see the modern time scenes it would be hard to know that it wasn't filmed then. That actually would be a difficult thing to do today. For that reason, I assume it was all very intentional -- therefore I have to give major kudos to how well that was pulled off! Because of the nostalgia aspect I actually kind of enjoyed it. Sorry that seems missed by many reviewing. Oh well.

Obviously this is a low budget type flick. Some of it is interesting. I see some of the crew and friends of the cast have left some reviews here. LoL. My biggest complaint was some of the characters are so dumb and use no commen sense whatsoever. Maybe the people this happened to were really that stupid. Can't recommend this but won't tell you not to watch it.

Not the best acting but if you're a Bigfoot fan like me, you probably won't mind watching this. I liked the story, which is supposed to be based on true events.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever watched. The acting is so bad it borders between a high school talent show sketch and a bad after school special. There is very little character development and even less chemistry between the cast. The dialogue delivery is very awkward at times, and seems like they are reading their lines for the very first time. The pacing of the story is almost non existent, and what very little story intrigue is built, falls flat on poor editing and poorly cast characters. If you want to watch a similar genre movie, I would recommend Exists - a better movie based on this type of legend. I have no idea how this movie currently is a 6.4/10. Maybe the entire cast, crew, and studio had an IMDb voting party?

Fortunately for the movie I love all things Bigfoot. Sasquatch may be real, it may only be a legend and IMO most "eyewitness accounts" are overt fictitious accounts to get 5 seconds of notoriety. Still, I love the subject and movies like this are fun to watch (albeit a little painful, LOL). The acting speaks for itself so I'm not going to even comment on it. I actually thought the editing was on par with bigger budget productions so that's a plus. I did like the story and in the end that's all that matters.
