Bigfoot County (2012)

Redundant and unnecessary.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

The acting in this movie is really good.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

A routine, paint-by-numbers version of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, lacking that film's originality, atmosphere, and genuine sense of uneasiness. THE BIGFOOT TAPES certainly has potential and I really wanted to enjoy it; those Californian forest locations look fantastic and are doubtless atmospheric in themselves. What a shame, then, that what ensues is so listless and predictable.A trio of documentary film-makers set out into the woods to prove or disprove the legend of Bigfoot once and for all. There's some minor interest at first as they have run-ins with kooky inhabitants (shades of BLAIR WITCH already) and then lots of aimless wandering around. I could cope with the middle section of the film if it actually went somewhere, but it doesn't. Instead we get a tent attack scene that rips off BLAIR WITCH something rotten, before a dodgy twist ending which is unsatisfying to say the least. THE BIGFOOT TAPES is all build up and no pay off, which is nobody's idea of fun...

I find some of the reviews of this film slightly ridiculous. One starts off by saying how they 'loathe found footage films', well why did you watch this then?! Several other reviews complain about the shaky camera work ... erm, it's a fake documentary filmed by people walking around with a hand-held camera, mostly through difficult terrain, wouldn't it be slightly bizarre if the camera-work was perfect?!! Take found footage films for what they are, if you don't like them then don't watch them and then complain about them! I love found footage films, a lot of them are dreadful but this is not one of them. I thought the acting was decent by found footage standards (in other words perfectly OK for this type of film)and at least it wasn't filmed in an abandoned lunatic asylum for a change. The tension is really built up well in this film, there is a lot of weird stuff going on which creeps you out (no in-your-face monsters etc) and you never really know what is stalking the documentary makers. There are weak points, such as the blatant Blair-witch rip off scene (though no doubt the director would claim it's a tribute) and some absurd dialogue bearing in mind the situation the crew are in. Overall though it is a decent effort and if it only cost 600 bucks then hats off to the producers etc. If you like found footage films, watch it. If you don't, don't watch it!

Don't do many reviews but this was so bad it needed to be done. Me and my mates get together every week to watch so called bad low-budget films and so i thought 'The Bigfoot Tapes' as it's known in the UK fitted the bill. What followed was something so inept that i spent the time cringing in my seat in embarrassment that i had subjected them to this. Nothing happens, with most bad films you're guaranteed a few laughs, but with this nothing. Three feckless characters wander aimlessly into the woods in search of Bigfoot with the usual moaning and blaming that always happens and while predictably getting lost they get into an encounter with some hillbillies. By the end of the film, other than feeling overjoyed it's over, you are glad the characters didn't make it as none of them offer anything in the way of likability. Please avoid at all cost even if you are going to watch it as a laugh as the film will end up laughing at you for paying money to see it. Be warned.

All you need to know is this movie SUCKS!! The estimated budget was $600,00? Not only was the acting some of the worst I've seen, it is also annoying. Every other sentence is either got the F-bomb or telling us about how religious people are "crazy". This horrible movie actually made me angry enough to seek out this page and right a review and it's not even half over. DO NOT watch this movie as it is a TOTAL waste of time. GRRR! Is this what Hollywood has become? Horrible actors acting out horrible scripts? Every person associated with this film should be embarrassed that they call this a movie. I bet the word F$#@ is used 1000 times throughout this movie... just horrible...
