Reviews
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
borden721 I'm a huge fan of Bigfoot movies and I love Lance Henriksen and Tim Thomerson who are in this film. I really expected something decent, something watchable at least. Very sad to say 'Sasquatch Mountain' isn't watchable. Steven R. Monroe managed to make one of the worst horror films in history. The plot is promising, we have gangsters who just robbed the bank and because of unfortunate crash, they ended up in the forest, running from the steel hand of love. There is a whole bunch of characters walking around the woods for various reasons, none of them are really likable and acting is probably the best part of the movie. I mean we have Henriksen and Thomerson in a really good performances as they always deliver, no matter how crappy the film is. We have Cerina Vincent who became some sort of 'Scream Queen' lately and while she is pretty, she has not much acting talent to be honest with you. The rest of them(actors) are rather weak and forgettable but at least they don't behave like amateurs. The biggest disappointment for me personally was a Bigfoot. It was a man in the costume which is always great but the design was just awful. It looked like a poor man's Chewbacca, behaved like a retarded. The whole film sounds and looks like SyFy Channel and I know they screened it. The script is weak, music is forgettable at best and it just follows all the clichés from the other movies. Can't believe they actually spent more than 300k on it as it looks nothing but cheap. As a Bigfoot/horror movies lover I can easily say that it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
leader-16 OK so we all know its a SCIFI film so its gonna be cheesy like allot of the scifi movies. But this one wasn't. it was actually a very good movie. i agree with allot of you, when you expect a Bigfoot movie you expect to see gore, the beast killing all the minor actors and leaving the main ones alive. And this one didn't have any gore at all, i was disappointed because i love gory movies. Now i haven't seen any other Bigfoot movies but one Bigfoot hunters. which was your average Bigfoot movie gory, all the minor actors die, they barely escape the Big foot's grasp. But out of ten i would rate this movie nine out of 10 simply because its one of the better Bigfoot movies out there and the acting is good. Being a Bigfoot believer i enjoy these movies and even if they are bad I'll still watch it. so ending with this note, if you don't believe in Bigfoot fine, but don't go around saying that its all a hoax when you probably don't even know what your talking about, just because there have been hoaxes in the past does not mean that they all are hoaxes so just shut your mouth and let the people who are into this kinda thing to enjoy Bigfoot.
Paul Andrews Saquatch Mountain, also known as Devil on the Mountain which is what I saw it under, is set in a small rural backwoods American town where a young woman named Erin (Cerina Vincent) is drifting through on her way to a new life somewhere, not that that matters though because while driving along Erin is involved in an accident with a gang of bank robbers lead by a guy named Travis (Craig Wasson), in an ensuing gunfight with the local Sheriff (Rance Howard) the gang kidnap Erin & flee into the forest with the local law enforcement in close pursuit. However there is something that lives in the forest, something that isn't human & the crooks & police are forced to work together to try & survive, but is it enough?Directed by Steven R. Monroe Sasquatch Mountain is a pretty terrible film all round almost as if there weren't enough really bad low budget horror films already. The boring script by Michael Worth takes itself far too seriously & tries to mix the basic 'criminals on the run encounter all sorts of horrors' taken from From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) & the basic killer Bigfoot scenario from the much, much better Night of the Demon (1980) both of which I think are throughly excellent films by the way & a hell of a lot better than Sasquatch Mountain which is crap. Anyway, there are lots of problems with Sasquatch Mountain, from the basic concept which is pretty bad in itself to the truly awful character's including a getaway driver for a bank job who would rather go down on a pretty girl than actually wait outside the bank (actually when you put it like that...) for his mates who are shooting the place up, then there's the inevitable in-fighting & petty arguing rather than working together as a team to survive & an annoying British guy who I just wanted to die. I have to mention the ending which is terrible in itself, I think it's meant to be all 'emotional' but it comes across as just embarrassing. Then there's the fact it's incredibly dull, boring & predictable, not much really happens & there's an unforgivable lack of horror or gore or anything that might keep you awake. It's all rather obvious, it felt like the thing went on for hours & in my opinion it basically has zero entertainment value.Director Monroe makes this thing even more annoying to watch as he uses all sorts of editing tricks like most of the time when the creature is on screen the picture goes very blurry, he uses slow-motion, there's some highly annoying & somewhat dizzying shots where he insists on spinning the camera 360 degrees around people for little reason, the whole film seems to lack colour so it's quite drab to watch & the creature ends up looking like a gorilla more than anything else. Forget about any gore as there isn't any.With a supposed budget of about $800,000 the makers of Sasquatch Mountain didn't have the biggest budget ever but having said that it's still a terrible film. One of the most disappointing things about Sasquatch Mountain is that the always fantastic Lance Henriksen is in it, the guys just class, he deserves better & it's a shame that he's making films like this. Apart from him the acting from everyone else is poor.Sasquatch Mountain is a terrible straight-to-TV piece of rubbish that I got no enjoyment or entertainment from at all & it's as simple & straight forward as that. One to avoid.
Asteri-Atypical Some movies make you think.Some movies make you laugh.Some movies are guilty pleasures.Alas, this is not any of the above.Yes, Sci-Fi Channel is continuing on its mission to re-define "Science Fiction" as "brain-dead horror aimed at 9-year-old boys who find pro wrestling enjoyable".The plot of Sasquatch Mountain is beyond stupid. Was it envisioned by someone deluded enough to find it quality? Or was it envisioned by someone who was selling out to an idea that a substantial number of fans WANT this drivel? We have become stupid enough as a nation without Sci Fi Channel trying to dry up what's left of our brains.Oh, yes - DON'T BELIEVE the evaluations written by LIARS who are somehow invested in the movie PRETENDING to be fans who actually enjoyed it. First clue - these people voted this movie a 10/10. That's impossible. Even someone who is a fan of this kind of lunacy would never consider it among the BEST movies around. Don't believe the liars.
