Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Wuchak Hmm, How could I best describe 2003's "Sasquatch" (originally titled "The Untold")? If you can imagine a low budget version of both "The Edge" and "Predator," substituting a Bigfoot for the bear and alien, with some elements of "The Blair Witch Project" thrown in, you'd pretty much have "Sasquatch." The story involves a plane crash in Bigfoot territory and the group of people who search for the wreckage. As a matter of fact, the ENTIRE FILM takes place in the forest except for flashbacks, shot in British Columbia near Vancouver.I'm kind of a sucker for these types of crisis-in-the-woods stories, so I have to admit that I marginally liked "Sasquatch," especially since the tone is totally serious. The film is marred a bit by some strange directorial techniques; particularly the irritating overuse of the 'fade-to-black' technique. Moreover, some of the characters and dialogue come off unbelievable.On the plus side, the tone is serious and the filmmakers throw in a literal 'babe in the woods'; and, yes, she does have a nude hotspring scene (not that you see much, so don't get too excited), but the character's too much of a biyatch to be appealing and the actress, Andrea Roth, isn't THAT attractive anyway, at least not to me (the older woman who plays Nikki is actually more of a babe). Lance Henriksen is always good, of course; and some of the BC locations are quite scenic. I also liked the ending as it was more profound and moving than anticipated, but there's too much marking time; the film could've easily been cut by 15 minutes.But, you ask, what about the appearance of the creature? In other words, is the 'payoff' any good? I kinda liked what they came up with, although it appears as if one of the beast's ancestors mated with Ben Franklin. Just joking; it's not the conventional look of the creature, but it's pretty cool.This is not a great bigfoot flick; it's not even very good. In fact, it's one of the lesser recent SyFy films on Sassy (discounting the abysmal "Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon" and that one with 'Greg' from The Brady Bunch and that other guy from The Partridge Family). But if you're a fan of the creature or a sucker for these types of stories, "Sasquatch" is mandatory.The film runs 86 minutes.Here's how I rate the various bigfoot flicks since the new millennium (see my reviews of each for details):"Sasquatch Mountain" (2006): A- "Sasquatch Hunters" (2005): B+"Abominable" (2006): B"Snowbeast" (2011): B- "Clawed" (2005): C+ "Sasquatch" (2003): C"Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon" (2008): F

swedzin The Untold... Is one of the worst films I ever saw. The story really seems original, but it was badly bestow on screen. Lance Henriksen, a good actor, ended up in this crap. But, hey he made a lot of low budget films... you need to pay the bills, you know? Kidding. Lance is a great actor, but he ended up with this bunch of silly actors. Seriously, Andrea Roth was there just to have a nudity scene, and other actors... well they were just there. There was constantly a fade out-fade in editing, and that makes me sick! That was the most horrible move that just keeps on coming and it really makes you angry. It was also very predictable, boring and slow. It has a bizarre tempo that goes just... wrong.Can't say more... don't rent it, or buy it. You can watch it, if on TV.

Michael_Elliott Sasquatch (2002) * (out of 4) A plane crashes into the Northwestern mountains but after the search is called off one of the victim's rich CEO father (Lance Henriksen) puts together a search team. The team heads off into the mountains to look for the plane as well as a few secret items but soon run into the title creature. I really love watching Bigfoot movies of all types but this one here is probably the worst one I've seen. This film was originally known as The Untold but no matter the title this one is a real stinker. There are countless issues with this film but the most annoying item is the really bad editing, which also features countless fade to black sequences, which get tiresome very quickly. Another issue are the point of view shots of Bigfoot, which are nothing more than the screen going to various colors. I could mention the bad acting, weak story or poor Bigfoot outfit but all of this is to be expected. Even Henriksen comes off looking very bored and bland. This film is apparently based on a true story where a group went out looking for a plane and when they returned they said many members were lost to a Sasquatch attack. That angle of the story might have been a lot more interesting in the right hands but this film just kills any attempt at a good movie.

BroadswordCallinDannyBoy A plane carrying a rich scientist's daughter goes down in thick wilderness. He assembles a group to go and find her and the others, but the rescue party soon suspects that something is stalking them. Then ulterior motives for the expedition are revealed and that only adds to the already existing tension.The movie is a decent idea and a take on the popular Sasquatch legend was bound to wind up on film sooner or later. However, the film's direction breaks a fundamental rule of horror/thriller directing and that is showing too much too soon. Of course the audience knows there is something stalking the characters, just read the title! But showing what should have been the film's kicker that early just ruins most of the suspense and, as a direct result, much of the fun. The film also lacks a good atmosphere and there are almost no landscape shots that show the expanse of the wilderness, but there are plenty monster point-of-view shots that add nothing to anything. They actually knock off 'Predator' quite shamelessly. The low-budget horror film 'Wendigo' did what this film tries to do much better.Some of the character tensions and a non-cliché ending manage to make up for this rise above the crap pile, but it is still poor and given the premise and potential, very disappointing. --- 4/10Rated R for some violence and profanity, but it's pretty tame compared to most R-rated horror.
