I'm a huge fan of Bigfoot movies and I love Lance Henriksen and Tim Thomerson who are in this film. I really expected something decent, something watchable at least. Very sad to say 'Sasquatch Mountain' isn't watchable. Steven R. Monroe managed to make one of the worst horror films in history. The plot is promising, we have gangsters who just robbed the bank and because of unfortunate crash, they ended up in the forest, running from the steel hand of love. There is a whole bunch of characters walking around the woods for various reasons, none of them are really likable and acting is probably the best part of the movie. I mean we have Henriksen and Thomerson in a really good performances as they always deliver, no matter how crappy the film is. We have Cerina Vincent who became some sort of 'Scream Queen' lately and while she is pretty, she has not much acting talent to be honest with you. The rest of them(actors) are rather weak and forgettable but at least they don't behave like amateurs. The biggest disappointment for me personally was a Bigfoot. It was a man in the costume which is always great but the design was just awful. It looked like a poor man's Chewbacca, behaved like a retarded. The whole film sounds and looks like SyFy Channel and I know they screened it. The script is weak, music is forgettable at best and it just follows all the clichés from the other movies. Can't believe they actually spent more than 300k on it as it looks nothing but cheap. As a Bigfoot/horror movies lover I can easily say that it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

A group of thieves heist the bank of a small town and shoot a deputy. While escaping from the police chase, their van crashes another car on the road. They make the driver hostage and they run to a forest, followed by the "men-of-law". Meanwhile a "big-foot" chases both groups, and they join forces against the "thing"."Sasquatch Mountain" is one of the most awful movies that I ever seen. The story and the dialogs are ridiculous; the camera work and the edition are terrible, maybe because the restrained budget; even the sexy Cerina Vincent is not able to save this garbage. In respect to the veterans Lance Henriksen, Tim Thomerson and Rance Howard, I am not writing any word about their performances. The authors of the favorable reviews in IMDb (ten stars?) misleading the readers are probably included in the payroll of this cheesy flick. My vote is one.Title (Brazil): "O Demônio da Montanha" ("The Demon of the Mountain")

**SPOILERS** Overly talky and underly exciting Bigfoot movie with the elusive Bigfoot, played by the over seven foot tall ex-basketball player "Tiny" Ron, getting less time in the film the its both beginning and ending credits; About five minutes! In fact the film "Sasquatch Mountain" is more about a bank robbery gone wrong then a movie about the big footed 800 to 1,200 pound, and over seven foot tall, gorilla-like creature roaming the Great American North West.These crooks wearing gorilla or "Planet of the Apes" masks rob a local bank where in the crossfire with the police kill Officer Sirom Sauls, Bob Harter. As the crooks make their getaway they smash into, outside of town, Erin Price, Cerina Vincent, who just left her abusive boyfriend and is traveling to California to start a new life. With the cops lead by the ailing senior citizen Sheriff Zeff, Rance Howard, catching up with the bank robbers the only thing they have to bargain with is Eirn who was taken hostage during the confusion.At this point the movie doesn't seem to know where to go in that it's only some 15 to 20 minutes old and has some one hour of running time left to cover! So we have this Bigfoot show up out of nowhere uniting both cops and robbers in a mutual cause! Killing the Bigfoot before he ends up killing them! In fact we got to see the Bigfoot at the beginning of the film where local town resident Chase Jackson, Lance Henriksen, is fixing his van Chase's wife Sara, Kate Connors, who for some reason is videotaping the great "event" is killed by a runaway car! In Sara's videotape we see a shadowy Bigfoot running through the woods! It's later in the movie that Chase who had since become a hermit on Sasqatch Mountain not only tracks down the Bigfoot but the robbers as well.Both the cops and robbers are a mixed bag of nuts who get picked off by the Bigoot one at a time during the film. It seems that Bigfoot is only in the movie to spice it up when things start to get really boring with the endless philosophical exchanges between the two sides. One of my favorite exchanges, or meetings of the minds, is between the kidnapped Erin with the co-leader of the crooks who kidnapped her Kayla, Karen Kim. Talking about how they were abused by their ex-boyfriends Kayla shows Erin her battered and scared behind as if to prove to the unmarked and beautiful Erin that she by far got the worst, beating by her boyfriend, of it.The Bigfoot, or Tiny Ron, himself does what best he can with his part in the movie but is given so little time to do it, despite being the star, that he's relegated to nothing but a cameo role in the few scenes he has in the movie. The few surprises in the film that had mostly to do with the old and grizzled "White Hunter" & "Indian Scout" Eli Van Cleef, Tim Thomerson, came across so flat and uninteresting that when they hit you, after Ol' Eli was completely forgotten about, they had absolutely no effect at all!

My wife and I watched this movie and I cracked up through the whole thing because of the wonderfully bad acting. The 3 older gentlemen were good character actors, but for the rest: I've seen less ham on a hog lot. As for the "beautiful hostage", I was cheering for bigfoot to rip her up - just punishment for her acting abilities - but, alas, it didn't happen. If you have a Saturday afternoon to waste - like we did - it will surely bring a lot of laughs. I was done with my opinion, but apparently there is a minimum amount of lines for this site - how stupid (go ahead, ban me) - but let me go on to say I wouldn't pay money to rent this movie but I have always been a fan of the bad acting genre - this movie rocks in this respect. Back to the beautiful hostage, her obvious assets on her chest must have been the cause of the R rating. Unless, of course, silliness rates an R.
