Jeanskynebu the audience applauded

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

GL84 After crashing a music festival in South Dakota, a small band of locals try to put their differences aside and align with the local authorities to hunt the massive Bigfoot awakened by the concert responsible for the carnage before it's rampage escalates out of control.This here was an exceptionally cheesy Sci-Fi channel creature feature entry. The fun of this is made up by the film's large number of action scenes where the creature's on the loose and running wild on the citizens. Those start off rather early here with the opening rampage against the construction works in the middle of the woods as it rampages through the woods, a fantastically cheesy attack on the big music festival where the creature appears and runs wild on the guests and the later attack where the hunters get the drop with the higher firepower out in the woods as the creature starts tearing through the rest of the group on the ground. The scenes of it running wild in the town while the hunters come after it with a ton of big guns to shoot up the city as he wrecks cars and buildings in the midst of the gunfire unleashed against it before the large-scale confrontations with the military at the mountain hideout setting up a big finale that's pretty shocking for what's accomplished. Likewise, this also takes on the channels' other feature setup meaning this one is filled with all the usual hallmarks of such films with the shorter scenes here including the fine ambush on the hikers out in the woods and a later scene with the poachers trying to simply track it who run into the creature in the woods which all come together to make this one really fun and action-packed. Alongside the high body-count and the rather decent design for the creature, these here are what hold this one up over its few flaws. The main issue at fault here is the same problem usually found in these films which is the atrocious CGI work that pops up here, managing to come off really obvious about its usage. Since everything here involving the creature is done in CGI, there's always the fact that the creature never interacts with its environment all that much, it's jerking movements where it really seems to highlight the inability to move within its space which makes it look really obvious. The last part here that holds it back is the problematic story that has a couple of issues, in that it tends to put the events in the wrong order. There's no reason why the festival rampage, which should be the film's highlight, put half-an-hour into it as that really makes no sense nor does the inclusion of the hunting party which is placed near the end for some rather odd reason. The other big issue with that is some of the personal issues here are just lame and utterly innocuous points into it that are supposed to be character development pieces that don't have anything to do with the story itself and serve no purpose being there. In the end, it's really cheesy, but that isn't a point to hold against it.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.

bsmith441 Yet another SyFY instant Tragedy. I am convinced that SyFy intentionally makes really bad Science Fiction films knowing that they are so bad, you can't help but love them for their cheesiness. Bigfoot is your typical SyFy channel fare meaning you will immediately laugh and realize the movie is awful, yet in all likelihood you will watch the entire movie while you take a half-snooze on your couch.This film, while terrible does have a few decent moments. Danny Bonaduce is well-known from his days on The Partridge Family and it is hard not to like him. His acting is actually decent on the film. In addition, it does seem like our friend the Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot) has never been more popular. There are several shows on television currently in search of the elusive Bigfoot, so this film is actually timely in a sort of a funny way.This may also hold a little interest for those of you who grew up listening to hard rock, Alice Cooper (who still records and is still a great live act). I read an interview where Cooper, who has also done a little bit of acting for some horror films, stated he was in the area doing a legitimate concert and was asked if he would shoot a cameo for a SyFy film. Cooper, apparently didn't even know what the film originally was about, and wasn't given a script until the day he was filming. Alice is actually quite good in his cameo and his scene is hilarious.No one's IQ is going to go up watching this film, but like most SyFy Channel films, you know what you are getting and as stupid as most of their films are, they also can be quite fun.

piratecannon Ever since Mr. Mercer and myself have endeavored to create our own monster movie based on the legendary bigfoot (you can read more about our efforts here), I've kept an eye out for any and all things related to the ever elusive Sasquatch. Enter the release of 2012′s Bigfoot, a made for TV movie that documents the reign of terror imposed by a creature more relative in size and stature to King Kong than the reportedly gentle giant that roams the forests of North America.There are a number of ways one could approach a film like this, but I would never have guessed that the story would center around a rock concert in the shadow of Mount Rushmore. Two aging foes—who apparently shared glory days as members of jam bands during the 1980′s—lock horns in a dispute that boils down to conservationism versus capitalism. I'll save you the grief of a tedious narrative recap by saying simply that the catalyst that ultimately sets up the confrontation with the creature of cryptozoological lore is idiotic; it's a hammy idea that may have worked had the actors been more willing to "cheese up" the proceedings, but a misplaced sense of seriousness sinks any hopes of intentional laughter. Instead, we get uneven sequences that find our hero and villain spouting off cliché lines (and plot points) about protecting the environment and generating revenue for small town America (respectively).Are you bored yet? If so, I apologize, but this serves to highlight the fatal flaw of Bigfoot: that there isn't enough of well bigfoot. When the monster shows up good fun is had by all, but too much of the movie is bogged down in a dispute between two unlikable characters. Last time I checked, people tune into the SyFy Channel movie of the week because they want over-the-top gore and an overabundance of horrendous special effects. Here, neither is given the screen time it deserves, and the result is a mind-numbing movie with an absolutely infuriating conclusion that's every bit as hollow as Alice Cooper's two minute cameo.Yeah. You read that right. Actually, said appearance might just be the highlight of Bigfoot. As the aging rock star touts before being stepped on by the massive primate, "I'm the scariest thing you'll ever see!"

wshumake Bigfoot can take its place alongside the great Bigfoot movies of the past such as Sasquatch, Abominable and Boggy Creek. Where Bigfoot can one-up them is with the amazing cast. Barry Williams and Danny Bonaduce are the stars. Howard Hessman and Alice Cooper are cast in supporting roles. The photography is quite good. The dialogue is to die for. Lots of little hidden references to Danny and Barry having known each other in the past that will bring a smile to anyone old enough to remember them as childhood actors. The CG for Bigfoot is not overdone making the monster fun and enjoyable. The story has a great message about the environment. Also the story allows even the bad guys to be fun. So why only an 8 and not a 10? It was good but not Sharktopus good. Still a great piece of entertainment! Thank you Asylum! Keep up the good work. I'd pick Bigfoot over Inception, Prometheus, or The Dark Knight Rises any day of the week!
