Plot: It has been sighted 42,000 times in 68 countries. A creature of myth and legend known by several names; Yeti, Sasquatch and the infamous Bigfoot! We've hunted it for years, but what happens when it decides to hunt us?
Hmmm, I love bigfoot movies. Always have. If you look at most reviews for this they will all have one common theme running through them, it's shit. I have to dissagree, this film is fantastic in almost every way. If you want a 9 foot hairy beast biting peoples faces off look no further than this.
You been eating garlic?
With a stella cast including the always fantastic Lance Henriksen and Jeffrey Combs this nice little horror zooms along with an energetic pace that rarely lets up. Throw in some girls, in cluding Tiffany Shepis, on a camping trip and whoooo, your gonna get some big boy chomping action.
Is the safety on?
The creature effects are spot on, classic big foot style. The gore is great as well and comes thick and fast. Seeing the various characters creeping round a dark forest knowing that huge hairy thing is out there produces a nice amount of tension, The bigfoot asault on the house is a great scene too. The fact that the main hero is in a wheel chair adds another sense of dread to the whole procedings.The ending is great, setting up what could be an even better sequel, but I doubt that will ever happen.
Don't go in there you loon!
All in all a brilliant bigfoot story with some great gorey moments and more then good enough creature effects. Bigfoot is the business.
Summary:

Crap because:
