Bigfoot Film Analysis

Improved Essays
My wife and I this past Saturday night, watched the SYFY Channels new original movie; Bigfoot. One one hand it was absolutely horrible, and on many levels. Yet on the other hand so cheesetastic, it would be one of those you didn't want to miss if a fan of 'B-Movies'. With these type of films, lack of money usually effects the whole production. It's what happens when as a filmmaker, you dream of having a budget in the millions, and instead you're asking actors to work for scale because you don't have the budget to pay them what might get in another production.

He isn't much better an actor than Barry Williams. Between the two he would be the better thespian. At least he displays more than two styles of which to deliver his lines. Could have been the roles they were portraying? Williams a no nonsense environmentalist. Bonaduce, a local DJ, and opportunist. Not that far a stretch for Danny seeing that's what he pretty much does in real life.

Classic rocker Alice Cooper does a cameo. One of the funniest parts of the movie, by the way.

BIGFOOT: This is all done by computer effects. Not that hard to find in the woods I would imagine seeing that the creature would be over four stories tall. Think the Nancy Archer role in 50's B science fiction film, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. Now with LOTS more hair. Add to that the creature HATES all people.

I did love the way Bigfoott killed its victims. My favorite way; picks them up and bite their heads off. For variety, others he would throw great distances. Stepping on people like bugs was also a way it dealt with those it didn't like. This of course provided for moments where seriously bad actors could hold their hands up and scream pretending the monster was right there, and ready to ounce of them. Like I said;

Doubters simply play off this species existence by arguing that it is a misidentified large animal or question why there has been no evidence that proves Bigfoot’s existence is guaranteed, even though evidence does exist that undoubtedly proves sasquatch are alive inhabiting areas around the entire globe.…
