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.

with this movie as the movie just felt ................................Well I wished,I didn't after to write anything else, as the first line said it all.felt the movie stayed on one stage, never really moved forward at all, the bunch of scenes of nothing put together.Not one scene was scary or creepy at all, not even one small bad scare scene to make you Jump or even blink,When I thought this movie could not get any worse,it goes into some kinda of hostage movie, some of the cast end up going missing, you have no idea were they go.I don't know, Maybe I missed it cause, I wasn't really paying too much attention to the movie near the end.The end of the movie, made me laugh out so loud, it's was so. so, SO, Badly done.The acting this movie was very wooden from the whole cast, I Did not care for one person in this movie at all, I found all very annoying2 out 10

This movie was.... terrible? Awful? Abysmal? Wretched? Just plain bad? Hmmm, I can't think of quite the right word to convey my disappointment. I like lost footage films when they are done right. This one wasn't. the writer saw Blair Witch once, thought "Hey! I can do that!" and then fell over and hit his head causing massive brain damage. That is the only way I figure this could have been made. Some people talk about how this is a homage to Blair Witch, or that it's just carrying on the style; it's three schmucks lost in the woods yelling at each other while one of them films it. Now then I know that's what pretty much any Lost Footage film is, but in this one, no one seemed to care. At all. I'm putting more love into this review than anyone did to that movie. But I can forgive the slow pacing, predictability, poor acting, flagrant use of the the F- Bombs (a sign that the writer doesn't know how to write dialogue) because I do love my silly horror/monster films. What I can't forgive is the ending: The "Teehee, I saw Deliverance as a child and I added my own backwoods rapists into it! They're the real monsters! But oh wait, if you watch the dead guy at the very end for long enough you see Bigfoot for 2 seconds letting you know he might have been responsible for... something?" Honestly, I hate that crap. It's insulting. If they just kept it simple they might have had something, but the "twist" followed by a last minute even more predictable "twist" is just lazy.

The third in the recent slew of Bigfoot movies and I'm afraid it was more of the same. Better than Night Claws (not that difficult), maybe not as good as Lost Coast Tapes but we're talking slightly one way or another.I'm finding the biggest problem with all recent found footage / hand-held cam movies is the lack of originality and any real idea of a decent ending.Blair Witch Project cornered the market of unexplained, cut-off endings, it's been copied countless times since. How many more times do we need the same!? It's a tool used to keep production costs low, where big Hollywood movies would wow us with special effects as a pay off movies with little or no budget will use the leave us guessing tool.I really don't mind it if it's done properly, but there has to be a organic sequence of events otherwise the audience is forced to watch a bunch of people stumbling around in a dark forest for absolutely no reason whatsoever.For once I didn't have a problem with the characters in this film, I was at times enjoying the ride. But there ultimately isn't enough meat on the bones of the movie to sustain itself and sadly after a few mild thrills it tails off into what I suspected all along.There is a twist at the end but it's telegraphed from a long way off so don't expect any surprises.
