Featured reviews
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.
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.
I went into this film reading all kinds of negative reviews here. I watched it and found it to be decent for a low budget effort. Yes, there is no gore and no T&A like so many low budget exploits. The acting could be a little more polished, but I liked the characters and could relate to the father in this family. I liked the film; you may not. All I can say is: watch it & decide for yourself.
I've watched this twice now. It's a great movie/reenactment. The bad reviews are obviously people that came into this expecting a Hollywood film. This was meant to be a documentary and reenactment of what happened to this family. If you go into this expecting an A movie with Hollywood special effects, you'll be disappointed. If you go into it expecting what it actually is, you'll love it. Especially if you are a Big Foot lover. The cast did a decent job. The big foot costume was well done. I truly think they did a really decent job with the low budget that they were working with. I'd rather watch something like this, than some cookie cutter remake that Hollywood has been putting out.
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.
