A Total Joke!

"This "documentary" was so bad I have now changed my mind about how poorly I think the "Rocky Mountain Bigfoot" DVD was, which was very amateurish.

If "negative" stars were available, I would have rated "The Wildman of Kentucky" accordingly. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

If you're used to History Channel-produced documentaries like MonsterQuest, forget about it. This documentary was not professionally-written. Very biased. It had the feel of a home movie. And it's way too long at two hours. They could have summed this up in five minutes.

It starts off with this absolutely annoying rock music, which already told me I was in for a less than scientific approach to the Bigfoot subject. But the rock music just kept coming back. It was played over the people speaking making it difficult to hear what was being said. Then I realized what was being said wasn't that important anyway.

Then there's the histerical use of computer game-style graphics! The producers couldn't afford to conduct re-enactments so about one-quarter of the documentary is comprised of these rediculous graphics that make me feel as though I need to pick up my Xbox 360 controller and start shooting at the Bigfoot.

95% of the info presented has not only been rehashed countless times in other bigfoot books and documentaries, but the info was presented in such a sweeping manner that it had little impact or purpose in the overall documentary. The first 15 to 20 minutes has nothing to do with Kentucky.

Another warning: If you don't like your Bigfoot stories mixed in with other paranormal weirdness, be forewarned. I don't necessarily mind the few mentionings of black panthers, but it started to get too rediculous for me when the "glowing orbs" were being seen but somehow "couldn't be shown on camera."

And of course you have some hillbillies running around in the woods at night hyping it up as they keep repeating "there's something out there...I can hear it...do you hear that?"

There ought to be a law against selling junk like this."

Blech.

"The guy in front me nailed it. Poorly done graphics... looks like a student from a high school or college animation program put this together, which is a great way to grow, but a compelling doc it does not make. Music is absolutely horrible. Also there's 5 minute production tag at the beginning which is pointless. The whole first section of the film feels like one of those tedious filmstrips we used to watch in elementary school full of info we've all heard before (give me something new). Realize who your audience is... it's going to be people interesting in cryptozoology, so you don't have to tell us the history. It's a shame because there is probably a good story buried in there somewhere. When I listened to the book author on Coast To Coast AM, he was compelling, a great story teller and passionate. This video has none of those aspects. I think if you could partner him up with someone who knows how to put together a compelling doc there would be something worth watching. This however, isn't it.

It kind of reminds me of the SNL Digital Short "Sloths" - but two hours longer and not funny."

Where is the wildman?

"I just watched this. If faced with the option to quantum time travel, I would go back to the day I purchased this and right my wrong.

Yes, it was that bad."
