Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A documentary filmmaker and his brother with his parter go to Siskiyou County, California to investigate alleged Bigfoot sightings and get more than they bargained for.As the found footage influx continues this addition is strong enough as a POV film, but if anything it's a little miss sold with the prominent Bigfoot tag. Writer, director Stephon Stewart's Bigfoot County a.k.a Bigfoot Tapes is too real for its own good, yelling, cursing, screaming in the dark and rape, the reactions feel real but does that make good entertainment? It has a great on location setting of forest and caves there's some notable realistic tense scenes especially at the beginning and final act. What starts as a Bigfoot hunt turns into a blunt, hard hitting Deliverance-like film by the closing act.It debatably has the edge over the similar Big Foot: Lost Coast Tapes (2012) from an audience engagement perspective but unlike 'Tapes it has very little full on Bigfoot encounters which may leave some viewers feeling short changed. The opening first act works well due to the leads and supporting casts performances. The odd local characters and the two leads are excellent for a low budget entry. Stephon Stewart as Stephon Lancaster and Davee Youngblood as Davee Lancaster are naturalistic and have good on screen chemistry.Due the the one camera aspect it has credibility but also loses the scope of a traditional film setting. Like the comparable aforementioned it may not be the best hand held camera shot movie or Bigfoot film, that probably goes to Exists but it's better than what Syfy are churning out.

This movie had the potential to be great. I think the idea of a "found footage film" with big foot is cool and once I heard about it I had to see it immediately. To my surprise I was disappointed. You never really get to see big foot, I had a feeling it wouldn't show him a lot but I expected at least one good look at him. You only get the chance twice and its very brief. The f word is used about a million times, literally a million times I don't understand why the writer thought it was a good idea to put in an f word in every line. And they use it when its totally not even needed I don't get offended by foul language or anything but it starts to get annoying. The ending really disappointed me because when the hillbillies have the brother tied up and are about to rape him I thought it would of been awesome to have the big foot pop out and wipe out the clan of hillbillies. But instead they continue on with the assault then drop the main character off in a field the next day. We watch him lay there for about 3 minutes then big foot emerges from the tall grass and it abruptly ends. I think my ending would have been way better. Do not hype yourself up for this movie it is a waste of time you are not missing anything find another movie.

This is my first review of a film, the only reason i feel compelled to write one now is to try a save anyone else from wasting their time watching it. Found footage horror is one of my favourite genre's, this film sadly does not do it justice.I've just reach 55 minutes in the film and actually feel glad that one of the cast has just been dragged off into the woods, hopefully it won't take much longer before the rest are eaten.As mentioned in other reviews whoever "wrote" the script is far too fond of using f**k probably to cover up the fact the actors were incapable of relaying emotion.

I find some of the reviews of this film slightly ridiculous. One starts off by saying how they 'loathe found footage films', well why did you watch this then?! Several other reviews complain about the shaky camera work ... erm, it's a fake documentary filmed by people walking around with a hand-held camera, mostly through difficult terrain, wouldn't it be slightly bizarre if the camera-work was perfect?!! Take found footage films for what they are, if you don't like them then don't watch them and then complain about them! I love found footage films, a lot of them are dreadful but this is not one of them. I thought the acting was decent by found footage standards (in other words perfectly OK for this type of film)and at least it wasn't filmed in an abandoned lunatic asylum for a change. The tension is really built up well in this film, there is a lot of weird stuff going on which creeps you out (no in-your-face monsters etc) and you never really know what is stalking the documentary makers. There are weak points, such as the blatant Blair-witch rip off scene (though no doubt the director would claim it's a tribute) and some absurd dialogue bearing in mind the situation the crew are in. Overall though it is a decent effort and if it only cost 600 bucks then hats off to the producers etc. If you like found footage films, watch it. If you don't, don't watch it!
