Sick Product of a Sick System

Please don't spend money on this.

It is a performances centric movie

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I'm sorry, but I can't seem to give this pile a lower rating than 1. If I could it would be minus 10.First, there are several things in the movie that I'll be bringing up here, so if you don't want spoiled (rolls eyes), leave now. Also let me also say that I do believe in the paranormal and cryptozoology, and this pile contains none of that.I would also like to say that I didn't watch this on Animal Planet. It was renamed "The Creature of Walker County," and shown on Destination America. This is where I saw it. Evidently it sucked so hard that they had to shop it around to other networks. Unless Discovery owns both Animal Planet and Destination America which is entirely possible.This thing claims to be a documentary, but it's not. It's entirely scripted. How do I know? Well, at the beginning they say they got a call and within three weeks had their documentary all funded and a film crew assembled to go shoot it. I'm pretty sure the entertainment industry doesn't work that fast.Secondly, there's a scene with Daniel speaking to the Sheriff while cleaning some sort of assault rifle. Meanwhile there's maybe five or six handguns laying around along with the rifle and shotgun he showed at the beginning of this "documentary." No self-respecting cop would have walked into that. This is the only time these weapons are seen throughout the entire "documentary." He never uses this assault rifle even though it's probably a better weapon than the rifle he uses.The doctor he goes to says something ridiculous like, 'this isn't any animal bite.' What, is she an expert on animal bites? She claims it's a chemical burn. Alright. I can believe that.Daniel claims that the nuclear power plant spews ash and carbon into the air poisoning the environment. Nuclear power plants don't burn anything to produce electricity, how was it spewing all this ash and CO2 into the air? The hazmat suit that the men at the end are shown wearing? Those are suits used in construction to when installing insulation or painting. As for the green gloves, those are dishwashing gloves you can buy at the grocery store. The man who shoves his hand in the camera's lens at the end doesn't even have the filter attached to the gas mask he's wearing! Presumably we're supposed to believe that the white creature he saw was one of these men in white suits accidentally spilling some sort of chemical on his back. I guess pain is pain, and it is probably hard to tell when you don't actually see the attack.In the end, this was worse than any movie produced by SyFy. It was so bad that it couldn't even be made fun of. I really feel that my intelligence was insulted by them claiming it as a "documentary."

As a resident of Walker County and the city of Jasper, Alabama, I would like to go on record as saying that the morons featured in this show are in no way representative of the citizens of this fair city. I wish the producers of these idiotic shows would stop showing scenes of rusted-out trucks sitting in yards full of weeds and stray dogs, abandoned buildings, and trashy trailer parks. Walker County is replete with lovely old homes with colorful gardens, quaint restaurants and shops, and million-dollar mansions on Smith Lake, yet somehow none of these ever make it to the screen.I have never met anyone who believes there is a Sasquatch or any other strange crossbreed creature living in the caves or woods in this area.Thank you for letting me speak my piece.
