Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Michael_Elliott Clawed: The Legend of Sasquatch (2005) ** (out of 4) Four poachers are hunting bear when they're attacked by some creature. One survives and eventually goes back out into the woods searching for the beast. Four high school students are also in the woods doing research on bears but they're all soon going to face the legendary Sasquatch. Those, like me, who must see every movie that deals with the famous creature will probably check this one out no matter how much they're warned. If you must see all these types of movies then I'm sure you'll make it to the end but all others should stay clear as there's not too much going on here. The film was obviously shot with a very small budget but they have a fairly good looking Sasquatch outfit so why they don't show it and use it more is beyond me. For the most part the film is all dialogue, which really drags things down because quite often we get the same stuff over and over. Even though it's all dialogue there are still sequences that don't make any sense and that includes the surviving poacher wanting to kill an Indian ranger. This here drags out the running time, is boring and takes away from the subject line that fans are going to really want to see. There's some brief nudity and a little gore but not enough to carry the film. I thought director Kozak did a pretty good job with the visual look of the film. I also thought the performances were rather good for this type of film. The young cast do a pretty good job and deliver the type of performances you'd expect. While they're not Oscar worthy they at least keep you entertained. The biggest negative is that there's never any real threat here. We've told stories about the creature yet he's never frightening or threatening. That's not a good thing when you're watching a horror movie so the majority of people out there will want to skip this one. Originally released as THE UNKNOWN.

lastliberal What to say about a formula that has been used over and over with just a change in actors and settings.Something is in the woods. No, it is not a grizzly as the Deliverance-like poacher claims it is. And, no, it is not Casey LaBow. She hasn't arrived there yet.We all know what it is because we have seen so many of these films. So why are we watching this one? Maybe we are just hoping for something different.Next thing you know Richard (Dylan Purcell) and Jay (Brandon Henschel) are assigned to work together on a report for Biology class. We don't really know why, but it is crucial to the plot so they do it. They bring along Jay's girlfriend Shea (Casey LaBow) and his cousin Jenny (Chelsea Hobbs), who has a thing for Richard. Now, we may have a reason to watch this film.Jay is just what we expected. The only contribution he makes is to take a shot of Shea (Casey LaBow) as she is changing closes and put her in Mr. Skin's database.That's all for the movie as it follows a predictable path from here on out. 10 seconds of excitement out of 85 minutes. Boring.

Scarecrow-88 Underwhelming, rather gore-less creature feature with no surprises concerning a Sasquatch(Taku he)running loose on Echo Mountain, attacking those illegally hunting. Miles O'Keefe is the true heavy of this flick as poacher Ed, out to get the Bigfoot and an Indian Ranger Eagleheart(Nathaniel Arcand)who actually saved his ass. Ed loses some pals to the angry Sasquatch, inlisting others in town to go back into Echo Mtn. to get those he deems responsible. The local media consider the poacher attacks as merely caused by an endangered grizzly. Richard(Dylan Purcell)is a smart high school kid who understands nature and wild-life regarding their habits and behavior but has been having trouble passing tests in class. He's asked by his disgruntled professor to join up with jock Jay(Brandon Henschel)who needs an A+ to graduate the class..and high school.. to develop an assignment on endangered species. Jay will coerce Richard to spend a weekend on Echo Mountain with his cousin Jenny(Chelsea Hobbs), who has a crush on him, and sweetheart Shea(Casey LaBow)hoping to find a grizzly recorded on camcorder therefore achieving that elusive grade he needs to pass class, hopefully impressing his teacher in the process. Sheriff Drake Kassel(Jack Conley)attempts to keep order with a mayor breathing down his neck to find that bear which killed those poachers so that locals will quit worrying about it..that, and the mayor doesn't wish for some killer bear to ruin tourist season. Into Echo Mountain with the dreaded Sasquatch shown from time to time spying on potential victims behind bushes and hanging leafy branches and uttering guttural growls when enraged. "Clawed.." is practically ready-made for the Sci-fi channel in that most of the violence occurs off-screen and even when we see the aftermath of the monster's attacks, rarely are they that gruesome or stomach-churning(..one hunter's holding his recently removed guts, another's face was torn into). There's a light amount of profanity and a peek-a-boo shot of LaBow's nicely developed breasts. The kids aren't that obnoxious(..well, except for Jay who likes to play practical jokes on his peers and hurl lame insults at nerdy Richard), and O'Keeffe as Ed, hides his eyes under a cap most of the time, speaking his dialogue under a bearded scowl. The Sasquatch isn't the least bit scary, and looks like a costume. Nothing that memorable here. You'll probably forget about it soon after it's over.."Clawed.." will hide quietly in the ever-growing number of Bigfoot/Sasquatch flicks that have increased in size over the years. Even the location itself can not enhance the rather dull experience.

dilbertsuperman Steer clear of this piece of junk- it's made for television quality all around with horrible special effects, dopey plot and uninteresting creature. They couldn't even get the sexuality of the campers to be interesting. This movie fails on all points it's a story about sasquatch being pi$$ed off and killing people in the forest and people continually testing to see if that will actually happen. THose that test bigfoot wind up with sausages hanging out of their gut to simulate intestines that were ripped out. Almost scary. But really lame instead. Really lame. Super duper boring dull cast dopey story stupid effects lame. BOOOOo!
