Sean Reynolds, a highly acclaimed investigative journalist (who strongly believed in paranormal phenomena), destroyed his career when the most watched episode of his reality show, based on paranormal phenomena, turned out to be a hoax. Sean saw a news report on a "Bigfoot Hunter" (Carl Drybeck) who claimed to possess the body of a dead Sasquatch. He believes Drybeck is a phony and decides to create a new show that reveals people's paranormal claims as hoaxes. Sean assembles his old film crew and heads to Northern California's "Lost Coast" to meet with and interview Drybeck. Obsessed, Sean is staking his comeback, his life and the lives of his documentary film crew on proving Drybeck's claim to be a hoax.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I watched this documentary-as it was suppose to be-and was THROUGHLY disappointed in this ENTIRE film. POORLY documented, edited, written, and produced. I would advìse NO ONE to waste their time-as I did-watching this film. The language was ATROCIOUS, BARBARIC, REVOLTING, and APPALLING!!!!!!!!! No; I am NOT a producer, editor, or filmmaker. Nothing to do with movies; other than- like most of you-watching them. If your plans are to watch this film, please; think deeply about the comments made-by those who did not like this film, but watched it-and consider what is said, and make your choice. If you are a person of colorful language, than this is the film for you. If you are not-as obviously as I am-you WILL NOT like or enjoy this documentary or film.
This movie was just horrible. I could make a better movie on a low budget. They couldn't even do research about Bigfoot. I am from the South. I know Bigfoot information. They didn't have to include where the guy killed himself. That was horrible. Little kids could watch this with their parents and then they will ask about it. The calls were all wrong. They were too high pitched. They are suppose to be throaty and or deep. They can't climb trees. They do not eat or harm people. They will watch people, but will not eat or harm one. There was a bright light in the middle of the woods. Like really?! There's nothing around them. To top it off, it's horror, but not even scary at all.
Although I didn't expect this film to be a top-notch horror flick, the more that I watched it, the less that I liked it. There were a few decent, if predictable moments, but for the most part, I found it to be more annoying that frightening or engrossing. The acting was passable, and the female lead, Ashley Wood, is physically quite lovely. Overall, however, I felt that the movie tried to introduce too many questions. Are there actual Sasquatches? Are they benign creatures that feel threatened by the intrusion of humans in their habitat or environment, or are they actually predatory and dangerous? Those questions could have been posed, and plausibly, to help the movie along. But when the bright lights began to presage or herald the presence of a creature, or creatures, that turned out NOT to be Sasquatches, the movie lost me. Were these supposed to be "spirit lights", which the Sasquatches were supposed to guard and protect mankind from and against? If so, they did a pretty lousy job of it.The impression that I got from the movie was that there were two species of woodlands beasts; the Sasquatches, and this mysterious other creature, which was shown to have hooves as opposed to hominid feet. My guess is that the true villain and threat in the movie came in the form of another mythical creature, the Wendigo, which is purportedly possessed of hoof-like feet, and is also supposed to be quite large.Whatever the case, if this was a "Sasquatch versus Wendigo, which one is it?" type movie, it failed fairly miserably, in my estimation. There were too many elements for which there wasn't even a hint of plausible explanation as to what was actually going on.Were there Sasquatches? The movie would suggest that there were, given that the female lead states at one point during the movie that she felt no menace when she was picked up and carted off by some mysterious creature. She says that she felt as though the creature, whatever it was, was trying to keep her from harm, rather than trying to harm her. When she does eventually get picked off, we see for the first time, the hooves of the creature that does do her in. The hooves are seen again at the very end of the movie; they are clearly not the feet of a hominid.So, was the menace a Wendigo? Who knows? Was it some space alien crytpid, whose presence was heralded by the intense white light evinced whenever it appeared to wreak mayhem and carnage? Again, who knows? In any case, I found myself not really caring one way or the other by the end of the movie.
They probably spent more money on this than the Blair Witch Project and yet they couldn't get one good actor. Every one of these reality documentary movies suck. The actors in this movie try so hard to act like they're not act acting.........Fail. You can actually here something approaching when they are supposedly in the middle of no where and the suspense builds and then a car drives by at night with headlights on behind them. They don't acknowledge it of course cause they are supposedly in the middle of no where . Oops! Then later on there seems to be no way out and there trapped in the Forrest, but why not use the highway that was located about 100 ft from their cabin area? .......come on. When they screened the movie before the release did they actually just look at one another and say screw it. I thought maybe the movie would redeem itself by actually showing a cool dead Bigfoot or something on camera but nope just garbage. Then you find out not only is there Bigfoot walking around in the Forrest, but there is a hoofed creature at the end...........so dumb. Then one dude killed himself, I'm actually wondering if that was real footage though? Cause I would of probably offed myself watching the play back of this horrible movie I was apart of. I was actually really scared at one point while watching this movie, then I realized I have a free red box code so I didn't feel so scared that I wasted a $1.30.
