★★★★ · The Bigfoot Feel · ichabod82 · 2014-01-23
I would say this movie has a little more what you like to see in a Bigfoot movie. The scenery is nice and the characters hold your interest. Not many scenes where the creature shows up, but when he does, it's intriguing.
★★★★ · CHeeze · fullflavor34 · 2022-11-30
The actors done as good as they could with the script but you don't have to look any further for the cheese in cheesey a fair movie if you have nothing to do but be warned Plan Nine from Outer space has competition...
★★★★ · Jan's comment · phantomofkrankor · 2014-01-22
Hey Jan--unlike everyone posting opinions of films here,you actually got to be in one-- I think that's great! Count me as a fan. And this film is not at all bad, feels more like a documentary. The amateur production values work toward that end.
★★ · Painfully slow, just a bad film · aaronsomek · 2018-10-25
I'm a huge fan of old schlock monies but this one was just painfully slow. The acting is dire and story is... wait, was there a story?
