Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Awesome Movie

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Was intrigued by the trailer and amazed by the movie was really atmospheric and enjoyable Loved the forest picturization and cinematography The characters were fun and the gruesome factor spot on Only the ending was too predator like I wish this was a series instead of a movie so could be longer it was so good did not want this to end

Many gruesome & graphic deaths. The creature was brutal, and the practical effects for it and its killings were very impressive. It could have sacrificed some gore in place of some suspense though.The main characters were a bland couple, and the acting wasn't great there. At least the hunters were funny at times, and the sheriff was quite likable.The plot was fairly basic, but that was fine by me. They established the couple's back story efficiently and had them in the midst of things before I knew it, which I appreciated. However, although it picked up fast, it didn't really pay off. The third act seemed a bit dragged out.Still, it was enjoyable enough.

After reading some of the mixed reviews on this film, I figured it would be a wildcard. I am a fan of Bigfoot anything, so decided to give it a try. Yes, it is definitely the 80s gore type genre- if that is not your thing you may not enjoy this one. Considering the budget, I actually thought the interpretation of Bigfoot was creative - something of a Bigfoot-meets- Groot costume. All in all, I personally would have preferred a more subtle /eerie "stalked in the woods" vibe only. I felt like the role of the witch and amount of time the two main characters wasted arguing with the narrow-minded hunters early on just detracted from the story. Not the worst movie I've ever seen, but don't recommend planning your Saturday movie night around it. But again, that's just me. Just not scary.

Puzzled at the 1 and 2 star reviews. What did you expect? This a good throw-back creature feature with some really decent gore. Yeah, its a guy in a gorilla suit and the ending resembles Predator 1&2....so what? Sit back and enjoy some mindless entertainment.
