BIGFOOT is a straight-to-video monster flick made in Ohio. The budget is even smaller than an equivalent SyFy Channel or Asylum movie, leaving it rather inept throughout, and difficult to enjoy. The story is predictable and seems man intruding into the wilderness, encountering the titular creature, and suffering for it. The plot is mostly talk and travel, the script is very poor, and there's a back-and-forth predictability to the plotting. The only time it picks up is at the big set-piece action climax in a deserted quarry.
... View MoreWow. I mean w o w. Bigfoot took me on quite a journey, unlike anything I've ever seen before. It's a thriller in every sense of a word, and one of the funniest comedies I've ever seen.So hard to believe it's just a small, indie-type film. I cried and laughed at all the right times, often consecutively. I had such an attachment to Jack and Bob as characters, as well as the ranger chick. The suspense in this film is absolutely unbelievably executed. My friends and I turned to each other at the end of this masterpiece and just gasped. There are no words to express Bigfoot, much like the monster himself. Also, graphics in this movie...Seriously. I don't know how they did it. I'm in awe. Bob Gray, I salute you for changing my life. Will definitely be recommending this to friends. "It's Booty Time"
... View MoreA decent effort, decidedly better than ANY I have seen from Asylum, which seems hellbent on product of the lowest common denominator. A down on his luck soldier, who was recently discharged from the service due to striking a superior officer is moving with his 9 year old daughter to his old hometown, an old house now surrounding by development in the Ohio mortheast. He meets up with his old best friend who is now the Sheriff. Good times ensue,until a series of animal mutilations occur. Soon they morph into human deaths and mutilations. This is the biggest departure from typical Bigfoot movies, where the alleged creature shuns humans and is portrayed as mostly non threatening. It is suggested that development has caused Bigfoot to lose his hunting grounds and that he turns mean to survive. The script is a bit weak, the acting decidedly on the B level, but it is a fun romp as the goodguy seeks out the creature to destroy it.The creature itself is quite well done, with an effective costume and moves that show him to be powerful and threatening. Hokey at times, also in the tradition of the old B films. I have spent time on less enjoyable flicks, but a good effort. I hope to see more from Bob Gray, the writer and director and also co star. Unbelievable what he did with a reportedly 40k budget. Deserving of at least a 5.0.
... View MoreI have seen Disaster movie, I have seen Manos: hands of fate, Return of the living dead: rave to the grave, The return of the Texas chainsaw massacre, Troll 2 and many other B movies, but I have NEVER seen such a compilation of bad plotting, directing and acting. Every subplot in this movie is idiotic at such level that you wanna ram your head into the wall, directing feels like it came straight from some kind of dull 60-s TV show, acting is terrible beyond believe, seriously the worst I have ever seen, in Troll 2 none of the actor knew a word in English and their dialogs felt miles better and more lively and realistic than here. Yes, like most of the B flicks it has "it's so bad it's good" thing going on for it, but this movie takes itself too seriously, so it doesn't really work, the funniest thing here is Bigfoot costume they used and seeing it first time will probably give you few minutes of joyful laughter, but I don't really think it's worth it. Skip it.
