Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
GL84 After crashing a music festival in South Dakota, a small band of locals try to put their differences aside and align with the local authorities to hunt the massive Bigfoot awakened by the concert responsible for the carnage before it's rampage escalates out of control.This here was an exceptionally cheesy Sci-Fi channel creature feature entry. The fun of this is made up by the film's large number of action scenes where the creature's on the loose and running wild on the citizens. Those start off rather early here with the opening rampage against the construction works in the middle of the woods as it rampages through the woods, a fantastically cheesy attack on the big music festival where the creature appears and runs wild on the guests and the later attack where the hunters get the drop with the higher firepower out in the woods as the creature starts tearing through the rest of the group on the ground. The scenes of it running wild in the town while the hunters come after it with a ton of big guns to shoot up the city as he wrecks cars and buildings in the midst of the gunfire unleashed against it before the large-scale confrontations with the military at the mountain hideout setting up a big finale that's pretty shocking for what's accomplished. Likewise, this also takes on the channels' other feature setup meaning this one is filled with all the usual hallmarks of such films with the shorter scenes here including the fine ambush on the hikers out in the woods and a later scene with the poachers trying to simply track it who run into the creature in the woods which all come together to make this one really fun and action-packed. Alongside the high body-count and the rather decent design for the creature, these here are what hold this one up over its few flaws. The main issue at fault here is the same problem usually found in these films which is the atrocious CGI work that pops up here, managing to come off really obvious about its usage. Since everything here involving the creature is done in CGI, there's always the fact that the creature never interacts with its environment all that much, it's jerking movements where it really seems to highlight the inability to move within its space which makes it look really obvious. The last part here that holds it back is the problematic story that has a couple of issues, in that it tends to put the events in the wrong order. There's no reason why the festival rampage, which should be the film's highlight, put half-an-hour into it as that really makes no sense nor does the inclusion of the hunting party which is placed near the end for some rather odd reason. The other big issue with that is some of the personal issues here are just lame and utterly innocuous points into it that are supposed to be character development pieces that don't have anything to do with the story itself and serve no purpose being there. In the end, it's really cheesy, but that isn't a point to hold against it.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.
wshumake Bigfoot can take its place alongside the great Bigfoot movies of the past such as Sasquatch, Abominable and Boggy Creek. Where Bigfoot can one-up them is with the amazing cast. Barry Williams and Danny Bonaduce are the stars. Howard Hessman and Alice Cooper are cast in supporting roles. The photography is quite good. The dialogue is to die for. Lots of little hidden references to Danny and Barry having known each other in the past that will bring a smile to anyone old enough to remember them as childhood actors. The CG for Bigfoot is not overdone making the monster fun and enjoyable. The story has a great message about the environment. Also the story allows even the bad guys to be fun. So why only an 8 and not a 10? It was good but not Sharktopus good. Still a great piece of entertainment! Thank you Asylum! Keep up the good work. I'd pick Bigfoot over Inception, Prometheus, or The Dark Knight Rises any day of the week!
jamesashman79 This is probably one of the worst pieces of television I have watched in a long time. The CGI is appalling, the physics of how the Bigfoot moves is comical and borders on stop motion quality.The so called "concert" has no more than 30 people in the crowd, and this is obvious from the camera shots, yet the dubbed sound suggests there are thousands in attendance. The stage looked like it was constructed by drunk children as well. And to think Alice Cooper made an appearance in this is just sad.The acting is ropey at best, the characters are unbelievable, The so called "master hunter" cannot even hold a rifle correctly.To summarise, THIS IS GARBAGE and should never have been made. Waste of time for all involved.
davidsmith666999 Quite possibly the worst TV movie ever made. The special effects Bigfoot reminded me of the Snow Monster from Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Only the snow monster was scary.While this movie was suppose to be cheesy and way out there. It failed on every level of film making. It was so awful even the editing sucked. The editing. Terrible script. Awful acting. Horrible cinematography. Dumb story. Cheesy special effects. There is not one redeemable facet of this movie. Worst Director of the year. I was embarrassed for everyone involved, especially Sherilyn Fenn, who I love. She was the only one I felt did a good job till she sprung into "action" halfway through. By that point I was laughing and gasping for the pain I felt for this group.Had they taken this garbage script and played it like satire, and went ten times over board on the set, it might have been so bad it's good.I'll never get out of my brain Greg Brady on that flying contraption. Oh, my God, what the hell were they thinking? While I understand actors need to act to put food on the table. I'm ashamed for everyone involved. Horrendous, simply horrendous.
