wes-connors Urban legend "Bigfoot" is a mystery no more, introduced stomping on a bear hunter, before the credits. A towering ape-like creature, putting out humans like a cigarette butts is one of his (or her) favorite ways to kill. We're set in the appropriately-named Deadwood, South Dakota during a spring cold wave. Morning radio talk show host Danny Bonaduce (as Harley Anderson) pans "global warming" and promotes his upcoming "80s Flashback Music Festival." Neither bad weather nor "Bigfoot" killings will convince Mr. Bonaduce to cancel the concert. Former popular singer Barry Williams (as Simon Quinn) doesn't agree. Presently an environmentalist, Mr. Williams wants to stop the music...It's difficult to understand how people can make a movie this bad without trying. Bonaduce and Williams defy description; that two veteran actors could be so unappealing is astonishing. They were popular TV and recording stars on "The Partridge Family" and "The Brady Bunch" during the 1970s. Bonaduce is appalling, perhaps intentionally. Occasionally trying, Williams sings one song and Alice Cooper has a tiresome cameo. "Bigfoot" may have been angry because 1970s acts were headlining a 1980s music festival. The cartoon-like special effects and story are haphazardly presented. Appearing bored are co-star Sherilyn Fenn and actor-director Bruce Davison. Awful is too elevated a description.* Bigfoot (6/30/12) Bruce Davison ~ Danny Bonaduce, Barry Williams, Sherilyn Fenn, Bruce Davison

Icons76 I could not even believe (when a friend had told me) that, a once talented and promising actor, like Bruce Davison was supposedly now making movies with the infamous Asylum! Well, i was wrong (not to believe)! He was/is, indeed!Asylum is well known to be the Z grade studio of Tinseltown, that one Sy/Fy, in a terrible, worrisome self destructive path, decided to give most of his movies, to get made to! Now, i am not in the Industry, but i happen to love Cult Films! But, if there's something Asylum knows very well, it's just how to massacre scripts, directors, crews in horribly cheap movies normally cloned out from some -already- mainstream stinkers! There's nothing worst for an actor of a certain name, like someone wrote before me, to appear in these films apparently! They say it's like a sign of full demise! By having (or shall i say truthfully: by not having been able to finish watching, despite trying real hard!)"seen" a few of those movies,since i do genuinely love Cult movies, i finally realized how Asylum destroys any sense of creativity or visual style, in favor of some of the cheapest, quickest, most annoying, and wildly boring narrative's and filmmaking ever to be "green lit"! Plots normally are so bad, they offend to behold, often they do owe an utmost discriminative undertone that mines jokes so cheesy, you'd never even hear 'em, in the worst Spearmint Rhino's joint, you'd ever had to go to! A truly offensive jamboree of fallen stars trying to pay,i assume, bills and mortgages,involved in malicious nonsense,producers think they'll be able to fix later,and, with bad, real boring CGI! Forget Corman, or better, rent Corman, or some good, old Euro's Exploitation from 1970's/1980's,instead! This is biting me and worst than ever, Sy/Fy is killing us all (it's a very well known fact, among Horror's and Sci-F's aficionado's) with this choice to grant to Asylum so much of their production! Who's making choices over there?Can they not see clearly, maybe? Only "Cinetel" used to make movies as bad as the Asylum's! Yet, there are so many interesting new (or older) directors, and, so much product, out there, you know? Yes, i mean, when you go to Fangoria, or even to some little Horror Film Festival, you're sure to get to watch some of those little campy,little cult jewels, that strive to get seen, afterward, instead, since, we normally cannot find them anywhere later on, while,we must take in all this oblivion, on the other hand! Who wants to punish us so bad? Oh boy! Then (back to point one!),find out that an actor like Bruce Davison, was making movies at Asylum! And, before i get a hold of one, he's now even directing them? So, had to rent this one, since was hoping that, maybe Mr. Davison had gotten some power to make something, at least, fun to watch! Man, was i wrong? One more time, stupidity, flat cinematography, flat everything, are all here, back again, very punctual, as usual, and, served or presented, i should say, in a not even so deceiving DVD's cover, complete, of course, of the same horrendously filmed scenes of killings, you have ever had to witness, and, so laughably shot, they must truly have thought (like someone else has said already,anyway) that they could have rescued them, with some of the cheapest CGI ever, instead of providing some professional SFX's on set! Really, too bad! I'd rather not talk about the plot,in the respects of Mr. Davison, but, this is frankly too much to behold! These movies don't even have a little sensuality, there's always such a painful sense of "castration", at the end, you are just left with the memory of such an impossibly bad acting (Look, when they even happen to hire some talented actor/actress by mistake, you are sure that you'll just get to see them in the back ground, while, the real cheese balls will lead on, instead! Why is that?), along with the same freaky (those yes, those are truly freaky indeed!) feelings of having been robbed, one more time, of your money! These thoughts are pretty much all about what's left, recurring way too sadly, in your back head, after watching the Asylum's productions! That's it! Wonder what is Sy/Fy doing, too? Anytime they have something a little better, you are sure it's coming either from Lions Gate or After Dark! Come on, those ones, without being true "examples" to follow, either, are most of the times, at least, some kinky, guilty pleasures (to watch)!Asylum's are just dead, trite, frugal and even bigot plots, directed, and cast like if it all had gone too bad, awry.. Like watching Sherilyn Fenn, who once worked with David Lynch, trying to act a few lines in this, wasn't enough of a detrimental experience, already! OK, now, i will just stop! But, i just hope that both Mr. Davison and Ms. Fenn get soon better assignments! And for us, fans, what do i hope? Uhm, Well, the movies are actually out there, people! Let's go to Film Festivals or Midnight shows, and, we will find them! Let's! Truly! Anything's gotta be better than this, sorry! And again, sorry, but, i have tried, and now, truly way too many times, so at this point, my feelings are truly sour and hurt! I won't do this again! I just want to claim my right to good, old campy Horror, back! Please! And then, I'd like to ask Asylum to please stop to get those atrocities out! People are complaining Worldwide! Just watch out!

John Kirkby I'm not sure why I even wasted time watching this one to the end. Having done that though gave me a chance to be amazed at how many names were in the closing credits. The CGI rendering of the Bigfoot, explosions, fires, etc is about as lousy as is possible. The sound effects of the Bigfoot's steps regardless of terrain or speed are also ridiculous. I love most Bad movies in the sci-fi, horror, exploitation, etc genres but once in a while you come across one that is just plain 'total waste of time' kind of bad....and this one is one of those. Now this is a 'made for TV' movie which 30-40 years ago meant you should expect a poorly made one...but for years now that is no longer the case.

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.
