Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Bera Bellatrixx This movie is the best film ever made in BFW (the "W" stands for "Wisconsin"). Unfortunately, it is also the worst film ever made in BFW and should only be watched by those who believe that snow is entertaining.This movie takes place in BFW. That would be short for bum f**k Wisconsin, and it is the middle of winter too. The practical upshot of this is that every scene has snow in it. Yes, every one of them. Even the scenes shot inside have snow, because there is either a window or else snow melting off of someone who just came in from outside. To be honest, there is one scene without any actual snow in it, which is when the game warden is reading through the newspaper archives. Guess what is on the front page of the newspaper? Yes, a picture of snows. Good grief. Yes, you get to see Bigfoot, but you will also see a whole lot of snow.Did not like this movie at all. Lesson Learned: The phrase "Wardrobe by Kmart" should not appear in a film's credits. Did not like it at all. Boring.
Woodyanders A pair of no-count crackers are savagely killed by Bigfoot after they abduct the enormous fellow's young 'un. A slimy businessman (an outrageously hammy turn by Richard Kennedy; the evil Nazi general in "Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS") who wants to snare the full-size galoot so he can cruelly exploit Sasquatch for his own selfish ends puts a hefty bounty on Bigfoot's head. A bunch of hillbilly hunters, eager to collect the plentiful reward money, venture into the woods to nab the huge hairy humanoid beast. It's obvious that this picture was a true labor of low-budget love for Wisconsin-based Do-It-Yourself auteur Bill Rebane, who not only directed, but also produced, co-wrote the script and even co-edited the feature as well. Additionally, Rebane cast his son Randolph as the baby Bigfoot! Actually, truth be told, Rebane does a pretty skillful job in every department: the performances are acceptable, the pace quick and steady, the photography proficient, the jazzed-up 70's cop show-style score seriously smokes, the philosophical country theme song likewise kicks, the wintry snow-covered landscapes look lovely, the Sasquatch attack scenes are staged with a reasonable amount of vigor, and we even got a nice dash of savory local folklore (the creatures are described as the "Legend of Aurak"). Heck, the sterling B-movie cast alone earns this pup a passing mark: the ubiquitous exploitation flick twosome of John Goff and George "Buck" Flower (who also appear together in Rebane's "The Alpha Incident"), "Blood Beach" 's Otis Young, Stafford ("The Zebra Force," "The Forrest") Morgan, and Buck's sweetly plump daughter Verkina. The Bigfoot family, who more closely resemble yetis with their white fur, teeth and claws, are a reliable source of unintentional amusement, for they prove to be more fat, clumsy and lumbering than George "Buck" Flower.
MACREADY-3 Its a sin how these things are made, but then again we wouldn't get to see the best "Dummy scene" ever filmed. Ahhh the beauty of low budget Bigfoot flicks, you lean to see the beauty the more you watch them, thats if your brain doesn't melt first. As I said before, this has the best dummy scene ever! Words cant express it, you have to see it for yourself. Wonderful lines such as "Smells like decain flesh", "Thems human..."(You will know this one when you see it) The creature makes a Blah, Blah! sound and the scene where the baby gets shot will make you cry(with laughter) you will be rewinding it. Has a car chase, snowmobile chase, a Bigfoot folk song as well as a Disco song. It dosn't end there, while watching the credits a friend noticed "Wardrobe provided by K-Mart". You ask, how could you even get as far as the credits and then watch them? I could only explain this as a sort of shock to the brain, you are so mentally exhausted you cant move and also I guess you have to know who was behind the mess. All that being said, this is a must see especially if you want to punish yourself mentally. Its a keeper!
JaneDoe3 Hard to find but if you can get a copy, you're in for a real treat. Years before ANACONDA "terrorized" us with a giant rubber snake, there was THE CAPTURE OF BIGFOOT. If you like outrageously bad special effects and over-the-top acting, this one's for you. A real campy funfest.Some highlights: * The guy who plays the rich old miser (I believe his name in the film is "Olsen") recites his lines with such vigor and energy, each scene necessitates at least one press of the "rewind" button on your VCR remote. Watch for the scene where he interrogates a hospitalized employee of his. He shakes him vigourously, demanding he answer "Who was it? Was it Arak?!" * The special effects and sound effects are a hoot. Hard to do justice in words, they have to been seen to be appreciated. * And listen closely to the lyrics of the closing credits song. It sounds like a Harry Chapin record but the words must've been written by Ozzy Ozbourne: "You'll never find freedom, you'll only find lies/ You'll only find freedom the day that you die". Yikes. And just what the hell does that have to do with Bigfoot?Also recommended: STARCRASH (1979)
