Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Woodyanders When it comes to delivering plenty of sheer manic anything-for-a-cheap-sensationalistic-jolt supermarket tabloid style thrills, this delectably hokey hoot wins the top tacky prize with deliciously rip-roaring aplomb. Once again your standard motley bunch of instantly recognizable mighty macho man archetypes -- calmly rational leader, rugged rancher, nerdy anthropologist, crotchety mountain man, sloppy cook, noble Native American guy, radical skeptic jerk reporter -- venture into the mountainous Oregon wilderness in search of the eternally evasive, but always alluring Bigfoot. Granted, the trite premise sounds unpromising and the inclusion of the famous Patterson footage is unnecessary, but what this beaut lacks in originality it wholly compensates for with its thrillingly sparky and enthusiastic execution.Director Ed Ragozzino infuses the picture with a crackling sense of urgency, stoking the flick with a joyfully junky vibrancy (the pace in particular hurtles along at a constant pile-driving tempo) that's both entertaining and irresistible. Ed Hawkins' bold, unapologetically lurid script likewise bristles with the same cheeky, dynamic, let's give the audience their grubby money's worth yellow journalism sensibility. The interplay between the expedition members is quite arresting; the mountain man's hearty tall tales and the reporter's cynicism upsetting group morale are especially enthralling. George Lauris' floridly dramatic narration, the whooshing, hyperactive cinematography (dig those crazily lurching POV shots of Mr. Get A Bottle of Nair Already on the prowl), the nifty, harmonious country theme song "High in the Mountains," a jarring grizzly bear attack scene, the fantastic white knuckle Sasquatch demolishes the group's camp grand finale, and Al Capps' furiously bombastic, barnstorming orchestral score further enhance the infectiously schlocky merriment. While this movie doesn't score points for either restraint or subtlety, "Sasquatch, the Legend of Bigfoot" nonetheless in its own blithely low-rent "National Enquiror"-esquire way sizes up as lots of enjoyably trashy pseudo-doc fun.

tinpot90 I can remember my brother and I getting up early on a Sunday morning every six month's or so for a few years just to catch this movie on t.v. on the Sunday morning cinema on WLBZ Bangor station way back in the late 70's and early 80's. I live in Canada and getting American t.v., (cable) as we like to call it, was a real treat. I remember watching it from beginning to end...even the credits at the end... it was that song "high in the mountains" that used to make me believe that a Bigfoot really exists. I lived near a lot of deep woods so right after the movie finished...off I'd go into the wilderness to try and find a Bigfoot..... but I started thinking about when the miners were in their cabin in the woods and how these "bigfeet" attacked them (especially when one of the miners looked out the window and came face to face with one) I would get super scared and run my butt off to get home. This movie is the best documentary in the entire world. After I ordered this movie online I watched it in the exact house I grew up in (my parents house) in the exact room and the television is in the exact part of the room as it was back then (different t.v. though)and I had the experience of real time travel... I had the biggest nostalgic moment ever. All I can say is .... as an adult who never saw this movie as a child you might not find it to be your "thing" as an adult...but to those of us saw it during childhood ...it is a priceless collection. It was shot almost Disney style and is very 70's "ish" quality. I like the fact that you can still see the grains in the film even though it is on DVD....that was the best part to me...seeing it exactly as you saw it as a child. I found this movie to be parallel to another movie I saw as a child around the same time "the legend of boggy creek" .... not the second boggy creek.... that was too goofy...but the first one was absolutely cool and yet another land mark on my childhood. I now own both movies and plan on showing my children in years to come so they can develop a love for the wilderness and it's mysteries like I did. Long live the mysteries of the wild.Rob Francis

bigjake549 One of the best ( scariest ) of all of the sasquatch genre films ever. The scenery of the film's woodlands, animals...etc. is breathtaking, and makes one long for the area and serenity. The actual campiness of the actors fits the times ( 1970's ) - no "professional" crap - just dudes out looking for Bigfoot - period! The creature effects are outstanding!One of the only films of the type to portray the creature as a giant, thick, looming, bulk of a thing, as opposed to a lanky, swampy, monkey-looking biped. The story telling is great,too - re-accounts of past encounters, based on actual true reports. The creature screams in this film are actual, supposed recordings - which will raise the hair on your neck. The only other Bigfoot movie that I saw that was scarier, at times, was The Creature From Black Lake. Several folks say that Sasquatch is cheesy - I disagree emphatically. Iw was well written as a fictional documentary of an encounter with beasts that became aggressive, Also, Barney the cook was goofy - yet hilarious in a slapstick manner.

jodym-3 I was 6 years old when my parents took me to see this movie. This hands down was the scariest movie I ever saw, period. Granted I was only 6, it scared the living daylights out of me. I ended up sleeping between my parents for literally a week after I saw it. It aired again roughly 3 years later on a Saturday afternoon matinée on our local NBC affiliate. I watched it again and thought it was a masterpiece (as bigfoot movies go that is). It is by far and away the best bigfoot movie ever made and should be enjoyed by anyone who has interest in this centuries old mystery. I searched for roughly 22 years until I found a copy of this extremely hard to find movie. I watched it again for the first time with my parents and it didn't disappoint! It holds a special place in my collection and will always be a favorite whether I was 6, 16, or 60!
