This contains a minor spoiler, a reveal about a character which will come as no surprise anyway. But now you've been warned.I saw this horror film last night, and just found it to be amazingly inept. Even Lance Henriksen, who is an awesome genre player, could not save it.Very traditional setup of a group of people going to a remote place, to fetch something valuable. Very traditional cast of.. The experienced outdoors-man/guide. The adventurer author, who turns out to be a useless alcoholic. The rich man who pays for the expedition and turns out to have a hidden agenda. The woman who turns out to be more resourceful than we initially thought. The other woman, who didn't really have a function for the story, so why was she there? And the nerdy expert who knows how to operate the tech thingamajig they're looking for. The tech thingy is not a Hitchcockian mcguffin, it actually has a function for the story, so points for that.Oh, and there's a monster, which looks surprisingly good for a film that otherwise doesn't seem to even try. While watching, I was thinking that this should have been made in the 1950s. Then it might have some of that B-movie charm of those sloppy adventure-monster movies from that era. Bride of the Gorilla (1951), just to name one which is not good, but somewhat saved by the style of that era. As is, The Untold just creaks along, really predictable, bad performances, uninteresting dialog. You very quickly stop caring about all of it. The editing attempts to spice things up, but somehow ends up being lame and annoying instead.This one really has nothing to offer. Don't even watch it if you're a fan of Lance Henriksen. Being the consummate pro he is, he does a fine job of delivering his lines, and he makes you believe in his character. But that doesn't lift the film up from being intensely uninteresting. Skip it.I give it two stars for a passable monster, a functioning mcguffin, and Lance Henriksen. Take my word, it's not worth your time.

The Untold... Is one of the worst films I ever saw. The story really seems original, but it was badly bestow on screen. Lance Henriksen, a good actor, ended up in this crap. But, hey he made a lot of low budget films... you need to pay the bills, you know? Kidding. Lance is a great actor, but he ended up with this bunch of silly actors. Seriously, Andrea Roth was there just to have a nudity scene, and other actors... well they were just there. There was constantly a fade out-fade in editing, and that makes me sick! That was the most horrible move that just keeps on coming and it really makes you angry. It was also very predictable, boring and slow. It has a bizarre tempo that goes just... wrong.Can't say more... don't rent it, or buy it. You can watch it, if on TV.

This looks decidedly like "the amateur" hour. How this piece of trash was ever released is beyond me: the acting, the story, the characters, the supposedly special effects, etc...it's ALL wrong. Why Lance Henriksen accepted this will remain one of the great mysteries of cinema. Maybe he was in dire need for money or maybe be was under the influence of some illegal drug.It is pointless trying to explain you what this movie's about. It deals with the big foot legend but done in the worst possible manner. In fact, this stinker smells like a direct-to-video release.Avoid at ALL costs! 0* out of 10*

"Sasquatch" plays just like any regular Sci-Fi channel original feature.**SPOILERS**A plane crashes in the mountains of Northern Washington. Since his daughter Tara (Erica Durance) was on board, Harlan Knowles, (Lance Henriksen) heads up an expedition to go find her, but since he only knows his way around a board room, he hires experienced tracker Clayton Tyne (Russell Ferrier) and animal expert Winston Burg (Philip Granger) to help him. Guided along by Marla Lawson, (Andrea Roth) Nikki Simmons, (Mary Mancini) and Plazz (Jeremy Radick), they search in the area where she may have been lost. The forest starts playing tricks on the group, as they start to suspect that something may be after them. Hiking on with no luck, they seek shelter in a cave when a storm sets in. after it passes through, they head off again. Locating the plane but none of the passengers aboard, Marla discovers evidence that a Sasquatch may be responsible for the disappearances. Soon, they are picked off one by one, and only Harlan, Clayton, Plazz and Nikki are left. Even though they have proof of the animals' existence, they leave it so that they have a chance to escape unharmed.The Good News: One of the things I really enjoy about this movie is its really suspenseful attacks. The first one is really the highlight in the film. With one of the characters trapped inside a sleeping bad, they feel something brush up against them outside. Playfully thinking it's the crew-member who likes her, she gives him the cold shoulder, then is suddenly dragged out of her tent and pulled along for a short distance until it finally lets go. She looks up and doesn't see anything that could be dragging her. One of the good creepy moments in the film, as well as this tape that is used to verify that the daughter is missing. Also creepy was the handful of scenes where you could hear something in the jungle pretty away, and the reactions of the people to the noises. Even still, the creepier moments of the film take center-stage, as only two people are shown to be killed on-screen. The film also provides tons of clues as too what exactly is following them. From cave-paintings to pieces of debris found lying on the floor of the jungle to blood found on trees, there were plenty of clues needed for even Watson to deduce that it was a Sasquatch hunting the few people it kills. After all that, we do get some nudity to help smooth things over for all of us. They even kept the appearance of the creature a secret until the very end, so it wouldn't be considered a letdown when it shows up on screen.The Bad News: This really needed to let some of the cast members to die. Two on-screen kills aren't nearly enough to satisfy even a third grader. It had the stereotyped characters to kill off, yet it never even introduced them to danger in meeting the creature. That would've made their situation all the creepier. Had they actually been in a dangerous environment, I would've cared if they survived the trip, but as it stands, none of the characters are really that special.The Final Verdict: This really reads a lot like the "Creature Features" the Sci-Fi channel loves to showcase almost every week. The main difference is that the creature isn't shown a whole lot in the film. It has a lot more riding for it than against it, and is at least worth a look for those who are interested in the legend of the creature, as it is mentioned a few times in the movie.Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence, and Brief Nudity
