Stevieboy666 A gigantic Bigfoot is disturbed when the most pathetic music festival in film history is held near Mount Rushmore and goes on a rampage of death and destruction. There must be about 30 extras that make up the "crowd", they did, however, somehow manage to rope in Alice Cooper to make an appearance, and this for me was the only positive thing that I can say about this awful, cheap movie from The Asylum. Terrible continuity - in one scene there's snow on the ground, the next it's gone, then it's back again! Dreadful CGI effects, much of the acting isn't much better either. There are plenty of bad Bigfoot/Yeti movies out there but this is the worst that I have seen to date. This film is an ABOMINATION!
jerekra Bigfoot is another of those SYFY movies that is pretty bad. But they all are like that so you have to throw your expectations out the window when you see a movie like that and that will help you enjoy it more. I did so when watching this film and only was mildly entertained.The story is about a giant bigfoot that attacks a city during a rock convention. Simple as that.Bigfoot is done with CGI, just like all the other films like this. He looks OK, but when he moves sometimes he looks really bad. This bigfoot did not do anything that stands out besides bite peoples heads off.Human characters are all horrible actors like usual, Danny Bonaduce does play a great jerk in this film tho. All the others are your typical SYFY characters. I thought it was cool that Alice Cooper appeared in this film, he was probably the best part of this movie.The action scenes are typical, nothing special.Pretty standard film, nothing really stands out. I do not really recommend it.
jody-584-488678 This movie was pure fun, for me!Those 45 or older will relish the star-studded cast-from-the-past, including Danny Bonaduce, Barry Williams, Howard Hesseman, and Alice Cooper.Yes, it's a terrible 2/10 low-budget movie, without the awesome star power. But with it, the movie is a joy to watch. I want to give it 10 stars, just for the sheer awesomeness of getting all these stars on-board!! IF ONLY the movie, itself, weren't so silly, and had better production values...I understand that today's children (well...likely anyone under 45) won't have the same nostalgia...since they likely won't recognize these stars. Then, I can imagine the movie being a waste of time. But. If you grew up watching The Partridge Family, The Brady Bunch, and WKRP In Cincinnati, this is a fun jaunt down memory lane. I knew nothing about this film, and took a chance on it. I'm soooooo glad I did! Pure fun!
bababear Watching this, I was more upset watching actors have to say such lame lines in implausible situations than by anything the "big scary" monster could do.Danny Bonaduce (Danny Partridge forty some years ago on "The Partridge Family) and Barry Williams (Greg Brady on "The Brady Bunch" in the 70's) are the "leads" in this epic, playing totally unlikable characters. Bonaduce is a cynical promoter/DJ, Williams is a really bad folk singer who cares about the environment. Bonacuce stages a rock festival that a couple of dozen people attend, the highlight of which is a guest appearance by Bigfoot: displeased by Alice Cooper's song stylings, he eats a few audience members and literally kicks Cooper off the stage.Sherilyn Fenn, an Emmy nominee in the early 1990's for playing high school hottie Audry Horne on "Twin Peaks" gets to wear Marge Gunderson's old hat from "Fargo" as she attempts to impose order on the scene. Also wearing a badge is Bruce Davison, an Oscar nominee for "Longtime Companion." Davison also directed the film. His direction of a kid's program got him an Emmy nomination a few years ago. He's unlikely to get one for this.As I said, the script is terrible. Bigfoot eats people at a rock concert, terrorizes Deadwood, South Dakota, and briefly visits Cedar Rapids. The resolution of the story (well, sort of resolution) comes at Mount Rushmore.But through all the death and disaster, there's no sense of urgency to the proceedings. Fenn does what she can with an underwritten part, but she's now forty-seven years old. She looks fine- she reminds me of Barbara Hale as Della on "Perry Mason"- but this is a film with poorly developed character parts and no leads.Oddly enough, the special effects aren't really bad. There's some nice use of forced perspective. But we don't know where this huge gorilla came from. I don't think that apes of any sort are native to South Dakota. Because the story mechanics call for it, the monster shows up. To keep the story mechanics moving, characters walk into the frame to be Monster Chow.By the way: I'll admit that I fast forwarded a lot, but I have no recollection of Billy Idol showing up for an instant.
