Not the best but not the worst. I've seen movies that are far worse than this and it's good in the beginning. However, the ending is lame. It loses all of its efforts at the very end. The special effects are not bad and there are some funny moments. But its not one where you can get into the characters or feel for them.The bully in the.film reminds me of NJ governor Chris Christie and they could of done more to show how a small town and limited law enforcement can run into problems with something beyond the normal. That something dangerous and fast besides deadly. You don't fight on your own.Besides getting knocked around you should dead by this beast! Even your neck snapped. So don't expect anything but a far fetch attempt. But of you're board and have nothing better to do. It has a entertainment value.Also, a 101 on how not to blow an ending and how to depict towns folk who hunt as morons. If anything the way this was done. They should of killed themselves before they got this far in life.Last thing, this also shows the ignorance of how a military vet is depicted. No research and thought put into the character or the folks. enough. Just kept it simple and in that way it was a fast pace film.But if you want something better see the prophecy where mercury is in the water and mutates a bear. That was better than this. Also, gives it a scary and more eerie take on how this could of gone, if followed In that kind of format.Just saying, just my 2 cents worth that's all & I wish you all the best.

I came across this one late night on a digital streaming service and gave it a try after watching one bad Bigfoot movie after another. I was pleasantly surprised with this one even though it is obviously a low budget production. The monster is actually pretty well done in terms of creature effects and costume. Some of the extras seem to be just residents of the town they shot this in but Bob Gray, who plays the sheriff was actually very good and the story is decent as well. The main actors playing the lead and leading lady are okay but its a good enough acting job to be watchable. Overall a good view if you can find it. I wouldn't pay the $80 bucks I've seen it advertised at for the DVD but a digital download or rental is worth the price.

Interesting twist on the Bigfoot legend. Instead of the friendly, forest dwelling, gorilla with a hearth, this one is kicking butt in the morning and taking names in the evening.The production is better than the budget would suggest. Pleasantly surprising acting by Bob Gray and the rest of the crew.After surviving a few low budget film projects, the overall quality of this film was outstanding. You're able to enjoy the story line instead of constantly noticing production defects.A terrific soundtrack from Michael Stanley, Second Shade, and other incredible musicians adds to the luster of this film. I look forward to watching it again.

I had a chance to attend a midnight screening of Bigfoot at local film festival here in New York. What impressed me most is that writer-director-co-star Bob Gray delivered a product far superior to the likes of, lets say "Sasquatch Hunters", on what I understand was a far smaller budget. Bigfoot is fun, effectively written and directed. OK, yes, it never fully escapes feeling like a B movie, but I think that's the idea. This movie knows what it is, a fun, at times campy, but always entertaining horror film about Bigfoot on the loose. The camera work is inventive, and some of the characters are far better performed written and performed than you'd imagine. In a supporting role, Bob Gray is terrifically cast as a county sheriff and friend of the lead. Peppered with some very funny moments, and effective suspense, Bigfoot is very much worth the watch.
