Bigfoot County (2012)

Best movie ever!

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This movie had the potential to be great. I think the idea of a "found footage film" with big foot is cool and once I heard about it I had to see it immediately. To my surprise I was disappointed. You never really get to see big foot, I had a feeling it wouldn't show him a lot but I expected at least one good look at him. You only get the chance twice and its very brief. The f word is used about a million times, literally a million times I don't understand why the writer thought it was a good idea to put in an f word in every line. And they use it when its totally not even needed I don't get offended by foul language or anything but it starts to get annoying. The ending really disappointed me because when the hillbillies have the brother tied up and are about to rape him I thought it would of been awesome to have the big foot pop out and wipe out the clan of hillbillies. But instead they continue on with the assault then drop the main character off in a field the next day. We watch him lay there for about 3 minutes then big foot emerges from the tall grass and it abruptly ends. I think my ending would have been way better. Do not hype yourself up for this movie it is a waste of time you are not missing anything find another movie.

As soon as I saw the shoddy camera-work on "Bigfoot County", then I knew this was going to suck big time. I loathe these "found footage" movies, especially because I don't pay to watch something that is shot by a teenager with his first DV camera. It is epically lame on so many levels.The story told in "Bigfoot County" could have been somewhat more interesting and the movie that much more watchable, had they opted to go with proper camera-work and held the cameras steady. But no, that was not to be, and for 82 minutes the audience have to suffer through questionable camera-work and end up with a bad case of SCS (Shaky Cam Syndrome).A young film enthusiast treks into Bigfoot County in his search for clues about the legendary Bigfoot (Sasquatch, Yeti, Abominable Snowman, or whatever you call him in your respective area). And he drags his friend along with him, and also the friend's girlfriend, deep into the woodlands in search for proof of the legendary creature.I will say that the three main cast people did good enough jobs with their given roles, but they were just struggling futilely against the whole "found footage" genre.I managed to suffer through this movie, albeit I was tempted so many times to just turn it off and end my suffering and find something else to watch. So was it worth it? No, not at all. Not unless you count into the equation the hilarious and oh-so-predictable ending to the movie. It was so lame that I ended up in tears from laughing so hard."Bigfoot County" is bad with a big B (might be B for Bigfoot, but it ain't, trust me). And if you are looking for 82 minutes of entertainment, you are best of looking somewhere else, far, far away from this movie. I am giving "Bigfoot County" a 2 out of 10 rating. It manages to scrape itself off the floor and not get a 1 for the actual attempt of making a proper movie, and had they opted (as I mentioned above) for proper steady camera-work, the movie would have rated much higher than a 2 out of 10 rating.

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.
