The Bigfoot Tapes. Having seen several bad Bigfoot movies lately I picked this up dirt cheap in the hope that it may buck the trend. Well if anything it took things to a new low! Three people go searching for Bigfoot, filming every step (yes, this is yet another found footage movie, Zzzz). They hook up with Bible quoting local Travis but once he vanishes things go seriously bad. Within the first few minutes of the film the "expert" on the subject incorrectly says that the Yeti is European. That gaff didn't bode well. There are obvious shades of Blair Witch here, only that was well done & this isn't. This film is incredibly boring and if it doesn't send you to sleep then the awful camera work will give you a headache. I think it takes skill to make an effective found footage, but this just belongs in the great pile of bad ones. In fact this is one of the worst examples that I've sat through. The only reason that I can see for this being BBFC rated 18 is for a scene of male rape. An abysmal film, don't waste your time or money.

Contrary to what some reviewers write, the title is appropriate. The scares and dangers in the film come not from Bigfoot, but from the inhabitants of the area which is Bigfoot Country; the drug-dealers and other rural denizens of Bigfoot Country are the scariest things in those woods.I enjoy found-footage films, but this was boring. The protagonists, while not as annoying as in some other films of this type, still are irritating, what with their insipid dialog and moronic decisions. The cleverest part of the film is the final shot, a close-up of a dead protagonist while in the background Bigfoot walks by--oh, the irony! Unfortunately, I watched this after Wild Men which is a comedy/horror found-footage film about searching for Bigfoot that is much more entertaining. Bigfoot is the scariest thing in the woods in that one.

... and 12 SECONDS 12 SECONDS!I really don't know what to make of this one. On the one hand, it's a generic as all hell found footage piece with a modicum of camp value as THEY ARE HUNTING FOR BIGFOOT! BIGFOOT!! IN 2012!!! On the other hand, you got a Deliverance clone with no pay off. Slim Pickings.Intoxication or a gaggle of like minded friends are essential to salvage any entertainment value from this C-grade entry into a genre late into its decline. That's not entirely true actually. Paranormal Activity 4 still made 5x it's budget that same year of this production. But that series, let's be honest, was the only true game in town by that point anyway.The only way this film could have redeemed itself was, like all the clones, fight dirty and become an exploitation piece. It was nearly there as the third act kinda accelerated into snuff territory, but I mean, come on, what's more WTF, rape by pot smoking hee-haw or by Sasquatch? It worked for Night of the Demon (1980), why not now? Show what Hollywood can and will not. Have some gull fellas, come on. Make Trash Great Again!This dim affair gets three stars.

I am ashamed and embarrassed to admit I watched this all the way through in the hopes that it might get better. It didn't.I swear to god, I am so sick of hipster/slacker 20/30 somethings showing lack of respect for personal space, common sense, and just about everything. If you are looking for something or hunting something in the woods (or anywhere for that matter), you don't go crashing through the brush like a stampede of cattle or talking and yelling at the top of your lungs. Any real hunter out there might have shot these imbeciles just to have the quiet! Someone also needs to put the word out: the Blair Witch Project "shakycam" effect is so tried and old. It tires your viewers quickly, distracts from the film and in general ruins the entire show. I have seen several films in the past couple of years that might have really had something if this "personal documentary" "shakycam" crap wasn't involved.This film was a huge waste of everyone's time, is mis-billed as a horror film and lacks any redeeming value. Do not waste your time on this. Learn from my fail.
