Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Izzy Adkins The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
TheLittleSongbird There are worse movies from The SciFi Channel in my opinion, but that is saying very little in Sasquatch Mountain's favour. Lance Henrikssen and Tim Thomerson deserved much better but give good performances and the music(apart from the beginning where it is a little out of sync) has a haunting vibe and isn't too obvious. That's it. I do agree though that the monster is the most likable character of the entire movie and Cerina Vincent is gorgeous. Unfortunately, while it also looks decent the monster is severely underutilised and is not scary at all, and Vincent has none of the acting chops and charisma to match her beauty. A sad waste really. The rest of the acting is terrible, as with most SciFi Channel movies there is a weird mix of hammy over-acting and under-acting to the point of being non-existent. There is very little of an in between or acting that is right on the nose. The way their characters and script are written though do them no favours whatsoever though. When I said that the monster was the most likable character of the movie, that was very faint praise and hardly says anything. With everybody else, paper mache objects have more personality and likability than any of these irritating cardboard cut-outs that pass for characters here. The script is too much talk, that became increasingly lazy and senseless as it went along, it also does nothing to flesh out the characters or to make us care for them. The film looks incredibly amateurish, especially in the action scenes it looks really blurry. That way the scares are diluted and makes the action incoherent, also managing to waste the monster some more. The story has no sense of momentum, no thrills, no suspense, no surprises, no anything. Everything just felt predictable, bland and tedious, with the second half dragging so badly that the temptation to turn off was getting stronger and stronger by the minute. The action is not thrilling in the slightest, partly because of the way it was shot and edited and partly because it looked clumsy. There is an almost complete lack of gore, so the scare factor is very low(I'd say on zero and going down into the negatives) on the authenticity or genuine shock scale. When any attack happened even I could feel myself cheering, saying to myself one less character to try and care about. The ending also falls completely flat and emotionally it was insufferably cloying and in a way manipulative. In conclusion, outside of Henrikssen, Thomerson and the music, Sasquatch Mountain is a big huge mess. 2/10 Bethany Cox
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.
Ben Larson This film is definitely for those who want to see all the Big Foot/Yeti/Sasquatch films.Maybe it is also for a Lance Henriksen completest, if there is one. With over 180 appearances, you would have to watch a lot of cable to achieve that status.Certainly, seeing the Yellow Power Ranger, Cerina Vincent, was a treat. Or, maybe you wanted to see Little Opie's real father, Rance Howard. Let's not forget to mention former Miss Korea, Karen Kim, who was one of the robbers. 뜨거운 흡연!Sasquatch is played by Tiny Ron, whose 7 ft height has to really limit his roles. I wouldn't imagine he would ever star with Kristin Chenoweth.It tended to really drag in the second half, and there could have been a lot less talking, and a lot more Sasquatch action.
merklekranz Just when it appeared that "Abominable" would hold down the crappiest recent bigfoot movie award, along comes "Sasquatch Mountain" to claim the prize. Anytime the sasquatch is an afterthought, the acting is totally cardboard, and the script spews forth with endless meaningless dialog, expect bad news. Indeed "Sasquatch Mountain" is guilty of all of the above and more. The sasquatch looks like a dirty broom, and his attacks are filmed so rapidly that you will get whiplash trying to watch. Do not be tempted by Lance Henriksen's presence. This is strictly one of his "paycheck performances". As the DVD box says "believe the legend". Do believe the legend, but skip this abominable crap. - MERK
