Extremely Poor Quality/Production - How did this get on Amaz
Mister Salty | USA | 04/15/2008
(1 out of 5 stars)
"If you're considering buying this movie you should know that it's available for free on youtube in segments. If you actually make it through a 2-minute segment you can decide if it's worth $26.
By reading the amazon reviews you'll notice a huge disparity from the star ratings. They're mostly 1 star reviews and 4-5 star reviews. This type of rating usually means falsification from one end or the other. Please read my original review and the comments by the movie maker/promoter. You may also find his responses to other reviewers. I'd like to accurately provide this information so that viewers can make for themselves an accurate decision.
my original review-----If you have a camera and a means for distribution you can make a DVD movie! That's the message behind this "not-ready for youtube" montage. I thought that it would be something comparable to "Boggy Creek" or "Blair Witch," I was wrong. Bigfoot appears once or twice in a burlap-enhanced fur suit with ill-fitted leggings. And no, this is not a comedy. Inaudible audio, grainy un-lit scenes, angry ranting, uncut tripod shots lasting over 10 minutes and merciless long scenes of babbling make this thing more comparable to a parking ramp surveillance tape than a movie. Do yourself and Bigfoot a favor by avoiding this crypto dud. PS: I noticed that the amazon reviewer who rated this thing 5 stars (original now removed) has the same name as the guy who made the movie, coincidence? or another great mystery?---"
Not too bad, but could be better

"This independent film/docudrama, which won top honors at The New York International Film Festival for best Narrative Feature, takes us to Indian Camp Mountain in Transylvania County, North Carolina, where D.J. Galloway, a former journalist with the Miami Herald (played by Cromer) is telling a story of his father, the local Sheriff, Big Jake Galloway (played by J. Lewis Cromer , James' father) and shows that a Sasquatch or Bigfoot has been killing local livestock and animals. A few local residents play themselves, and there are also actors from the area playing various roles. The acting is not the best in the world, but it is very interesting and entertaining. D.J. seems to be falling apart, getting drunk on a regular basis, depressed and in need of serious psychological help. A group of gentlemen who are either friends of D.J. or people who know him are seen on a patio talking about the situation, and one of them says he might put on his gorilla suit and start scaring people wearing it. Local news reports begin surfacing of more sightings and activity in the small community, and a flashback reveals how D.J. got involved with writing the story which pretty much killed his career as a journalist. The Sheriff discusses a possible killing by the Bigfoot, as well as an alleged sexual harassment by a Bigfoot on a local lady. D.J. interviews several witnesses of the creature, more killings occur, and it leads to...well, I won't give that away. That is Disc 1; Disc 2 is basically alternative views of different scenes in the movie, as well as a few unused scenes. I would give this about a 3 out of 5 stars, but about a 2 for acting, LOL"
Best Docu-Drama

"This film is great. You will see that bigfoot is merely a universal catalyst thru which he epounds on more serious, embedded issues! It won BEST NARRATIVE FEATURE AT THE NEW YORK INTL.INDIE FILM FESTIVAL AND BEST DOCU-DRAMA at the SC Film Festival last year! Definitely worth checking out! "
A Great Southern Gothic

"Being from the South, I loved all of the southern gothic characters, including the snake handler, the sheriff, and especially, the lady in the country store! A great, fun movie!"
Huge waste of time

"This has to be the dumbest and most retarded piece of wasted time ever offered in the movie industry. I was extremely disappointed. I am sorry I wasted my money on this one. It will for sure be back on ebay - if I can do more than give it away. It is put together in such an awkward way with such a terrible narrator/director that by the end of the first 15 minutes the viewer is well nigh a psychotic breakdown. This is just stupid accentuated by ridiculous in a steamy vat of manure. It's not funny, it's not interesting, and I would rather watch Teletubbies - its much more entertaining. Gets my vote for the worst movie ever and should not be sold for money - ought to pay us to watch it."
