Simply Perfect
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
I was really disappointed with this movie. I thought if any director could make the concept of 'Sasquatch' frightening, it would likely be Eduardo Sanchez, the director of 'The Blaire Witch Project', and more recently 'Lovely Molly' and 'Altered' (all movies I highly recommend). After watching 'Exists', and 'Willow Creek' I think the idea of a 'scary' Bigfoot movie is impossible. If you are a fan of this sub-genre of movie and thought 'Willow Creek' was good (which surprisingly a lot of people seem to be of this opinion) than you'll likely enjoy this one as well. At least in 'Exists' we get to see Bigfoot, and the creature is impressive looking enough.The problem that plagues 'Exists' is that unlike 'Blaire Witch Project', the whole 'found- footage' angle seems really stretched here. In 'The Blaire Witch' we had students shooting a documentary film, which excused the hand-held POV angle, but in 'Exists' we get a camera- geek who conveniently comes along to stay with some friends at an uncles cabin. Even with today's culture, obsessed with selfies and posting every day routines and conversations on YouTube, it seemed rather forced that this character would not only have a camera for himself, but multiple devices attached to bicycles and from various locations around the cabin.Sadly, this is one of those movies that makes you understand why some people absolutely can't stand the 'found-footage' genre. I'm not biased one way or another, but one problem that I have with them is that for the most part, we almost always know from the beginning that the characters are going to die, so all we're left to wonder, is 'how' and 'why'? (the only exceptions to this that I can think of are 'The Bay' and 'Lake Mungo' which had a more creative take on the genre).
This hand-held-footage tale of a group of college-aged people on a camping trip being set upon by Sasquatch isn't great, but it does have its moments.Moments of suspense as they hear sometimes far away sounds, moments of terror as they hear Sasquatch growling and running toward them. One horrifying moment when we see what's his name trying to get away by racing away on a bike, and the creature running along side him, keeping up, with no difficulty. Also two moments of annoying behaviour from obnoxious characters, for no other reason than to have a pair of cheap jump scares within a couple of minutes' time (blasting the car horn, and then slamming the brakes) I don't have a problem with shaky cam, if it suits the plot of the film. My problem with it is that I think it's difficult to sustain a full length movie with it. The creature effects were decent, the acting was hit and miss, there was a bit of atmosphere in the shots of the cabin and woods, but I wonder if the film would have played better with some occasionally stationary camera work, with mostly just Sasquatch's scenes, and a few establishing shots presented as found footage? As it is, it seems like two thin ideas (found footage, and Sasquatch) mashed together and padded to full length. I agree with its 5/ 10 IMDb user rating.
First off, I jumped at least 3 TIMES while watching this movie. Three jumps gets it a solid rating right off the bat. And I feel I have to write this one to bump up the average of this good 'found footage' film. I know a bunch of the people connected with "Blair Witch' and I met Dan and (Director) Eduardo Sanchez at an Artisan event out in LA. Gregg Hale who was producer on this is a very talented guy. When BW was happening, George Romero was 'Artist in Residence' at Valencia Community College's Film Program. He was shooting a 'mockumentary' as they were called then, of a Big Foot being discovered and running amok in Central Florida, 'Jacoranda Joe'. I'm sure that's what inspired the Blair Witch guys to do the film that has created the FF craze and I'm guessing it inspired this film as well. This movie has a little more depth to the lead character and what ends up being a VERY convincing Sasquatch. A VERY, VERY, ticked off one, too. There's some depth to the story and some pathos, as well. I think it's high time to cut the Blair Witch crowd some slack and forgive them for having such monumental success on their first outing. This is a heck of a lot better than sparkly bottomed vampires and the now tedious zombie invasion. Definitely give it a watch!!!
Dora (Dora Madison Burge), Matt (Samuel Davis), Todd (Roger Edwards), Brian (Chris Osborn), and Liz (Denise Williamson) travel to an isolated cabin in the woods. They hit something on the road before arriving in their destination. Soon they are hunted down by a Bigfoot. Will they survive to the creature?"Exists" is one of those teen horror movies where the viewer knows what will happen and only guesses who will be the next to die. The story does not have originality and abuses of the clichés associated to an awful camera. The only "originality" is the Bigfoot, instead of a maniac, or a vampire, or an evil spirit, or a monster or whatever. The rest is the same, with characters taking stupid decisions or actions to die, like Todd screaming and shooting in the woods to attract the Bigfoot. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Eles Existem" ("They Exist")
