The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

"The Unknown " is not a particularly appropriate title for the movie as any experienced creature feature viewer will pretty much know what to expect virtually as soon as it starts .The set up involves a legend surrounding Echo Mountain where a mysterious Big Foot type creature is said to walk .The creature ambushes and slays most members of a small hunting party .This prompts the surviving member of the group to set up a revenge mission with some of his buddies ,to the displeasure of the local law .Also stumbling around on the mountain are a quartet of high school students seeking material for the term project on Endangered species ,and a Native American ranger The budget is obviously shoestring in nature but the director is able to disguise this by judicious camera angles and cutting .The creature is pretty convincing however and this does help .Variable acting and a rushed conclusion are downsides but if you approach this in the right frame of mind it is moderately satisfying and unpretentious movie making

Yes, its a monster movie with teens. Now lets let all the little fags go and give it a 1 strictly on that fact w/o even watching the movie. Here's what I think...Pros) 1-Well made 2-Very credible acting(except foe the poachers) 3-Great use of characterization 4-Nice camera work 5-Light humor 6-Good plot 7-GREAT ending, no last second scares or any crap like that, nice and solidCons) 1-Why did the poacher kill his friend again? 2-After the dude does all this perverted crap, the idiot blonde STILL wants him to sleep with her 3-Someone please tell me who in their right mind would go into the woods where a bunch of people just got slaughtered 4-Monster looked kinda retardedAll in all...I've seen A lot better, but I've also seen A lot worse.

Steer clear of this piece of junk- it's made for television quality all around with horrible special effects, dopey plot and uninteresting creature. They couldn't even get the sexuality of the campers to be interesting. This movie fails on all points it's a story about sasquatch being pi$$ed off and killing people in the forest and people continually testing to see if that will actually happen. THose that test bigfoot wind up with sausages hanging out of their gut to simulate intestines that were ripped out. Almost scary. But really lame instead. Really lame. Super duper boring dull cast dopey story stupid effects lame. BOOOOo!

After viewing this I was amazed at the previous review. I am an avid movie viewer and have seen my share of bad films, but this one seems to top my list. First the movie starts out with a group of guys hunting and then being slaughtered, by Taka Hei. OK, good start for a plot, but then the next thing you know, you are led through an introduction of characters always being angry at each other for no reason. Yelling and annoying you to death. Typical of a D movie, but I would say it deserves an F for forget it. If all this film was set out to do was present good makeup artistry, I would not have even bothered writing a review, but the mask that Bigfoot wore, was the worst I have seen. CG anyone?....that would have at least peaked my interest. The chase scenes were worse than anything. Slow motion chase scenes are over and done with. Please, to any other directors out there, No more chase scenes in slow mo!! OK...my ten lines are up. I have nothing more to say.
