Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Looking for terrible horror movies on Amazon late one night, I was surprised to find this suitable looking candidate mention Ellwood City, PA in its description -- only a few hours away from me. (There is another Pennsylvania bigfoot movie, Suburban Sasquatch, that has begun to gather some an audience and some acclaim -- or rather, notoriety.) Encourage by this fateful serendipity, the night's film was chosen. It wasn't very good.In an interview with a local paper, the director said he tried to capture the character of Western PA. By my account he succeeded; the people, the undulated streets, the woods, well, it all feels like home. But other than that there isn't a whole lot going for this movie. Although this is a "horror-comedy" by some classifications, there is zero focus on the horror element. There are some horror tropes, and people get murdered, but there's no attempt to make it scary. Which is fine. But what is not fine is that basically any scene that's not meant to be comedy per se is terrible. The bigfoot attacks and dramatic scenes are devoid of tension. That's the kind of thing that's not easily forgiven for lack of budget or being a B-movie spoof.What you get in this movie is mostly people standing around cracking jokes that sometimes hit and mostly miss. The actors are passable; I don't recall anyone being particularly incompetent. Oh, and the creature is surprisingly good looking, not at all what I was expecting. Come to think of it, there was a gore scene that also had a disgusting effect. Maybe that's where most of the budget went?Anyway -- this isn't offensively bad. I can see people with a less uptight sense of humor enjoying this, probably with drinks and friends. Personally it's not for me.

BIGFOOT THE MOVIE is a shockingly terrible attempt at a comedy horror movie, funded by Kickstarter no less (what a shame that the donated money couldn't have gone to some genuine causes). I feel like the backers should have been refunded as this is total trash, amateur hour all round. It's basically a redneck comedy with a ton of unfunny humour, a barely-seen Bigfoot creeping around the scenery, and more bad hairstyles than you can shake a stick at. It truly is a film with no redeeming values.

Acting was great - especially the 3 main jagoffs. The cinematography was well done. The bigfoot creation was real enough for this type of production (better than most). If you're looking for a serious bigfoot movie or riveting suspense, this isn't it. It's a hell of a good comedy, and even better if you're from Southwestern PA.

For a budget of $100k, mostly raised on KickStarter, it hardly showed in the final product. Sure, some of the secondary actors might have a little stiff in their delivery, but the big four of Curt Wootton, Jared Show, Nathan Magill and Joanie Dodds really delivered the laughs.Wootton and Show did a fine job with the writing of a comedy/horror pic, which they described as "a love letter to western Pennsylvania." With all the big actors from the area, I had been fascinated with the idea of a movie shot in Pittsburghese, and I'm sure that all a'yinz will agree that these guys pulled it off.A hilarious, campy take on the people and horror movies they grew up with.
