Reviews
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Borgarkeri A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Woodyanders Eager Jim (likable Bryce Johnson) and his skeptical girlfriend Kelly (an appealing portrayal by the adorable Alexie Gilmore) venture deep into the woods of Willow Creek, California to find out if stories about Bigfoot living in the area have any basis in truth.Writer/director Bobcat Goldthwait takes time to develop the main characters as people the viewer truly cares about, makes excellent use of the gorgeous sylvan scenery, and grounds the absorbing premise in a believable everyday reality. Gilmore and Johnson do sterling work in their roles, familiar character actor Peter Jason has a nice secondary part as folksy ranger Troy Andrews, and several colorful locals in small roles add a sense of authenticity. Moreover, a sequence which takes place inside a tent rates as a tour-de-force of slowly building tension, the growly sound effects are genuinely unsettling, and the grim ending packs a devastating punch. Evan Phelan's plain and unadorned hand-held cinematography provides a jolting feeling of intimacy and immediacy. A solid little scarefest.
leeroykincaid I rarely write reviews but I will make a sacrifice for the good of mankind. Life is short and you're better off staring into the wall or watching Oprah than this piece of crap. However, if you love watching interior of an occasionally shaking tent for 20 minutes, then this is the movie for you. This is even worse than Star Quest: The Odyssey and one star rating just doesn't do it justice - this one requires poop ratings.
Tina Willis The reason for the score of 7,(higher then I would of given it) is for the most part, the two main characters. They were absolutely flawless in their roles. So VERY believable and realistic. Like other reviewers I agree that the first part of the movie did drag and would of benefited the film drastically had the build up been cut by at least half. Now the quality of the rest of this cinematic attempt is by and large very good. But as I am an avid camper and outdoors person, the tent scene did not scare me. Much of the non verbal sounds were in reality, what I have heard out in the woods. (Some wild cats sound like a baby crying, and racoons are notorious trouble makers) And the verbal sounds were just too obviously man-made. (my thoughts kept going to the crew off scene, and the many thousands of times as a kid that my friends, me included, did stuff exactly like that to try and scare each other while out camping) I suppose if camping and being in the wilderness and tent is something you don't do, this could be scary for you. It just made me laugh.
Hezakiah4 Spoiler Alert if you can call it that !!I saw it was coming up on the idiot box so hit the record on the DVR. I hoped it was one of those movies that drags on forever then gets really good near the end,but this wasn't the case.Unless sheer boredom is your thing,let me boil this waste of screen down for you.Boyfriend and girlfriend drive to where the fake Bigfoot footage was shot.Stop and eat at burger joint, then drive into sticks to be confronted by some redneck looking yutz that won't let them drive down dirt road to spot.Boyfriend knows other road that goes partway there.Park and walk,Set up camp.Boyfriend goes swimming.Come back to tore up camp.Look around and get scared by a raccoon Wake up that night to noises and a whap on the tent. .Huddle scared til dawn. Try to walk out and get lost.Huddle scared in woods.Walk more and huddle scared in what looks like cave.Try to head out at night like they wouldn't get lost even more than when they tried in the daytime. More noises and flash of fat half naked woman.Attacked and beat the crap out of by what I assume is a Bigfoot since you never see the creature the entire movie.Boyfriend dragged away short distance and you hear his girlfriend yelling for help.End of movie.The description above is 10 times more exciting and entertaining than staring at this drivel for the better part of two hours. Go watch your dog scratch or soap bubbles pop while soaking dishes in the sink for a much better time.
