Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Jakoba True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Nigel P For a big lad, Big Foot is very adept at killing people whilst keeping himself out of sight. We don't get to see him for a while, and when we do, we are given tantalising shots of silhouettes and various limbs speeding past.At first, the tone of Savage seems to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, with knowing performances from some of the cast. As time goes on, either the tone gets a little darker or I became used to some of the flippant moments. Either way, as the death toll mounts, we are effortlessly invited into darker waters (speaking of which, a solitary eye floating in the river is a moment that provides a perfect mixture of shock and mirth).For a horror film, this isn't going satisfy everyone, although there are some moments of gore and some tension, even if it is difficult to sustain an atmosphere of terror in blazing sunlight. For a low budget project, setting the action amidst forest fires is ambitious (the resultant fires don't look like they need much controlling), but having those fires disturb the habitat of Bigfoot is an interesting plot device.

GL84 After a forest fire brings about numerous causalities, a small town finds itself under siege by the same legendary creature they use to attract tourists and must find a way to stop it's rampage before it kills more townspeople.Overall, this was a pretty decent Bigfoot movie that has some good stuff going for it as well as some flaws. One of the better areas in here is the fact that the body count is pretty high, giving us some pretty good gore in the bloody kills, as well as some great use of the local woodland scenery to provide some tension among the stalking scenes as it portrays the creature as using its environment to ambush its prey effectively. Also of note is the fact that it looks pretty decent as well, being a little more humanoid in appearance and not the big, hulking hairy brute so often associated with these movies, and the change is quite nice. On the downside, it does manage to waste a large amount of time on plot-points that go nowhere which tend to just drag this out by going nowhere and the fact that most of the gore is seen as aftermath and the on-screen mangling is hardly seen firsthand. Otherwise, this one is pretty decent.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language.

Michael O'Keefe Jordan Blum directs this entry in the myriad of Bigfoot movies. A raging wild fire rips through Bear Valley National Park. Shift after shift, firefighters try to contain the blaze that has ousted animals from their habitat. Animals, critters and beasts big and small are displaced. After the flames are under control several firefighters turn up mysteriously ripped apart as if they tangled with a large bear. Park Ranger Owen Fremont(Tony Becker)was just beginning to enjoy his job in the woods after working as a big city cop. Owen is forced to deal with angry campers wanting refunds and ready to leave their camps in the park due to rumors of a sasquatch-like creature on the loose. Old Jack Lund(Martin Kove)knows for sure of an animal resembling Bigfoot in the forest, because as a child he watched it maul his father to death. Not bad; but not that good either. Decent enough to spend a lazy afternoon or rainy night with. Others in the cast: Shane Callahan, Tom Turbiville, Robert Praigo, Lisa Wilcox, Ron Prather, the fetching Anna Enger and Jack Harrison as the creature.

kali90210 In the every burgeoning genre of Bigfoot horror, this goes right to the top, along with Abomination. Admittedly, when this includes stuff like Shriek of the Mutilated it isn't saying much.This was done on a modest budget, according to the director (caught this at a horror film convention) but it looks every bit as good as anything on the Sci Fi channel with the added benefit of good acting and an actual script.One thing i hate in these movie is bad CGI and while I wish they'd gone more for practical effects, the CGI used was pretty good. It's a wise filmmaker who knows to keep things to a minimum.I hope this gets a good release with a push because it's way better than just about any other bigfoot movie out there (other than the aforementioned Abominable, which gets the nod thanks to some effective gore.)
