Memorable, crazy movie

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

With the baffling description of being a Comedy Family Horror this is one of those films which simply defies words.It's a comedy which failed to manage a single laugh, it simply isn't funny. It's sure as hell not a family movie and describing it as a horror would be laughable.If I had to describe its correct genre I'd have to use an expletive.The film itself is such a bizarre creature, it's poorly acted (Though I think it's intentional) with a incredibly fake looking creature and over the top clichéd storyline.Honestly I can't think of a single redeeming feature except that the appearance of the monster brought me lots of nostalgia.Embarrassing unfunny mess and everyone involved should be blacklisted from the industry for this travesty.The Good: A small dose of nostalgia The Bad: Awful soundtrack Laughable acting Every joke misses its mark Red warning flashes are annoying and pointless Introduction sequence is dumb Things I Learnt From This Movie: Instead of waiting for a monster to go before grabbing something it's best to do it immediately and get yourself killed, because duh! Cat Litter is all a person needs and has thousands of uses including killing River Beasts

This is a funny, charming, unique, throwback slice of Americana with a monster in it. Don't watch this expecting scares or gore, watch this because it is chock full of invention, humour, observation and ideas. It's a homage to old time, small town ideals and camp fire story telling. In this cynical, self referential, gratuity obsessed culture it is a breath of fresh air to see this low budget, independent cast of colourful and creative characters band together to make this movie. When I watch it I can't keep the smile off my face but it's not a derisive smile, it's enthralled, entertained joy.On top of everything else it is photographed really well and there are some genuinely wonderful shots in the film. The music is an unrivalled delight, the acting is a style all of its own and although it's obviously a suit, the Riverbeast costume is terrific! I would urge people check this and the group's previous efforts Freaky Farley and Monsters, Marriage and Murder in Manchvegas as they offer more peculiar, funny tales of the things that might be lurking in your woods!
