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.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Looking for terrible horror movies on Amazon late one night, I was surprised to find this suitable looking candidate mention Ellwood City, PA in its description -- only a few hours away from me. (There is another Pennsylvania bigfoot movie, Suburban Sasquatch, that has begun to gather some an audience and some acclaim -- or rather, notoriety.) Encourage by this fateful serendipity, the night's film was chosen. It wasn't very good.In an interview with a local paper, the director said he tried to capture the character of Western PA. By my account he succeeded; the people, the undulated streets, the woods, well, it all feels like home. But other than that there isn't a whole lot going for this movie. Although this is a "horror-comedy" by some classifications, there is zero focus on the horror element. There are some horror tropes, and people get murdered, but there's no attempt to make it scary. Which is fine. But what is not fine is that basically any scene that's not meant to be comedy per se is terrible. The bigfoot attacks and dramatic scenes are devoid of tension. That's the kind of thing that's not easily forgiven for lack of budget or being a B-movie spoof.What you get in this movie is mostly people standing around cracking jokes that sometimes hit and mostly miss. The actors are passable; I don't recall anyone being particularly incompetent. Oh, and the creature is surprisingly good looking, not at all what I was expecting. Come to think of it, there was a gore scene that also had
a disgusting effect. Maybe that's where most of the budget went?Anyway -- this isn't offensively bad. I can see people with a less uptight sense of humor enjoying this, probably with drinks and friends. Personally it's not for me.

Bigfoot the movie is one of the best Bigfoot related films I've seen. (Which is saying a lot). Creator John R Hand took a tired formula and managed to an make entertaining film, largely due to the clever writing and subtle comedy style. The sound and visual quality was top notch, especially for an indie film and the score was perfectly selected for each scene. The characters were fun to watch and served as the film's greatest strength. Having a cast of unsophisticated red necks could have easily led to nothing more than a frenzy of tired clichés. However, Bigfoot: The Movie took the high ground and made the majority of jokes premise driven, elevating them above cheap gags. However, being a comedy about Bigfoot fighting rednecks the film was not entirely above cheap gags and toilet humor. These jokes were overall funny as well due to comedic timing and the fact that no single joke was drawn out longer than necessary. I mean, if I were face to face with Sasquatch, I'd probably need a few drinks to get through the ordeal as well. Anyone who lives or has lived around Western Pennsylvania will appreciate regional jokes and Pittsburgh slang present throughout the film, adding an extra layer of charm. The only noticeable flaw from this film is it's unfortunate habit of dragging in places, which occasionally slows down the otherwise steady pacing. This is particularly prevalent regarding the romance and drama between characters. These moments don't seem to added much to the plot, nor do they develop the characters in any meaningful way. However, these moments are few and far between concerning the film as a whole. It would be wrong not to credit this film for using a Bigfoot costume that actually didn't look like a cheap planet of the apes knock off. Overall, Bigfoot the movie is clever comedy that's guaranteed to satisfy both long time Bigfoot fans, as well as anyone looking for an excuse to drink.

BIGFOOT THE MOVIE is a shockingly terrible attempt at a comedy horror movie, funded by Kickstarter no less (what a shame that the donated money couldn't have gone to some genuine causes). I feel like the backers should have been refunded as this is total trash, amateur hour all round. It's basically a redneck comedy with a ton of unfunny humour, a barely-seen Bigfoot creeping around the scenery, and more bad hairstyles than you can shake a stick at. It truly is a film with no redeeming values.

So funny!!!! I can watch this over and over. I love each of the characters. The Bigfoot costume is out of this world. I got a chance to see it at the Oaks Theater and it was pretty awesome! Every time I watch it I find something new and funny that I missed before. I can't wait till the sound track comes out. I'm really hoping they make a sequel. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone but make sure you watch all the way through the credits.... I bought DVD's for my family. I'm really hoping they make more merchandise available! You can download the movie and get awesome merchandise on the website. Thanks for the laughs!!!
