Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes
Sean Reynolds, a highly acclaimed investigative journalist (who strongly believed in paranormal phenomena), destroyed his career when the most watched episode of his reality show, based on paranormal phenomena, turned out to be a hoax. Sean saw a news report on a "Bigfoot Hunter" (Carl Drybeck) who claimed to possess the body of a dead Sasquatch. He believes Drybeck is a phony and decides to create a new show that reveals people's paranormal claims as hoaxes. Sean assembles his old film crew and heads to Northern California's "Lost Coast" to meet with and interview Drybeck. Obsessed, Sean is staking his comeback, his life and the lives of his documentary film crew on proving Drybeck's claim to be a hoax.

To me, this movie is perfection.
Don't Believe the Hype
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
A group of filmmakers go to make a documentary about a man who claims to have body of a Bigfoot but they find themselves in real danger.To director Corey Grant's credit Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes is one of the better made POV films, in the vain of Bigfoot County of the same year but even with its real life Bigfoot hoaxer Rick Dyer style element at the beginning it never manages to suck you in like REC, Exists, Devil Pass to name a few. It's not a budget issue either as similar films Grave Encounters and The Tunnel for example manage to pull it off it. For some unexplainable reason it just lacks that je ne sais quoi.Writers Bryan O'Cain and Brian Kelsey have all the element there it just never feels the full package. Naturalistic Drew Rausch is notable as Sean Reynolds, the producer who'll do anything to get the money shot and the rest of the cast are pretty convincing including Rich McDonald along with Ashley Wood who deserve a mention. Energetic actor Japheth Gordon scree time is minimal as he has the oomph to put the much needed spark into the proceedings.It's not a keeper but Grant's offering better than many of SYFy Bigfoot films, hopefully a sequel or remake would correct and inject that much needed Bigfoot magic.
I believe in karma.I sincerely believe that both the producer and director of this cheap, low budget, effects-skimping, Blair-Witch-style, horror fan deluding, intelligence-insulting piece of garbage will have 80 minutes chopped off the end of their lives.1. A shaky camera is NOT scary. 2. A flash of this and that (where you can't decipher anything) is NOT scary. 3. Lights going on and off are NOT scary. 4. Odd noises are NOT scary.The person who made the DVD cover pic should be sued in court for false misrepresentation. It is downright DISHONEST to have that pic!I refuse to believe that this film cost more than 50 dollars all told, to make.Shameful. Disgraceful. Criminal.
This movie tells the classic story of the viewer waiting for something interesting to happen. It's hard to explain how incredibly boring this movie is. The acting is horrible, full of over dramatization especially by the main character. It tells the story of how an angry sceptic documentary maker pays a lot of money to see a big foot body and ultimately finds out that big foot is here to protect us from some inter-dimensional bad guys that kills all his friends. You hold on after about a half hour thinking that you just might get to see a scary big foot. Nope, just shadows running through the obviously smoked machined in fog. (Seriously, you can see the streams of fog coming out of the machine; they didn't even wait for it to dissipate) There, I saved you an hour and a half, you're welcome.
Far from being an awful film, it certainly has it's merits. That in fact makes it a bigger disappointment.The acting is far too staged for this type of film, the hamming is way too put on. It's a constant break from reality which becomes very tedious. Too slow in build up, this is something that I don't usually mind but I had the nagging feeling that I wasn't going to be payed off. I wasn't wrong. The title of the film will leave a sour taste in the mouth of some people, I was pretty disappointed immediately after watching but on reflection I'm thinking it was pretty clever. The characters are just ridiculous, pathetic in fact. Less rounded more ill-written characters you will seldom see.OK the biggest sticking point, the afore mentioned lack of payoff. Throughout the film there are no clever clues, no sneaky sighters nothing. The usual bad horror film decisions from the main characters actually drive the story, this is a massive oversight as I think there could've been a real story to get you teeth into here. You're left with nothing by the time the credits roll, just a feeling of emptiness.Way below the bombastic Troll Hunter which it steals a lot from, could've been waaaay better.
