Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
May contain plot spoilers.This is another hand held film looking for Bigfoot and so far is the least worthy of the lot. Jim (Bryce Johnson) decides he wants to retrace the steps of an old sighting. Kelly (Alexie Gilmore) his skeptic girlfriend comes along so she can make annoying films. The movie is 80 minutes long with 73 minutes of boring filler material. Jim introduces the project and we get to see all four takes. Why? I have no idea. Then Jim interviews real people while Kelly jerks the camera while filming...Hey! just set it on the car! The interviews were very boring. Were these seriously written by Bobcat? They seemed like real interviews.- Yawn. That bookstore guy was terrible. This was far from entertainment.Then we had the long drawn out tent scene where they play "What's that noise?"The only real clever dialogue in the film was the "douche commercial" Kelly mentions in the beginning. You don't actually get to see Bigfoot, just a camera jerking around looking at the grass while someone makes idiotic gagging and gurgling sounds off camera. What was with the dirty naked woman?I really expected better from Bobcat Goldthwait.F-bomb, sex talk, nudity- brief female plus male (Bryce Johnson)
I must admit sometimes I like the found footage genre and sometimes I don't, this movie doesn't try to bullshit you with "this was found in the woods blah blah blah" but all the same, it obviously is and has a style about it similar to Blair Witch.Its about looking for Bigfoot and the movie starts slowly, and builds up throughout the movie to a final 20 or so minutes that were shot in one continuous shot (I think) - the acting is pretty good, the directing, the storyline, the filming & sound are all pretty first rate actually.Its well worth watching and I found the last twenty minutes pretty riveting and bought into the two main characters terror - Kelly's terror was especially good.
The reason for the score of 7,(higher then I would of given it) is for the most part, the two main characters. They were absolutely flawless in their roles. So VERY believable and realistic. Like other reviewers I agree that the first part of the movie did drag and would of benefited the film drastically had the build up been cut by at least half. Now the quality of the rest of this cinematic attempt is by and large very good. But as I am an avid camper and outdoors person, the tent scene did not scare me. Much of the non verbal sounds were in reality, what I have heard out in the woods. (Some wild cats sound like a baby crying, and racoons are notorious trouble makers) And the verbal sounds were just too obviously man-made. (my thoughts kept going to the crew off scene, and the many thousands of times as a kid that my friends, me included, did stuff exactly like that to try and scare each other while out camping) I suppose if camping and being in the wilderness and tent is something you don't do, this could be scary for you. It just made me laugh.
I enjoyed this one. I either like found footage or find myself shutting them off before I get a migraine. This was done very well. If this was done years ago I would have given it more stars. But it's not all that original. Not only is there a slew of Big foot movies out there but most of them are found footage one's. Goldwaith, known for his off beat antics in movies and standup, does a great job directing a serious horror-thriller. Have to give him kudos for stepping outside his comfort zone. He has talent beyond what we knew. If you're going to pick a Big foot movie pick this one.
