toadwriter Anyone who approaches a movie based on Sasquatch must know:1) It is not going to be a large budget film 2) There are not going to be any recognizable stars 3) Nothing in the movie can be construed as complete fact 4) It's not going to win any awardsThus, a movie such as this needs to be approached with an open mind and low expectations.I read one good review here when I saw it was going to be on Showtime Extreme (542 on DirectTV), so I decided to watch.What I saw was somewhat interesting. The acting was not bad and a few actors actually did a really fine job. On top of that, there was a good mix of some light-hearted humor, a couple times I laughed out loud, not out of sheer stupidity, but original humor.The movie could have done less with the stupid rednecks. I did like the close-up scene with the bear, and not knowing what Sasquatch truly looks like, I had no problems with what I saw. I guess if people go into this with high expectations, they're going to end up disappointed, but if you take it for what it is, it's not a waste of time. I could see Hollywood making a larger budget film out of the Sasquatch legend and put a couple (somewhat) big(ger)-named actors in it. I mean, if some hacks can make the Blair Witch Project and manage to turn that pile of crap into a blockbuster smash, why not something that has some plausibility?I gave it a 7 because I want to help see the rating of this film climb. I probably do not think it deserves more than about a 5 of 10, but it's certainly better than 2.3.Like someone else said, grab a girl, and cuddle up with some popcorn. At times she'll hold you close, and other times you'll both laugh together.

John Crane Yes, yet another movie about the infamous Sasquatch. However, this movie, despite its creepy video cover was not a creature feature but more of a conflict between man and man, or man and nature, not man and creature/animal. I will say that it had some pretty good elements and plot points but overall this movie was not that scary.The elements that made this movie work, to a point, was the scenery shots of the woods and the seemingly endless forest. They incorporated great sunsets, sunrises, tree canopies and a beautiful shot of the fog gently rolling into the forestry. These shots made for great establishing shots and transitional elements. The beginning of the movie, which was a montage of these shots, was a even greater ingredient because it had an Native Americana influence as well as a little back story of the Sasquatch, which not many movies have.However, there is a bad egg in this carton, or should I say a few. The main conflict in this movie was not the Sasquatch but in fact a battle between man and man, and teen and teacher. Basically a hunter is getting his revenge on the whole town because his friend died in the hands of that beast and he's just running around killing people because he's mad. It's almost funny and pointless. The conflict was weak and, at best, a humorous parody of typical forest-fright movies. The other conflict was a slacker teen who gets assigned a nature project because his teacher is mad that he's failing, so the teen is paired up with a brain and they run into Sasquatch. Again, a conflict between the teacher, the slacker teen and the geeky teen.The only time that you ever see the Sasquatch, or the only reason why he is even in this movie is just to stalk the teens and act scary, which he is not. Like I said, this movie could be considered a weak drama more than a horror, with great scenery shots. I would not recommend this movie to hard-core horror fanatics but for b-movie drama fans. Maybe even beginner horror fans this would be acceptable, but definitely not those who want the fur scared off of them.

lorenellroy "The Unknown " is not a particularly appropriate title for the movie as any experienced creature feature viewer will pretty much know what to expect virtually as soon as it starts .The set up involves a legend surrounding Echo Mountain where a mysterious Big Foot type creature is said to walk .The creature ambushes and slays most members of a small hunting party .This prompts the surviving member of the group to set up a revenge mission with some of his buddies ,to the displeasure of the local law .Also stumbling around on the mountain are a quartet of high school students seeking material for the term project on Endangered species ,and a Native American ranger The budget is obviously shoestring in nature but the director is able to disguise this by judicious camera angles and cutting .The creature is pretty convincing however and this does help .Variable acting and a rushed conclusion are downsides but if you approach this in the right frame of mind it is moderately satisfying and unpretentious movie making

Diaboyos This was obviously a low-budget film but even so it wasn't so bad. I've definitely seen tons worse low-budget films. This didn't have anything really special or outstanding to offer but with the money they had to make it they did quite well. The acting wasn't too bad. The sound could have been better but that's just because of the lack of funds to pad that area. The big foot costume could have used a little more work tho in my opinion. As well, the views when we were looking thru bigfoots vision were level with the top of a car and not of something 8 feet tall lol. This is worth a view if there's nothing better on but don't expect too much, just enough to pass the time.
