fayejohn-24577 Here's an example of how money does NOT always make something great. The acting was hit and miss but included some recognizable names for clout. The concept was not believable...at all. The animation was questionable; just enough to show us it wasn't ultra low budget. I'm giving it a 6 simply for the decent acting parts and the fact that it's a Bigfoot movie and not a camcorder rendition.

GL84 After crashing a music festival in South Dakota, a small band of locals try to put their differences aside and align with the local authorities to hunt the massive Bigfoot awakened by the concert responsible for the carnage before it's rampage escalates out of control.This here was an exceptionally cheesy Sci-Fi channel creature feature entry. The fun of this is made up by the film's large number of action scenes where the creature's on the loose and running wild on the citizens. Those start off rather early here with the opening rampage against the construction works in the middle of the woods as it rampages through the woods, a fantastically cheesy attack on the big music festival where the creature appears and runs wild on the guests and the later attack where the hunters get the drop with the higher firepower out in the woods as the creature starts tearing through the rest of the group on the ground. The scenes of it running wild in the town while the hunters come after it with a ton of big guns to shoot up the city as he wrecks cars and buildings in the midst of the gunfire unleashed against it before the large-scale confrontations with the military at the mountain hideout setting up a big finale that's pretty shocking for what's accomplished. Likewise, this also takes on the channels' other feature setup meaning this one is filled with all the usual hallmarks of such films with the shorter scenes here including the fine ambush on the hikers out in the woods and a later scene with the poachers trying to simply track it who run into the creature in the woods which all come together to make this one really fun and action-packed. Alongside the high body-count and the rather decent design for the creature, these here are what hold this one up over its few flaws. The main issue at fault here is the same problem usually found in these films which is the atrocious CGI work that pops up here, managing to come off really obvious about its usage. Since everything here involving the creature is done in CGI, there's always the fact that the creature never interacts with its environment all that much, it's jerking movements where it really seems to highlight the inability to move within its space which makes it look really obvious. The last part here that holds it back is the problematic story that has a couple of issues, in that it tends to put the events in the wrong order. There's no reason why the festival rampage, which should be the film's highlight, put half-an-hour into it as that really makes no sense nor does the inclusion of the hunting party which is placed near the end for some rather odd reason. The other big issue with that is some of the personal issues here are just lame and utterly innocuous points into it that are supposed to be character development pieces that don't have anything to do with the story itself and serve no purpose being there. In the end, it's really cheesy, but that isn't a point to hold against it.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.

bsmith441 Yet another SyFY instant Tragedy. I am convinced that SyFy intentionally makes really bad Science Fiction films knowing that they are so bad, you can't help but love them for their cheesiness. Bigfoot is your typical SyFy channel fare meaning you will immediately laugh and realize the movie is awful, yet in all likelihood you will watch the entire movie while you take a half-snooze on your couch.This film, while terrible does have a few decent moments. Danny Bonaduce is well-known from his days on The Partridge Family and it is hard not to like him. His acting is actually decent on the film. In addition, it does seem like our friend the Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot) has never been more popular. There are several shows on television currently in search of the elusive Bigfoot, so this film is actually timely in a sort of a funny way.This may also hold a little interest for those of you who grew up listening to hard rock, Alice Cooper (who still records and is still a great live act). I read an interview where Cooper, who has also done a little bit of acting for some horror films, stated he was in the area doing a legitimate concert and was asked if he would shoot a cameo for a SyFy film. Cooper, apparently didn't even know what the film originally was about, and wasn't given a script until the day he was filming. Alice is actually quite good in his cameo and his scene is hilarious.No one's IQ is going to go up watching this film, but like most SyFy Channel films, you know what you are getting and as stupid as most of their films are, they also can be quite fun.

bvalentine66 I'm not quite sure what happened, This atrocity came on and next thing I knew, I was drooling on myself and had crapped my pants. Good thing Bonaduce can still get work. The only saving grace of this entire fiasco was of course the "Bigfoot" without a doubt the most realistic, and awe inspiring "Bigfoot" in the history of Bigfootdom. Barry Williams soul inspiring performance reminded me of John Schneider in "OGRE" enough cannot be said about his performance and therefore, it shall not be said, suffice it to know, Danny Bonaduce he is not and that's not a bad thing. The movie as a whole? definitely watchable as long as you have a beautiful drunk woman passed out on the couch who wasn't paying attention where you live and never caught your name.
