Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

MartianOctocretr5 There can no longer be any controversy. This film gives definitive proof that such things as Sunn Classic pictures actually existed in the '70's, and they were very cheaply made. They actually did employ inexperienced actors to reenact eyewitness testimony of Bigfoot, Yeti, and Nessie close encounters. They actually did use old Super 8 film with inconsistent sound levels. They actually did have the chutzpah to have some tall guy wander around in a cheap Halloween gorilla suit. They actually did advance the testimony of people like a few frightened boy scouts who were telling campfire ghost stories as irrefutable accounts.Peter Graves's ultra-serious "Dragnet" type of stoic narration is priceless; his mission to keep a straight face and tone in light of this amateurish production was more difficult than any he had on the Mission: Impossible series. The "scientific experts" he interviews look like they got their academic degrees from a box of Cracker Jack.Check your belief/skepticism at the door; opinions on the existence of the creatures have nothing at all to do with experiencing this film. This one is just for fun, to laugh at the shoddy production techniques. The film takes itself way too seriously, with various lines of "testimony" that are fun to imitate, and sequences, such as the guy "psychromitizing" a box to discover its contents (um, why not just open it?), which make you laugh so hard you miss half of it. It gets a grade 7 on its laugh value alone.

chargersouthpaw I recorded this movie off of TBS years ago & have just about worn out the tape from watching it over & over again. It covers just about everything you want to know about Bigfoot up until 1975. I would love to see Peter Graves do an updated version with all of the new info that has come out in the past 30 years. The Patterson Film is always the best part of any Bigfoot documentary. Even in 2005 there is nobody that has been able to prove that the film is a fake. I really don't see how anybody can think that it is a man in a monkey suit on that film. There is no way on God's green earth that somebody could have done that good of a job making a suit like that in 1967. Also, hoaxes are really hard to keep up for long periods of time because somebody usually gets loose lipped. Patterson died in '72 & swore on his death bed that the film was real. Bob Gimlin has said that he hasn't made a dime off of the film so if it was a fake, you would think that he would blow the whistle & then collect a ton of money going on the talk show circuit. Then there would be the guy who "played" Bigfoot. Bob Heironimus has said that he was the guy in the suit & was paid $1,000 to do it but never received his money so he started telling people around Yakima, Washington that he was Bigfoot. Until either Bob Gimlin says it was a fake or someone finds the "suit", I will always believe that that film is real.

Matt (QMD333) This movie, "The Mysterious Monsters" is awesome! How this movie is ignored so much by the DVD, Video and TV industry is a sin. If that day ever comes when Bigfoot and/or the Loch Ness Monster are proven beyond any doubt to be real, this movie will appear as it truly is........ like a Classic film way ahead of its time. Peter Graves does a wonderful job of narrating the movie. This movie was a classic in the mid 70's Drive In craze. That it appears to have been forgotten since then is a crime. Its a shame. LISTEN UP DVD, VIDEO AND TV BIGWIGS! THIS MOVIE DESERVES TO BE FULLY RESTORED, DIGITALLY REMASTERED AND SHOWN IN ALL ITS GLORY ON DVD, VIDEO AND TV! This is a classic that is MUCH better than the similar film, "The Legend of Boggy Creek". THAT film is on DVD, and rightly so. But this one should be too. Send an email to people in the DVD, Video, and TV industry and tell them that you want to see "The Mysterious Monsters" treated like the clasic film that it is! Only then, will this movie get the credit and attention that it deserves. "THE MYSTERIOUS MONSTERS" Rocks!

kennymacdonald the film now is dated and some of the proof they show in it has been hoaxed[the famous photo of the loch ness monster]and grover krantz has passed away yet some of the stories that were presented were very good and still hold up[real or otherwise].
