STOMPING GROUND is a film which is marketed as a Bigfoot movie but turns out to be some turgid relationship drama instead. The story is about a young couple who go Bigfoot hunting in the woods, only to run in with another character who tries to break up the relationship. The production values are nil, and for a film described as a comedy horror, I didn't laugh once. There's a lot of bickering, a lot of arguing and conversations which add nothing to the overall picture, just endless soul searching which quickly becomes tiresome.

okay so i am a huge fan of horror movies and have seen some decent yeti/big foot films, but most of them are trash. this one however is worse than trash. it has terrible acting and doesn't make much sense. if you're looking for a good big foot movie look elsewhere. i actually cannot believe this has 5/10 stars. If you want an okay-ish big foot movie try Willow Creek or Exists. this movie is utter trash and isn't worth wasting your time watching.I know i might be a little bit brutal in writing this but do yourselves a favor and don't bother. the whole movie is basically 4 idiots walking around in a forest with a banjo playing. it is cliché and written extremely badly, has no mid peak and is boring the entire way through, extremely terrible special effects even though it's a low budget film they could have definitely done it better. none of it is funny or humorous it's just lame and not one part of it was good besides when it finished and i didn't have to watch it anymore.

"Stomping Ground" is yet another tale about the legendary Bigfoot. Ben and Annie leave Chicago to return to Annie's small hometown somewhere in North Carolina. Funny thing is, this place is constantly referred to as "The South." Honey, there is no way in heaven or on earth that North Carolina is considered "The South." During their visit, Annie reconnects with two of her high school buddies--both males. During a night of drunkenness--where nobody could have possibly lived given the amount of alcohol intake--one of her friends tells the local tale about "Bigfoot." A camping investigation ensues. "Stomping Ground" is billed as a horror/comedy movie. It fails miserably on both attempts. It might have been funny; kinda' hard to tell when those involved tried to insert every over-the-top redneck caricature they could think of. The acting was bad, although the guy that played Ben was decent. Annie could not act her way out of a wet paper bag. Sorry, hon, but dumb looks and blank stares do not count as acting. And why the director was hell- bent on dragging on this one-sided love story between Annie and one of her former beaus is beyond me. I mean, this thing moved at a snail's pace. I was surprised I actually made it through until the end.Unrated (I think); however, this is pretty much PG13 stuff. The movie lasts 80 of the longest minutes you'll ever spend. Not recommended.

Good Bigfoot movies are just as hard to come by as good Werewolf movies. For some reason, they are generally done quite poorly, and this is no different. It's a weak story to begin with, a country girl takes her city boyfriend to where she grew up in the south. Old flame shows up and tries to sabotage the relationship all whilst they're out looking for Bigfoot. Yeah. The editing, dialogue and acting are all pretty bad here. The slow pacing and anticlimactic ending do not help either. It's a pity too, this is shot OK and even the Bigfoot creature looks decent for something i imagine was done on a very limited budget. Forgettable and mediocre. Pass on this one.
