OK, first let me set the stage by explaining that I happen to have a soft spot for cryptozoology, movies about monsters, and those really cheesy movies with terrible CGI where the monsters attack the people. I KNOW these movies are bad. And I love it. That's what I was hoping for when I rented this from Amazon. (by the way I was fooled by the falsely high rating into paying $2 for it, and I feel terribly ripped off.)
(note: if you were in any way involved in the making of this movie, please look away now because I am going to be honest and I don't want to hurt your feelings.) This was AWFUL.
This movie has a falsely high rating here. It is NOT worth 6.7 stars. It's not even worth 3 stars. Don't waste your money renting it. The three characters (2 guys and 1 girl, high school aged) try to follow in Blair Witch Project footsteps by filming themselves on an adventure but really spending the first 2/3 of the movie arguing with each other and acting like idiots. The two guys speak in such gratingly whiny voices (and with such horrific acting) that I want to kill them myself, rather than waiting to see if Bigfoot would do it for me. The girl's character is so aggressive and angry (and irrational) that it seemed like the only emotion they taught in her high school drama class is PMS-fueled rage. By the time the sasquatch finally made its appearance, I was too irritated to care.
I can't decide which was worse in this film: the voice acting...the physical acting (watching one of the male leads pretend to shoot a gun while lying on his stomach was utterly ridiculous--he didn't even look like he was shooting a squirt gun!)...the script itself...or the costumes which are SO bad they aren't even so-bad-they're-good. {Spoiler: Bigfoot (really, just a guy in an extremely cheap monkey suit from the 1960's) has rasta-style dreadlocks, including visible rubber bands!!!}
Bottom line: if the teens in this movie happen to be your children, or your niece/nephews, by all means watch it and tell them how great it was. If not, then avoid this steaming pile of sasquatch scat at all cost.
