Good movie but grossly overrated

Fantastic!

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Don't watch this movie.Even Bigfoot swears this movie doesn't exist, never happened, isn't out there...Just look away.

it's like watching a blank screen with scary noises in the back ground 70% of everything cannot be seen yet of course you have to have a skanky white girl wanting to have sex with her black boyfriend in the woods and a white guy as being a cuckold watching and when he stops them from getting it on the black guy makes it like it's a racial thing) do the movie makers think that Interracial porn of a white chick taking the all mighty BBC going to make more people watch the movie? white girls if your 1st and only priority is having a huge clock then shove a cucumber up your hu hut) sick of these stupid movies why doesn't the white girls have sex with big foot he probably is better in bed than any black guy and is more athletic and has a more powerful clock than the black guys. If big foot was real white women would be the 1st one to have there babies.

This is, in many ways, your classic "found footage" movie — perhaps not surprising since it is directed by Eduardo Sánchez, who brought us The Blair Witch Project. A group of friends aim to spend some time together in the woods, staying in an uncle's old, dilapidated cabin when they aren't riding bikes or taking a dip in the lake. Almost immediately — before they even reach the house — things start to seem a bit awry. They hit some kind of animal with the car — it runs off before they have a chance to even see it — and then hear this mournful cry from the not-so-distance, but, true to the rules of horror movie cliché, they push onward, insisting on arriving at the creepy house in the shroud of darkness.The characters are nothing to write home about — truly forgettable, really, as they all fit into their predictable and stereotypical roles. Brian (played by Chris Osborn) is the amateur filmmaker of the group, always seen with camera in hand. While this might not be the most groundbreaking route to go, it does its part to help explain the main gripe that people usually have with found footage style movies — "why the hell are they still filming and not running the hell away?". Once we get a glimpse of Bigfoot and it's clear that something is stalking the woods around the house, Brian is hopeful that he can catch it on camera and have his moment of fame and recognition. This doesn't mean there aren't a few moments where you're thinking "dude ya couldn't put the camera down for 5 minutes?", but it does help to explain the urgency.Ultimately what I liked about this movie is how much it's almost more of a slasher flick than a mysterious monster movie. Bigfoot is out messin' things up in the daytime and crashing through the windows of the cabin. It chases Matt (played by Samuel Davis) — the brother trying to go for help on his bike — and it's a pretty terrifying scene. It traps the remaining friends in a camper and then terrorizes them — shaking the outside, pushing them towards the edge, and jumping from a cliff down onto them (the scene pictured above — I actually said "WHOA!" out loud when it happened). It's a freaking action star, and I liked that they didn't shy away from showing it (and that the costume and makeup were awesome enough to hold up to broad daylight shots).I don't totally get why Brian was the only one who was spared, but I personally liked the reasoning for the attacks — again, not the most groundbreaking, but it added a sad air to the movie. Not the most unique horror movie, or even specifically monster movie, but definitely a thrill ride.

The thing that annoys me about the majority of these 1st person/found footage "Horror" Movies is that were these situations real, the last thing any normal, sane individual would do is continue filming, especially with a camera as big as this guy carries. The premise is good - friends come out to "cabin in the woods" and are hunted by Bigfoot. Nice idea, in this case badly implemented. There is absolutely no need for this to be 1st person perspective if the storyline and script were strong enough. Sadly, neither are. They hit something with their vehicle en route to the cabin and later - when there is only a couple of them left alive, they begin wondering what they have done to have this Sasquatch hunt them in this manner "we've done nothing wrong" one of them repeats. Not even then do they think to add two and two together. When "hiding" in the abandoned caravan(or trailer for our American Cousins) our Hero's first instinct while watching his friend get dragged of to his death by Mr Sasquatch is to film it all in glorious technicolour. Even when the Hairy guy is dragging him to the burial ground, he refuses to be separated from his beloved camera. 1st Person/Found Footage is an interesting genre if handled correctly, sadly so many movies aren't and this i'm sad to say is definitely one of them.
