Great Film overall

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

No it's not a 10 rated movie however I feel it was rated by many without actually being viewed. IMO this is one of the more unique monster movies, or a variation of a type of Bigfoot movie not even remotely close to anything we've ever seen before. It's hard to really name a sasquatch type of movie that has been anything above halfway decent. This movie was not just decent to me, bur borderline, GOOD. The "lead" actor is pretty horrible, the male lead, the female only slightly better. It's the abilities and the uniqueness of the monster antagonist that make this movie. My true rating would be a 6, maybe a 7 out of 10 as far as fun viewing. Acting is maybe a 4. I just don't think the 4 it's rated right now is a fair rating with too many 1 and 2 stars. Of this specific type of movie, this is the best one I have ever seen that has a Bigfoot type of creature. It's by no means a typical Bigfoot story you have heard some hunter relate before.

There are too many people giving good grades, of good will to this movie. The movie at the start seems to be good, has a slow pace and a great atmosphere. the lack of music contributes to making the initial accident more dramatic.But nevertheless ... unfortunately ... it falls too much in bad performances, big, Big, BIG, moments of SJW: *it's fine that people who are not white are racists and misogynists, but the film makes it clear that white men should always be stupid, patriarchal and murdered by the monster / defender of the forest, *ok there we have something for environmentalists / anti hunting /antiguns to love the movie: misogynist hunters killed by an animal with mystical influence of the Native American tribes. (WOW all that in a single movie? ... yup swallow it ... Besides, Surprise! Bigfoot wants to have children because he is probably bored of just hunting and eating white "men that are creating chaos to forest" (quoted).The stupid thing about this movie is that the girl after her zoophilic experience can still run with a gun and chase the big foot instead of just running away.The entire transition with the scene behind the store with "Indian bosses" is unnecessary, there are almost 30 minutes of indigenist pro-inclusion propaganda film in a horror movie (besides the deputy acid trip) that are forced on the film, Im would rather prefer to watch a documentary ok? this is supposed to be a horror flick.The film tries to justify all this footage so that the sheriff and the husband meet and then re-enter the forest just for them selves armed with "magic weapons" (Yes ...). My opinion Bad writing plus a subtle agenda

After reading some of the mixed reviews on this film, I figured it would be a wildcard. I am a fan of Bigfoot anything, so decided to give it a try. Yes, it is definitely the 80s gore type genre- if that is not your thing you may not enjoy this one. Considering the budget, I actually thought the interpretation of Bigfoot was creative - something of a Bigfoot-meets- Groot costume. All in all, I personally would have preferred a more subtle /eerie "stalked in the woods" vibe only. I felt like the role of the witch and amount of time the two main characters wasted arguing with the narrow-minded hunters early on just detracted from the story. Not the worst movie I've ever seen, but don't recommend planning your Saturday movie night around it. But again, that's just me. Just not scary.

Saw this movie expecting the usual bad FX, awful acting, boring death scenes..... i got all the opposite.Its a brand new take on a known them the Sasquatch, but with some major turns..... intelligent use the jungle reminded me a lot of predator in a lot of ways but very well done not like yeah ok they did that.The death scene are very gory, so its a big plus.Not sure what the budget for this movie was but its pretty well made
