Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes Trailers

Sean Reynolds, a highly acclaimed investigative journalist (who strongly believed in paranormal phenomena), destroyed his career when the most watched episode of his reality show, based on paranormal phenomena, turned out to be a hoax. Sean saw a news report on a "Bigfoot Hunter" (Carl Drybeck) who claimed to possess the body of a dead Sasquatch. He believes Drybeck is a phony and decides to create a new show that reveals people's paranormal claims as hoaxes. Sean assembles his old film crew and heads to Northern California's "Lost Coast" to meet with and interview Drybeck. Obsessed, Sean is staking his comeback, his life and the lives of his documentary film crew on proving Drybeck's claim to be a hoax.

Manthast Absolutely amazing
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Michael Ledo A camera crew, with no benefits or life insurance, is on its way to film real evidence from a man (Frank Ashmore) who claims he has seen Bigfoot and has a BF body. Skeptic Sean Reynolds (Drew Rausch) leads this production in hopes of making a reality series out of it. He is accompanied by his producer ex-gf Robyn (Ashley Wood) who believes in earth mysticism. Darryl (Rich McDonald) is the cameraman who admires Robyn and Kevin is the nerdy sound man who "smells." He is also a Bigfoot believer.The characters and the dialouge I would rate as superior to most found footage films. Since they are filming for TV, the found footage aspect is above normal until the last 15 minutes of the film where they toss the camera around as much as possible for effect. This is the third or fourth film I have seen which duplicates the final scene of "Quarantine". Seriously Mr. Grant, all of us losers who still watch these crappy found footage films, have seen that scene several times before.As far as Bigfoot is concerned. Fear not. The special effects did not break the budget. You see more of Mr. B. Foot on the cover than you do in the film.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.
atinder Yeah,. yet another Big foot movie, which was made in the same year, almost came out at the same yime as well. I am Clad I saw the other before this one.I actually enjoyed this one much more then Bigfoot County (2012), This had bit more of a plot to it and even filmed better.I found the start of the movie very funny, there were really cool funny jokes that made me laugh out loud.There were very likable characters in this movie, you care for at all times, the movie dose not break any new grounds, in this found footage genre.I found that this movie flowed really well, with a lot of action in the movie, there were some good decent images of the creature, I say!But we never fully see the creature at all but we do see bit of the creature, we never really know if ig a who or what.There some decent effect in this movie, which I really liked and there were some bloody moment in here and there, but don't expected a bloodbath or anything really gory.I maybe I liked this movie more then I should ,cause of Bigfoot County (2012), which is much worse then this movie.I going to give this movie 4 no, I give it 5 out of 10
tmccull52 Although I didn't expect this film to be a top-notch horror flick, the more that I watched it, the less that I liked it. There were a few decent, if predictable moments, but for the most part, I found it to be more annoying that frightening or engrossing. The acting was passable, and the female lead, Ashley Wood, is physically quite lovely. Overall, however, I felt that the movie tried to introduce too many questions. Are there actual Sasquatches? Are they benign creatures that feel threatened by the intrusion of humans in their habitat or environment, or are they actually predatory and dangerous? Those questions could have been posed, and plausibly, to help the movie along. But when the bright lights began to presage or herald the presence of a creature, or creatures, that turned out NOT to be Sasquatches, the movie lost me. Were these supposed to be "spirit lights", which the Sasquatches were supposed to guard and protect mankind from and against? If so, they did a pretty lousy job of it.The impression that I got from the movie was that there were two species of woodlands beasts; the Sasquatches, and this mysterious other creature, which was shown to have hooves as opposed to hominid feet. My guess is that the true villain and threat in the movie came in the form of another mythical creature, the Wendigo, which is purportedly possessed of hoof-like feet, and is also supposed to be quite large.Whatever the case, if this was a "Sasquatch versus Wendigo, which one is it?" type movie, it failed fairly miserably, in my estimation. There were too many elements for which there wasn't even a hint of plausible explanation as to what was actually going on.Were there Sasquatches? The movie would suggest that there were, given that the female lead states at one point during the movie that she felt no menace when she was picked up and carted off by some mysterious creature. She says that she felt as though the creature, whatever it was, was trying to keep her from harm, rather than trying to harm her. When she does eventually get picked off, we see for the first time, the hooves of the creature that does do her in. The hooves are seen again at the very end of the movie; they are clearly not the feet of a hominid.So, was the menace a Wendigo? Who knows? Was it some space alien crytpid, whose presence was heralded by the intense white light evinced whenever it appeared to wreak mayhem and carnage? Again, who knows? In any case, I found myself not really caring one way or the other by the end of the movie.
ybmagpye I watched the movie, in hopes of seeing something interesting about Bigfoots, and anything at all on the Lost Coast, and I was wildly disappointed. Wildly bad acting and no effort at all to put forth an interesting plot line or anything different from the usual bloodbath that is spooky movie material for pretty much every scary movie I've seen in 20 years. If I wanted simply to see a bloodbath like situation, I could always just upend a bottle of catchup. The topic of Bigfoot is so wildly interesting to so many Americans, you would think someone would take making a scary movie about the creatures seriously. Oh well! If anything, at least The Lost Coast started a new trend, the blending of more than one genre in a single movie, that is, Bigfoot and Rosemary's Baby.
