Purely Joyful Movie!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

View MoreGreat story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
View MoreReviews Of Unusual Size!Re: Sasquatch is killing people in the woods, so a few drunk hunters and stereotyped high school kids decide to dink around in the woods for an hour of my life.Outstanding: The Bigfoot costume was pretty decent for a B-Movie.Unacceptable: The music was overbearing, the acting wooden, the story non-existent and even worse, the whole shambling mess was as boring as watching plaster dry in a footprint casting.Summary: It's a bad sign when the most charismatic actor in a movie is the "blond bimbo" whose only purpose is to take her clothes off and act as a plot exposition device. Which would have been fine, if the Sasquatch had been cooler or acted less randomly. And really? The native American deputy was named John Eagleheart? Was the name Indian Plentywampum already taken?1/5
View MoreAnyone who approaches a movie based on Sasquatch must know:1) It is not going to be a large budget film 2) There are not going to be any recognizable stars 3) Nothing in the movie can be construed as complete fact 4) It's not going to win any awardsThus, a movie such as this needs to be approached with an open mind and low expectations.I read one good review here when I saw it was going to be on Showtime Extreme (542 on DirectTV), so I decided to watch.What I saw was somewhat interesting. The acting was not bad and a few actors actually did a really fine job. On top of that, there was a good mix of some light-hearted humor, a couple times I laughed out loud, not out of sheer stupidity, but original humor.The movie could have done less with the stupid rednecks. I did like the close-up scene with the bear, and not knowing what Sasquatch truly looks like, I had no problems with what I saw. I guess if people go into this with high expectations, they're going to end up disappointed, but if you take it for what it is, it's not a waste of time. I could see Hollywood making a larger budget film out of the Sasquatch legend and put a couple (somewhat) big(ger)-named actors in it. I mean, if some hacks can make the Blair Witch Project and manage to turn that pile of crap into a blockbuster smash, why not something that has some plausibility?I gave it a 7 because I want to help see the rating of this film climb. I probably do not think it deserves more than about a 5 of 10, but it's certainly better than 2.3.Like someone else said, grab a girl, and cuddle up with some popcorn. At times she'll hold you close, and other times you'll both laugh together.
View MoreThis movie is different then most monster movies. You actually like the monster and understand its motivations. In this one it was protecting it self and a dead companions last rest. The poachers are from the beginning are people you hope to see die, especially ED. This movie also is different in that it did not rely on CGI, sex, nudity or extreme gore to sell it self. The narration at the beginning and end of the movie is also good and fit well into the movie. The Bad guys all die in the end though not in the way you expect, the four kids all live along with the ranger and instead of jumping on the band wagon they have, they sit back and let it pass, showing much more maturity then many adults. The characters were believable and well played. Comapred to many "bigfoot" or "monster" movies this is a prize worth seeing. That is unless you are looking for sex, nudity, gore and a mindless script IE ATTACK OF THE SABARTOOTH and others.
View MoreSteer clear of this piece of junk- it's made for television quality all around with horrible special effects, dopey plot and uninteresting creature. They couldn't even get the sexuality of the campers to be interesting. This movie fails on all points it's a story about sasquatch being pi$$ed off and killing people in the forest and people continually testing to see if that will actually happen. THose that test bigfoot wind up with sausages hanging out of their gut to simulate intestines that were ripped out. Almost scary. But really lame instead. Really lame. Super duper boring dull cast dopey story stupid effects lame. BOOOOo!
