Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) The title "Bigfoot" here says exactly what this very short film by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin is about, namely the mythical creature that many people don't think exists. This film here is one of the main arguments for the existence I guess as in this under-one-minute film we see a hairy gorilla-like creature not too far away from the people filming. It walks by, takes a look in the camera and moves on. That's all there is and it is enough to be among the more known amateur films, especially if we restrict it to documentaries, here on IMDb. But why not? We will probably never find out the solution if this was really Bigfoot, if it was a prank or if it was staged by Patterson. He died an untimely death from cancer not much later, so he can never tell us. And if that really wasn't a human being in a costume, then chances are high this one has perhaps been dead for as long as Patterson. But it sure got him enough attention I guess. All in all, because you really don't see much at all, I cannot give it a positive recommendation, but if you have an interest in mythological creatures, especially the really not many from our time, then feel free to give it a go. It's just 50 seconds or so anyway.

Postal_Dude_Paradise_AZ But a fake of course, there is no Bigfoot, there never was. Still i understand all this comments about being true because i do like to fantasize about stuff, much like when you play a role game, so it's OK of course for people to believe this. I wish it was true bear in mind! I'd love it if such a thing existed, of course it doesn't. With today technology there is no way a civilization of ape like humanoid could keep hidden, it would have being discovered long ago. The fact that there are no clear footage of the creature but is always a crummy disturbed image proves that Bigfoot doesn't exit. But i repeat , it's OK for you to believe in whatever you like so no harm done.

Shawn Watson You know what this film is, you've seen it on The Discovery Channel or a Sci-Fi Channel documentary. It's the one with a Bigfoot walking into the woods while constantly looking back at the man with the camera. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin, the men behind this little miracle, were out in the wild forests of Northern California looking to capture the mythical creature on film. By sheer luck they did.While coming upon Bluff Creek, both horses they were riding on were startled by a dark figure in the distance. Patterson immediately got out the camera and captured 952 precious frames of the figure which turned out to be Bigfoot. Apparently it was cleaning food on the rocks of the creek before being scared back into seclusion.Skeptics love being skeptics. One can watch this film with an already non-believing eye and see only what they wish to be proved a hoax. But this film has never been proved to be a hoax. Or real for that matter.Patterson was not a rich man. And therefor the possibility that he had this suit made seems a bit far-fetched. Plus the creature was well over six and a half feet tall. And it's arms were longer than a human which is pretty hard to fake in a suit. Plus there was muscle texture, breasts (it was female) and a possible hernia on the thigh. To have all of these on a suit that no one has been able to prove is a fake back in 1967 made by a guy with little to no money doesn't seem likely. And if it was a fake then where is the suit? It would be worth a pretty penny today.But you also have to consider Patterson's luck. I mean he did set out to capture Bigfoot on film and through a one in a billion chance actually did. Well, most people venturing out into the woods to find Bigfoot are going to bring a camera right? It would always be a one in a billion chance of coming across one. Not just sheer coincidence that a camera and bigfoot come together. They are both there for that purpose. Patterson also had many scientists and film technicians analyse the footage. Which would be pretty brave for a man who has simply played a prank on everyone. Sadly, Patterson died in 1972 and since then Bob Gimlin has only suggested once, in a roundabout way, that the only way it would be a fake is if Patterson staged it all without his knowledge. But considering the points above, I think it is for real.Personally, if there are Bigfeet, Sasquatches, Skunk-Apes out there I don't want any REAL conclusive evidence of them as it would be another thing that Mankind destroys.May Bigfoot live forever in uncertainty.

prizm632 No one has ever proved this film to be a fake. There were no deathbed confessions and the recent reports that a famous Hollywood make-up pro had created and worn a monkey suit were revealed to be false.If it was some guy in a suit, Bob should have shot the idiot and settled it one way or another.The film stands as a litmus test. If you would like to believe there are apes in North America, it is compelling evidence. If you tend to reject such notions, you see a guy in a gorilla suit.Personally I like the idea that we have not quite figured everything out yet. Unfortunately, the true skeptics will never believe it until some hunter does indeed shoot one and we have it on a slab.
