Tockinit not horrible nor great

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Michael_Elliott The Mysterious Monsters (1975)** 1/2 (out of 4)Peter Graves narrates this documentary that takes a look at several mysterious creatures but the main focus is that of Bigfoot. The film uses interviews with people who have seen the creature, scientists as well as re-enactments to explain why so many feel that the legendary creature is real. Throughout the 1970's drive-in screens were full of documentary or doco-dramas that tries to explain why so many monsters were real and out there to be seen. It seems Bigfoot was probably the most popular of these monsters and this here is certainly a memorable one. I think the film's strongest point are the re-enactments because several of the Bigfoot costumes look extremely good. I really liked the look of the children creatures that are shown towards the end of the movie and several of the adult ones also looked quite good. Another major plus is of course the narration of Graves who was simply a master at using his voice. Other creatures are also looked at with the Loch Ness monster getting about five or so minutes worth of footage. The documentary also wants to make it clear that there are common animals that were thought to be extinct or not real including the giant panda bear. There are certainly some major problems with the film including the pacing, which is a bit rough but this here is only a minor thing. Some of the stories also goes against one another including one fact saying that the creatures mostly sleep during the day yet most of the re-enactments are encounters during the day. Still, fans of the genre should enjoy watching this one.

AaronCapenBanner I enjoyed this documentary style film for what it is; an interesting bit of nostalgia. Peter Graves hosts, quite capably, as he presents re-enactments of people's encounters with Bigfoot, as well as the Loch Ness monster. It is odd that, despite the title, Bigfoot is the primary focus here, and that is reflected in the on screen title as well! Biggest demerit is how it uses far too many close-ups of the Bigfoot costumes, which do not bear such close scrutiny. They should have been kept in the shadows more! Still, this started off the Schick Sunn Films series of paranormal documentaries that were popular in the 1970's.On DVD in a grainy print, but that is better than nothing!

dbborroughs One of the handful of truly good Sunn Classics films (many are entertaining even though they aren't very good) about Bigfoot and tangentially some of the other monsters of the world (the Loch Ness Monster). Filled with actual interviews and some recreations this is a solid, look at the question of monsters in our world. It's a nice, and for the most part un-sensational. Its actually one of the few films on the subject that one should really see since it's a good overview. The best thing I can say about the film is that when Bigfoot or other mysterious monsters are mentioned a good number of my friends mention this film. "Hey remember that movie with Peter Graves". Everyone seems to remember this, I'm guessing because its informative and entertaining. Very much worth a look

Kevin Brown This is hands down the best documentary I've ever seen on the subject of Bigfoot, Nessie and the Yeti. It isn't like the more recent ones that say the Patterson film was a guy in a monkey suit, without explaining how the tracks of the creature in the film clearly showed it to have weighed almost a thousand pounds! (I guess that little discrepancy didnt need explaining) Anyway, if your interested in the subject at all and you can find this movie its a very good film and I highly recommend it.
