The Bigfoot Tapes. Having seen several bad Bigfoot movies lately I picked this up dirt cheap in the hope that it may buck the trend. Well if anything it took things to a new low!
Three people go searching for Bigfoot, filming every step (yes, this is yet another found footage movie, Zzzz). They hook up with Bible quoting local Travis but once he vanishes things go seriously bad.
Within the first few minutes of the film the "expert" on the subject incorrectly says that the Yeti is European. That gaff didn't bode well. There are obvious shades of Blair Witch here, only that was well done & this isn't. This film is incredibly boring and if it doesn't send you to sleep then the awful camera work will give you a headache. I think it takes skill to make an effective found footage, but this just belongs in the great pile of bad ones. In fact this is one of the worst examples that I've sat through. The only reason that I can see for this being BBFC rated 18 is for a scene of male rape.
An abysmal film, don't waste your time or money.

Contrary to what some reviewers write, the title is appropriate. The scares and dangers in the film come not from Bigfoot, but from the inhabitants of the area which is Bigfoot Country; the drug-dealers and other rural denizens of Bigfoot Country are the scariest things in those woods.I enjoy found-footage films, but this was boring. The protagonists, while not as annoying as in some other films of this type, still are irritating, what with their insipid dialog and moronic decisions. The cleverest part of the film is the final shot, a close-up of a dead protagonist while in the background Bigfoot walks by--oh, the irony! Unfortunately, I watched this after Wild Men which is a comedy/horror found-footage film about searching for Bigfoot that is much more entertaining. Bigfoot is the scariest thing in the woods in that one.

I cannot believe how they squandered the opportunity to make a truly good film. One of the major problems with the found footage genre is poor acting and poor dialogue, which usually comes down to constant bickering and acting either like an idiot or like a hysterical bitch (or both). Therefore to see decent dialogue and acting in Bigfoot County immediately caught my attention. Moreover, the setup was pretty good: they meet a weird guy, find themselves alone in a hostile environment, and they realize someone is stalking them and leading them away from safety. But then it starts ripping off Blair Witch and eventually turns into the boring old "hillbillies bent on raping city folk" thing. To make things worse, the second half of the film is poorly directed and simply not very interesting. The film had so much promise and I can't believe they allowed it to devolve into this pile of nonsense. You don't need to rip off Blair Witch and Deliverance to make a Bigfoot movie.

This movie is a 'found-footage' film about a group of documentary makers trying to find evidence that Bigfoot exists. Now I went in to this thinking it may be like 'The Lost Coast Tapes', and it was....in the way that it was just as bad, actually it was worse! It was below average, badly filmed, badly acted, in fact I feel ripped off because I wasted 80 minutes on this rubbish. < SPOILER ALERT > The plot was a rip off of 'The Lost Coast Tapes' to a point, then it went down hill very fast. The only scene that you actually see anything to do with Bigfoot is the last 3 seconds of the movie! If that part wasn't in it the film could have been called something different, because of the fact that the group of people were looking for Bigfoot was the only thing that tied it to the title. As you find out later, the evidence they actually follow is all tied to some rednecks who are trying to protect their marijuana crops. It seemed like the Bigfoot plot was mainly a background story, for the reasons of making this movie appeal to the "Horror/Thriller" market in my opinion. So in closing, this movie is a waste of time! I give it a 1 out of 10.
