Good concept, poorly executed.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I recorded this movie off of TBS years ago & have just about worn out the tape from watching it over & over again. It covers just about everything you want to know about Bigfoot up until 1975. I would love to see Peter Graves do an updated version with all of the new info that has come out in the past 30 years. The Patterson Film is always the best part of any Bigfoot documentary. Even in 2005 there is nobody that has been able to prove that the film is a fake. I really don't see how anybody can think that it is a man in a monkey suit on that film. There is no way on God's green earth that somebody could have done that good of a job making a suit like that in 1967. Also, hoaxes are really hard to keep up for long periods of time because somebody usually gets loose lipped. Patterson died in '72 & swore on his death bed that the film was real. Bob Gimlin has said that he hasn't made a dime off of the film so if it was a fake, you would think that he would blow the whistle & then collect a ton of money going on the talk show circuit. Then there would be the guy who "played" Bigfoot. Bob Heironimus has said that he was the guy in the suit & was paid $1,000 to do it but never received his money so he started telling people around Yakima, Washington that he was Bigfoot. Until either Bob Gimlin says it was a fake or someone finds the "suit", I will always believe that that film is real.

...if you do a little research on the dying Brit, you soon discover that he was himself a hoaxer, while the man who made the "Surgeon's photo" was actually a very sober and upstanding gynecologist... and never given to hoaxes. Many Ness researchers don't believe the photo anyway, but not because it's ever been proven to be a hoax.It has not been.The "Loch Ness hoax" rumor is itself an urban legend, much like the so-called debunking of the Patterson Bigfoot film from 1967. A little research shows you that not only did the man (John Chambers) who was supposed to have faked the Bigfoot deny it to his grave, but the primary person who says he did it is filmmaker John Landis -- a known expert on simians, primates, and prehistoric humanoids... er, not quite. (Though he did make SCHLOCK.) Frankly, you only have to compare the Bigfoot material you get in something like MYSTERIOUS MONSTERS with the monkey suits on display in episodes of STAR TREK or KORG 70,000 BC from the same general timeframe to know that there's just no way any makeup artist from the time *could* have faked the suit! (Even the so-called "zipper" on the suit doesn't stand up to rigorous computer analysis. It's just a tuft of fur.)All this by way of saying: Watch THE MYSTERIOUS MONSTERS and don't be too quick to believe every dying British con artist you read about, or every B-movie director who insists they can analyze film better than naturalists.

This is hands down the best documentary I've ever seen on the subject of Bigfoot, Nessie and the Yeti. It isn't like the more recent ones that say the Patterson film was a guy in a monkey suit, without explaining how the tracks of the creature in the film clearly showed it to have weighed almost a thousand pounds! (I guess that little discrepancy didnt need explaining) Anyway, if your interested in the subject at all and you can find this movie its a very good film and I highly recommend it.

The movie, "The Mysterious Monsters", is a fantastic movie! It tells the story of the phenomenon known as BIGFOOT. From the beginning of the phenomenon to the current day (As of 1975) history, this documentary movie covers all of the bases! It uses eyewitness evidence, video evidence, film evidence, footprint evidence, as well as alot of other investigative techniques, to establish that our planet is in fact home to these elusive creatures. It asks the question, "If fingerprint evidence can be used to hang someone,why can't footprint evidence be used to prove the existence of someone?" And the evidence does in fact prove that these creatures are real. This is a very interesting movie, and if and when the day comes that Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster, who is also discussed in this movie, are proven beyond ANY doubt, this movie will make the headlines for being way ahead of it's time! It is a crime that this movie isn't available on video or DVD. It deserves to be! Check it out.
