Best movie of this year hands down!

Overrated

Let's be realistic.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This film could have been good if they would have left out the first 45 minutes of the film which was nothing more than a father and son drama... they dragged that on way to long. And the boy's uncle looked as if he was going to sit in the lotus position at any given seconded chanting the "OM" - lol he really didn't belong in the woods with the others. And the son was more like his uncle than his father - that's good and bad - the father was a piece of puckie, but the son wasn't any better towards his dad.The last 45 minutes we finally get to the "Bigfoot" or Sasquatch - that part was okay. I will say they tried to give a good film... it almost worked but it does have it's short comings.4/10

The film consists mostly of four individuals in a cabin in the woods. When the mother dies, husband Roger (Jason Vail) drinks himself out of house and job. He lives in Uncle Will's (D'Angelo Midili) abandoned cabin along with his college age son Michael (Miles Joris-Peyrafitte) who is not exactly a man's man. The cabin has been ransacked as the proverbial logging company is entering Bigfoot's territory. Roger, who reminds us, "There is no such thing as Bigfoot," invites Will and his drinking buddy Sergio (David Saucedo), the most obnoxious Latino outside of Florida, to come up and hunt and drink...my two favorite combinations. And as you might guess, they encounter some guys in big hairy costumes.Bill Oberst Jr managed to get top billing for his late cameo role. Maria Damey was cut from the film as the older sister. Film had a hokey ending. Most of the film consisted of needless conflict within the group. A me-too Bigfoot film.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

This film was the last to be screened at Horrible Imaginings Film Festival in San Diego where it won the award for Best Cinematography in a Feature Film.Monster movie by a local San Diego filmmaking team, this could be classified as a "B" monster movie with Bigfoot as the monster. The movie takes its time in developing its cast of characters and the circumstances which brings them to the setting where the monster mayhem is to take place. The cinematography is nice in making good use of the woods in the state of Washington, and the setting in the woods makes use of its own claustrophobia when out in the woods, especially at night. Scenes taking place in the cabin were oddly reminiscent of the original Night Of The Living Dead with the confined space that our humans have to deal with. The gore factor does increase after a time which creates uneasy laughs in the audience. Bigfoot itself looks rather poor at times, but since Bigfoot arguably doesn't exist (although the filmmaker would argue) we must accept what the movie presents. The tension is fun and the final confrontations with the family of Bigfoot is a good payoff for a monster movie of this type. If there is a downside to this movie is that the film's most likable character is the first to die. What breaks with cliché is how it happens. Other than that this is a fun late night/midnight monster flick.

I'm just an average "Jane" movie attendee who loves thriller/horror films, and I happen to be a Sasquatch enthusiast. I was very fortunate to attend the world premiere in Durham, NC.Indeed, I got much more than I hoped for or expected... and from an Indie at that !! ( I am guessing here no star wars budget ?)Do note it's not just another Sasquatch movie either.You have a believable plot, character development, relationships, great acting and scenery...roller coaster twist and turns, special effects, and more. I confess, I flew up out of my seat a couple of times !!Rating 8-9A few big reasons for my support.1- Clearly, someone(s) have researched the subject of Sasquatch in depth. The subject is finally treated with the absolute respect that is it deserves. 2- High marks for special effects, from an average Sasquatch movie viewer. Not only are the Sasquatch(s) amazing on the big screen, this movie sets new standards in that never before have we been shown so many different Sasquatches, so many times, and that up close and personal. I strongly recommend to those who love this genre.Big congrats to all involved and ...whoop !!
