I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I watched this documentary-as it was suppose to be-and was THROUGHLY disappointed in this ENTIRE film. POORLY documented, edited, written, and produced. I would advìse NO ONE to waste their time-as I did-watching this film. The language was ATROCIOUS, BARBARIC, REVOLTING, and APPALLING!!!!!!!!! No; I am NOT a producer, editor, or filmmaker. Nothing to do with movies; other than- like most of you-watching them. If your plans are to watch this film, please; think deeply about the comments made-by those who did not like this film, but watched it-and consider what is said, and make your choice. If you are a person of colorful language, than this is the film for you. If you are not-as obviously as I am-you WILL NOT like or enjoy this documentary or film.

So close to something I'd actually recommend, yet I just can't do that. Why can't I? Well I don't mind not actually seeing Bigfoot in this. I'd rather not see him than see another terrible costume, but the whole spotlight thing... Why? Why would they do that? And why the telekinetic stuff? Why not just stick to traditional Bigfoot ideas and just have a big hairy arm grabbing at people if you need someone yanked through a window? The acting was surprisingly good for a Lost Footage film, I actually found myself caring whether or not people in it died. But the ending, it ruined it for me. I hope this team makes another one, but just keeps the extra- dimensional BS out of it. If they kept it just being Bigfoot they would have really had something.

OK...whoever said this is a troll hunter rip off.....well......no. at least the troll hunter was absurd in an amusing way,this was down right terrible. there was a whole lot of over acting and bad camera work. nothing really interesting at all. so,if you like genuinely BAD movies, spend your dollar. otherwise,run.....and i do mean RUN!!!!!!!!!!if you are under some impression you will see anything(i.e. bigfoot).....nyet. not going to happen. i thought surely they would give me SOMETHING at the end. at least on troll hunter i got to see the poor fellow get jacked across the bridge (which i LOVED). so very disappointed!!!

Found footage films, lets face it, they're much more miss than hit, but some of these films don't even get loaded into the chamber, and this is where you'll find Lost Coast tapes. I feel duty bound to WARN you not to watch this film because I have just wasted a precious hour and twenty five minutes of my life on this large roll of celluloid lavatory paper and whilst I have lost that time forever, I feel that it's not too late to save you. Yes YOU, fan of found footage films; because even you, with your love of Troll Hunter, and Rec and VHS, may be thinking 'OOoh this has a 4.1 rating on IMDb, it's in the zone where it MIGHT appeal to me as a fan of this type of stuff' must say NO. Yes it's a found footage film, but remember that "found footage", just means just that. What you have to ask yourself is: "found footage of what?" Well, I'll tell you - an hour and 25 minutes of PEOPLE. People talking, people driving, people arguing, people behaving irritatingly and nonsensically, people providing painful exposition, people pointing at stuff with torches, people running around in the dark, and people breathing rapidly in that way that actors always try to act 'out of breath'. OH what was that? A tree. Oh what was that?!? A very very distant flash of what possibly might have been a hairy extremity. OK yeah, but hold on because RIGHT over here I'll show you a BIGFOOT!! Here it comes, ready? Really ready?? OoOoh a shiny thing over there in the corner! Let me just go into the dark for a bit and investigate that. This is like 90 minutes of pass the parcel and when you get to the end, you realise your parents forgot to stick a present inside. I figure if ONE person reads this review and opts out of watching this abysmal pointless junk, then I have done humanity a service.... Please, don't even be curious about this one, don't give it the satisfaction of doing a large Bigfoot sized poo all your expectations. If you hear about a twist, or are indeed even faintly curious about it, it makes NO sense and will annoy you even more. If you wanna ignore my words like the grizzled drunken harbinger that everyone always ignores in a horror film, then please for the love of God at least forward this rubbish to the 1 hour 15 mark and watch it from there. Then at least I can be safe in the knowledge that I've saved you 80 minutes of your life. You are very welcome my film watching friends.
