"Blood Forest" movie review

                               Blood Forest

Year made  -  2009
Rated   -  Mature Audience

Approx. Time  -  92 min. 



                                           Story Line


The residents of the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas are being slaughtered by a Bigfoot. After getting word of the killings a newspaper in the U.K. send a reporter to investigate.
Meanwhile an Indian Medicine man who is supposed to be the middleman between the people and the beast is being forced out of his home by a new housing development.
The town sheriff believes the Medicine man is responsible for all the carnage plaguing his town and wants him dead.
Another low budget Bigfoot film that doesn't deliver. The Medicine man who has 10 days to move out of his home does nothing but wanders around the town and nearby woods. There is no clue as to what he's doing besides getting some exercise. The reporter records some interviews with the locals and doesn't look too focused to the job on hand. If you're one that enjoys the look of a great Bigfoot suit (costume) you will be totally disappointed. You do not see him once during the movie except at the very end and you only see his very human looking face off a reflection of a camera lens. In the Bigfoot attack scenes you get to hear a loud heartbeat and what sounds like a out of shape man who just ran 2 miles and  is trying to catch his breath.

I give this movie a 1 out of a possible 5.

If you like watching a Bigfoot film were you never see a Bigfoot, Blobsquatch or even a faint shadow of a Bigfoot and you like heavy breathing, then this is a movie for you. Otherwise avoid this and spend your money on something else.

1313 "Bigfoot Island" movie review

                                 1313
                          Bigfoot Island


Year made  -  2011

Rated  -  Unrated directors cut

Approx. time  -   72 min. 



                              Story line

Part of the 1313 production series, this movie had two things going for it. First it was shot in beautiful Vancouver Island, B.C. in Canada
Second was the fact this movie was only 72 minutes long. Thank god.
This has to be the worst Bigfoot film ever made, bar none.
You have a group of boys, young men who get together at a cabin to get their batteries charged before starting their school year. A year earlier at their last get together, they try to take advantage of a girl but was stopped by one of the boys before it went to far. The girl seeking revenge calls for the spirit of the forest to avenge her. The whole movie is watching the boys mostly shirtless one by one walking, running, or kayaking to the cabin with Sasquatch following and then exacting revenge for the girl. A total of more than 54 minutes watching the boys make their way to the cabin and then being chased by Sasquatch before he put the hammer down on them. Another 4-5 minutes of the girl chanting, Oh great Forest Spirit avenge your maiden. That's about 60 minutes of a 72 minute movie. The Sasquatch was never on the Island, all his scenes were shot in Ca. and you can tell. A couple scenes were shot on a clear cut area on a logging road. The tree line was 100 feet or more away from the boys. Yet when Sasquatch caught up to them he would swing his arms like he was pounding them. He looked like he was in the middle of the forest when there wasn't a tree within 100 feet of them.Unless you like young Calvin Klein models you don't want to waste your time or money on this movie. I certainly would not recommend this movie to my worst enemy. I wouldn't even suggest putting it in any ones collection to just boost your collection count.

My overall rating on this movie is 0 out of 5

After watching this movie I threw it into the fire

I video taped it but can't get it uploaded

I'm sure you get the picture.

"Primal" movie review

                                   Primal


Year made  -  2007

Rated  -  R

Approx. time  -  80 min.



                                 Storyline


Sasquatch gone wild. Low budget B-movie that has Sasquatch killing anyone he sees. The script was poorly written, the camera work was nauseating, and the special effects was horrific.
   You have people disappearing on the mountain and Wade the ranger knows why. His bosses don't want word getting out so Wade keeps quiet. Now you add college students doing a field survey on the animals in the area, a few meth heads and Wades sister and her fiance and you have enough food to feed Sasquatch for two life times.
  It looke like most of the budget was spent on the Sasquatch costume, about $200.00. That should tell you all you need to know. Sasquatches arms looked like to furry stove pipes. Every time Sasquatch would go on the attack, the camera would go crazy, flashing and zooming in and out. I was afraid to watch the entire movie because I thought I might have a seizure. Blood looked like it was thrown on a clear glass attached to the camera. The special effects in whole looked like it was done by a bunch of 6 graders. The ending was also very disappointing. Actually I think if you gave some 6 graders $5000.00 they could do a better job. I wouldn't recommend seeing this movie. If you're looking to increase your Sasqutch library, go ahead and buy it. But I would bury it deep in your stack of movies. The only reason I watch the entire movie was because of the review I was doing on this movie.

My overall rating on this movie is 1 out of 5.

Next weeks review hasn't been decided yet. I have a couple new ones coming and I'll wait to see if I get in time. I'll decide in a few days. I'm hoping to do Bigfoot Island.
 

 

"Assault of the Sasquatch" Movie Review

                    Assault of the Sasquatch

Year made  -  2009

Rated  -  Unrated

Approx. time  -  85 min.


                                          Story line


Forest creature meets the big city. A poacher captures Sasquatch, but before he can deliver him to his client he is busted by game wardens.
He along with his impounded truck containing Sasquatch are brought into the middle of the city for holding in a sparsely filled police station. Soon afterwards the beast escapes from the truck. After treating his wounded foot and grabbing a bite to eat, he explores his new surrounding. He is soon spotted by two nerdy members of the Sasquatch Society peeping in a window. They spend the rest of the movie trying to relocate Sasquatch. As Sasquatch makes his way back to the police station he throws rocks at one his victim. Something that's often reported, with run ins with Sasquatch. However this attack
escalates to bigger rocks, then to a tire and then  a full size mailbox. Thank god there are no mailboxes in the forest.
Sasquatch then soon spots the poacher and will stop at nothing to get to him. In the end it becomes a bare knuckle, knock down brawl between the two. 
The acting wasn't great and I thought Sasquatch looked a little to much like a gorilla. The movie was shot at various locations in Connecticut. With most the the scenes shot in the city there wasn't much as scenery goes unless you like the dirty streets of the city. The best part of the movie was when the police station secretary / ex exotic dancer goes one on one with Sasquatch. She pulls a butterfly knife out of her garder and with a police shield she kicks his ass (balls). This scene was worth the price of emission. Sasquatch does get his revenge later.

If you like to laugh you might want to get this movie, Overall I give this movie a rating of 2 out of a possible 5. Tha acting wasn't great and some of the scenes didn't make sense, but it'll make you laugh.

Next week I'll be reviewing Primal

'Creature from Black Lake' Movie review

                  Creature from Black Lake


Year made  -  1976

Rated  -  PG

Approx.  time  -  90 min.



                                           Story line


 Being fueled by stories of Sasquatch by there teacher, two students from the University of Chicago head to the swamps of Louisiana when they hear reports of a bipedal creature attacking a trapper. After arriving in Oil City they begin to ask about the creature for their research only to find most of the townspeople unwilling to help. Soon afterward they're warned by the town sheriff not to stir up trouble. They continue to press the issue and after a few more run ins with the sheriff, they're told to leave the area and to forget about the monster. 
However they ignore the sheriff and camp out by Black Lake. A decision they soon regret.


My overall thoughts on this movie is that it's not bad. The acting wasn't that great and with it being made in 1976 the special effects is pretty much non-existent. However the way they only showed the sasquatch in the shadows you never really got a good look at it. It gave it a scarier appearence I thought. If you grew up in the 70's these were the type of movies you saw. With all the special effects and costume designs in the movie now a days it kind of nice to see an older film once in a while. As long as the sasquatch costume isn't hideous. I would recommend having this in your sasquatch film selection. So with that said, get yourself a hamburger, fries and a coke and watch the movie.

As you can see I give this movie a 2 out of 5

Next weeks review will be on Assault of the Sasquatch

"Sasquatch Mountian" Movie Review

                      Sasquatch Mountain
                                                (Devil on the mountian)


Year made  -  2006

Rated  -   R

Approx. time  -  90 min. 



                             Story Line


A group of bank robbers rob a small town bank in Arizona. In there attempt to elude the police, they are involved in a crash with a young woman. With the police in hot pursuit they grab the woman as hostage and flee into the forest to escape, with the police close behind. The thieves soon realize that the police aren't the only ones after them. Sasquatch however isn't taking sides and attacks both parties. The cops and robbers soon fine themselves joining forces in order to survive.

The actors were good lead by Lance Henriksen, who has been in a few sasquatch films and Cerina Vincent (Cabin Fever) The movie was filmed in the scenic Coconino National Forest and in the towns of Flagstaff and Williams Arizona. I found the movie to be realistic and the sasquatch, I thought was very good. A good haircut would have made it better. I wasn't sure how the sasquatch could see thru all the hair in his face. Maybe he lost his rubberband and couldn't put his hair up. I would recommend any sasquatch fan to see this movie and if you collect sasquatch movies, don't hesitate to get this one if you don't already have it.

I give this movie a 3 out of 5

"Abominable" Movie Review

Abominable

Year made  -  2005

Rated -  R

Approx. time  -  94 min.


                              Story Line

Preston, a paraplegic returns to his cabin in a small mountianside community for the first time since his mountian climbing accident, which claimed the life of his wife and left him paralized.  Shortly after arriving he finds that he has some new neighbors. Five women and one large forest dweller.  As he helplessly watches, the women are terrorized by sasquatch. In a desperate attempt to escape sasquatch, he tries to lure him thru the front door of his cabin as he and one of the neighbors flee out the back way.



Acting  -  The acting in this movie was good. A lot of veteran
                       actors appeared in this film.

Scenery  -  The movie was filmed in Idyllwild, Ca.  Most of it
                          filmed between the two houses of Preston and his
                          neighbors so you didn't get to see much of the
                          beauty of this area except for a few scenes when
                          they showed the mountians.

Believable  -  Maybe. It's a stretch that a sasquatch 
                               would go on a vicious, terrorizing 
                               attack, unless it was provoked or
                               protecting its territory and family.

Sasquatch  -    The body wasn't to bad, but the face 
                                was terrible I thought. His eyes were 
                                bugged out and his teeth were to long
                                A trip to the dentist definitely needed.
                                A added note on the sasquatch.    
                                
                               
                      
Recommendation   -    Yes. The movie overall was 
                                                  good and would be a nice 
                                                  addition to anyones collection.    

My overall rating for Abominable is a 3 out of 5.
