saturday night sasquatch!.......2007-08-09

After viewing this movie,I'm convinced that movies are like books.They may work for some people but not another.Here is a perfect example of that opinion.Yeah,okay,the cgi was TOO cgi,but come,this is a movie about a big hairy,hungry sasquatch guys!If you 're thinking harry and the hendersons,well then,you WILL hate this movie!Here is good old fashion entertainment.I know other reviewers have bombed this movie,but I liked it.At certain points of the movie,when the expedition is walking through the forest,I got the feeling I'd seen the movie before.I remembered jurassic park,and the sound track helped to feed the sense along.Of course,the sasquatch is too cgi,and it can't compare to J/P.If you take this movie for what it's worth (entertainment)it won't bother you a bit...heck,you might even enjoy it enough to watch it again,I did!The acting is typical of the sci-fi channel,BUT...it can be over looked.What I want to know is,who had the idea that this was a documentary about bigfoot?!!!Come on mates,let's over look this,and enjoy the bloody movie!No one knows how sasquatch would react if it encountered us on his terms.I doubt,if it would be a warm and fuzzy feeling for us.From what I heard and read,the scream ALONE would makes run away from it...probably making US run away screaming like school girls!I have been open minded about bigfoot,the loch ness monster and yes,ufos.I still am and I hope someone will befriend me and help me along with my research.After all,we haven't really begun to complete our exploration of this big blue marvel.I can only hope that we will find an answer to all these mysteries,but I regress.This is a good movie to watch on a saturday night,see it for yourself.Break out the popcorn and soda,dim the lights and sit back and enjoy this movie!

NOT BAD AT ALL.......2007-06-13

Very good movie. We all have our likes and dislikes, and I like this one. The computor generated sasquatches for what I suspect is a low budget film really makes the film. One thing that has me a little confused with this film and other's of this type is when the the actors are in almost clear open ground with only a few trees and these big sasquatches can remain hidden only to appear from no where and the people didn't see the sasquatch coming and therefore they get their heads removed, maybe the director is adding a supernatural element to the move, then it makes sence. Having a big boobed blond in a movie is always a must...in every movie! ( SMILE )

For future sasquatch movies I would like the film makers to get out more and research the subject in greater detail, talk to people who have experienced the sasquatch and also search the web, there's plenty of information out there and use it, regardless of how strange the information may seem, this subject is after all very strange. Anyone with a few million to gamble with ?( SMILE )

No Wonder Sasquatches Are So Reclusive.......2007-04-22

You know, low budget doesn't have to mean lousy. Spending a Brinks truck-load of money never hurts when it comes to production values, but a little sense and decent writing would go a long way.

A group of scientists, forest rangers, and a blonde bombshell hanger-on march into the north woods to investigate the source of some big bones a museum uncovered. It finds a Bigfoot burial ground, disturbs it (not knowing what it was), and thus kindles the wrath of the big, BIG apes. But for pete's sake, the burial ground area is a plot about the size of my modest living room in between a few trees, with the "mounds" for these huge beasts being about 18 inches high. Couldn't the movie makers have at least spent a couple of hours piling some dirt up?

The dialogue is very trite, but that's not necessarily a wholehearted criticism. Most of us talk that way in everyday life. But would you natter on about who's at fault and the need for self-credit while you sling your firearm over your shoulder in the middle of the night with shredded bodies piling up around you? Or completely ignore the beastie who literally just seconds before turned the blonde babe into blonde hash so you can hug each other and express regrets?

The guns sound like wet ladyfinger firecrackers, the old cabin that what's left of the group takes shelter in looks about as sturdy as a cardboard box (and yet it's kept the sasquatches at bay for 90 years), and on and on.

Incidentally, the brunette scientist is both prettier than the blonde and has better legs. It's the latter's huge bust that not only gets everyone to talking, but must also have made the sasquatches wonder what was wrong with their own women. And of course, being a recently made movie means lots of potty-mouth talking which leads to its R rating. The language is basically the only big difference between this movie and the stinko horror films of decades ago.

Why can't I find a good Bigfoot movie.......2007-04-08

The idea sounded good, a group of people in the woods being stalked by a bigfoot, but the acting sucked and the night time scenes are impossible to follow. You can't tell who is who. I'd skip it.

Bigger budget and less monster would have made a better Sasqutch film.......2006-12-18

Sasquatch Hunters

A group of researchers and forest rangers hike into the dense Pacific Northwest wilderness in search of bones of an unknown primate thought to inhabit the area in prehistoric times. They discover a burial ground and bones. Huge bones. They also discover that the prehistoric primates still exist, and they are steaming mad.

Complete with a paleontology professor who shares a resemblance to well known cryptozoologist Loren Coleman, and a token hottie along for the ride to document their findings, Sasquatch Hunters is overall not a bad movie, but the CG monster effects leave a lot to be desired. Very poor visual effects.

A better creature effect may have been produced with good old foam latex and traditional makeup effects techniques, even simple puppetry with a monster head may have worked better in some scenes. The monster didn't always fit in properly with the surroundings. In fact, the film might have been more effective if less monster was shown.

The characters were decent, and the acting was okay for the most part, but there were a few stiff moments and downright dopey exchanges between characters. Nice cinematography though; nice locations and scenery, including the blond.

There were some pretty decent action scequences too, except for the unnecessary roll-shoot-and-run stunt performed ineffectively by one of the characters as he ran from one of the creatures. It was moronic because the sole purpose for that kind of move is to avoid being hit by bullets, and Bigfoot don't carry guns!

The scoring worked well in some spots, particularly the suspenseful, creepy scenes, but I think it was mostly overdone and very campy at times. Not the best score. It actually detracted from the film.

Those who hold the Sasquatch phenomenon close at heart feel the creature was wrongly depicted as evil, and that this film gives real Bigfoot (if they exist) a bad reputation. They feel that cinemagoers and DVD renters will be misled into believing Bigfoot are bad creatures, when in fact most people don't even believe in them in the first place. Hey, it's a monster movie, and there is really no need to worry about about Bigfoot stereotyping.

In all not a bad idea, too bad they didn't have a bigger budget. At times Sasquatch Hunters was a bit boring, but I must say that there were moments in which I found myself being somewhat drawn in to the story, and some of the back stories. It was an okay movie but for the reasons cited above I wouldn't watch it again.

We need someone with a bigger budget to tackle the Sasquatch idea.
