The Geek (1971) 1/2 (out of 4)Hilariously awful film about six scientists (three women, three men) who go into the Oregon woods to try and locate Bigfoot. After walking, walking and walking some more, two of the couples end up having sex. The next day they head out into the wilderness (probably the director's backyard) where they run into Bigfoot who wants some sex too.THE GEEK is an outrageously horrible movie from start to finish. It was edited down to 14-minutes for a Something Weird Video extra but the complete version clocks in at 49 -minutes but even this one appears like it could be missing some footage. This movie is just awful all around and there's really nothing good to say about it besides the fact that it gets so awful that you can't help but watch and once Bigfoot shows up things get so stupid that you can't help but laugh.As a porno the movie is quite awful because most of the "action" takes place off camera and it seems like the director really doesn't know how to film the scenes. I know this here was before the "golden age" of porn but the sex here is just ugly, poorly filmed and certainly not erotic. The first ten-minutes of the film pretty much shows the six people walking but we get some pretty funny scenes like when the women go searching for firewood and find a pile of wood that was obviously just put there since it's in the center of a field. Another hilarious moment happens after the second sex scene in the tent where the guy admits that he was a virgin. The girl asks if he ever came close and he says yes when his 15-year-old sister let him feel her breast. Then, the woman, asks if he could have gotten anything more out of her!!!! What on Earth were they thinking? Once Bigfoot shows up he decides to get in on the action and rapes a couple of the woman and fights the men. The two rape scenes are both towards the softcore but I'm curious as to why the women just lay there and take it. There's never an attempt for them to fight Bigfoot off. While they're being attacked, the men are basically just watching without much thought. THE GEEK is without question one of the worst movies ever made but at the same time it's so bad and so stupid that fans of bad cinema are going to want to watch it. Bigfoot didn't use protection or pull out so it's too bad we never got a SON OF THE GEEK.
... View MoreThis movie is really erotic, I mean, it really nice to see a movie SO good that no one wants their names attached to it. It really is a site to behold. I loved it all the erotic lecture on Bigfoot, the stimulating scenes of human love making, and the big finally, the arrival of the big man himself in all of his homeless glory. The only bad things I can say about it are the cliffhanger ending and that big feet doesn't mean big chickens in this pineal of the fine arts. If only the creators made a long string of sequels because this could have been a long lasting franchise that could have made as much money as the new batman trilogy. I love this film and I can't wait to see a remake if it ever comes out.
... View MoreThe Geek (1971) Genre: Adult / HorrorSynopsis: A group of tree huggung hippies search the Oregon forest for signs of "The Geek"and to film it. Along the way they get busy with each other and learn the hard way that Bigfeet need love too.My Thoughts... I guess calling this the "Citizen Kane" of Bigfoot adult films may be stretching it. It has everything going against it. From horrid stock music to crap acting "The Geek" certainly has more sin behind the camera going for it than in front. Man did that Bigfoot costume look like it was scrapped up off a country road somewhere. Fans of the craptastic may enjoy a little hardcore Bigfoot action but most will shaking their heads why?Rating: Liked It
... View MoreThis astonishingly woeful no-budget early 70's porno atrocity might very well be the worst Bigfoot flick ever to disgrace celluloid. This singularly horrid groaner begins with a blurry, barely in focus, hard to read opening credits title card that clearly establishes the freakishly feeble messed-upness that's tenaciously sustained from ghastly start to hideous end. The story once more is your standard "here we go again" trite premise of six coed (and decidedly libidinous) young adults wandering into the woods in search of you-know-who. Forty murderously protracted minutes of preliminary copulation ensues, followed by a last reel ten minute appearance by unquestionably the sorriest, most abjectly unconvincing Sasquatch to ever haul its pitiful raggedy butt in front of a camera. This miserable monster is a laughable sight to behold: he's a hulking, heavy-breathing, repulsively greasy'n'grimy grungeball biker type with out of control shaggy hair, black shoe polish covering his beefy face, a nastily frayed, tattered, beaten all to hell fur coat and a puny penis hanging out of the open zipper of his filthy brown corduroy pants! Bigfoot proceeds to wearily sodomize two ladies in a pair of harsh, but thankfully abbreviated rape scenes that almost put the infamous ventriloquist dummy sexual assault sequence in "Black Devil Doll from Hell" to shame as far as severely twisted and depraved cinematic misogyny is concerned.Technically, this dud is borderline Doris Wishmanesque in its staggering ineptitude: the tunelessly droning orchestral sludge score, the limply staged, strangely unenergetic and thus totally unerotic sex scenes, lots of ponderously drawn-out trekkin' through the wilderness travelogue footage, the terminally clueless "I couldn't blurt out my lines or hit my marks with even the faintest hint of skill and ability"-style (non)acting, the scratchy sound, the obstinately stiff'n'stationary cinematography (what few pans and tracking shots featured herein are very awkward), the tin-eared dialogue (sample line: "*Beep* me now, lover! *Beep* me!"), the grimly spiritless, meandering and moribund pace, and the hopelessly listless, let's just get this sucker in the can perfunctory direction all ensure that this horrendous turkey is resolutely rotten in every conceivable department. Don't even bother giving this one a watch. It's not even fun in a so-shoddy-it's-sublime schlock sort of way. Instead it just plain stinks.
