A small town is being terrorized by a killer Bigfoot. One that is blood thirsty, vicious and kills without warning and without discrimination. A scientist by the name of Sarah Evan shows up to help the town's sheriff and his deputy girlfriend Roberta hunt this thing down and put an end to the killings. At the same time, Hunter Crawford is a thug-like character who along with his two henchmen, is hunting the creature himself, for his own personal gain and he does not care who he has to go through to accomplish his goal.

Captivating movie !
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Goofballs in the woods try to figure out what happened to a couple of dumbbells who died violently last night.Lots of talk and other bulls**t. It takes a long time for more of these in-bred scumbags to buy it, and predictably, there's no monster to be found. Why do all these half-wit directors make the same kinds of movies? They want to create, but all they do is regurgitate. Jesus, take a lesson from my words, you greasy dildos.Just another small-time attempt to cash in on interesting subject matter, followed up with just another small-time failure.Avoid this tripe. Go to YouTube and watch the Leonard Nimoy 'In Search Of' episode about Bigfoot instead.
The creatures were the coolest thing about this film. After saying that the acting is awful. The writing is awful. Everything else is pretty much awful too. When the Sheriff and Deputies go searching the forest at night for missing group of survivalist wannabes they don't even have flashlights. Duh some minor details would have changed the rating to at least a two. If you do waste your time watching this try to make it fun by picking out all the things that make this film so terrible. Evidence handlers not wearing latex gloves. Survival trainees without back packs. Actors sounding like they are reading off of cue cards. Like I said in the beginning the creatures did look half decent but you don't really see them until the end.
I bought quite a few Bigfoot movies on DVD recently and after reading reviews for some of them, here on IMDb, I was quite scared that I got myself bunch of crap. One of this mentioned titles was 'Night Claws' directed by David A. Prior which turned out to be the best Bigfoot movie I ever seen and a wonderful throwback to 80's when I started my experience with a horror genre as a kid. First of all - this is more than just an another typical Bigfoot horror film. It's actually much smarter and when you see end credits, you start to realize that makers of the movie not only paid the tribute to the low budget horror movies from 80's but laughed out recent SyFy channel/Asylum crap. It contains some sort of social comment on what happens to the genre today. After first 30 minutes I was pretty sure It's another standard flick where we follow all the rules and clichés of the genre but boy was I wrong. Last 20 minutes brought quite a few heavy surprises, surprises I would never expect but completely appreciated them. So I would say the script is very strong part of the movie. I'm not saying they have dialogues as sharp as machete but the story is just great, especially the ending which I never saw coming! It's a low budget movie so I wasn't expecting any names in the cast and great acting but I found myself surprised again. There is some horrible acting obviously but must I say there are strong performances here as well. Leilani Sarelle who plays female lead was just great. Not only very beautiful but very talented. I remember her from 'Basic Instinct' and 'Harvest' where she did an amazing job and even though 'Night Claws' is different type of movie, she delivered wonderful and boy what a charmer she is. Another great performance comes from Frank Stallone who appears in the end and his part was a real thrill. David Campbell who played the main villain(well 'human' villain) was just awesome so was Ted Prior as an asshole husband on a camping trip. I also noticed Sherrie Rose who holds a huge part in my B movie childhood. I remember her from more movies than I can think of and while she doesn't have that much to do in the movie she still delivers good performance(and she's an eye candy as well) even if It's far from Leilani Sarelle level of acting, Rose is still nice to see. Bad performances are clearly visible for the short time here and there, mostly by Edward Saint Pe, Candace Weber, Chelsea Rowland, Tracy Miller, Jaclynn Stover and Wade Miller. Funny thing is - all of them are more or less bit players and die sooner rather than later. Just like the director/producer would know they are too weak to act longer :) The most important thing for me was Bigfoot himself. I was hoping for a good monster suit and this is exactly what I got. To be more specific, I got way more than I expected because the creature is one of the best I have ever seen. It looks so 80's It's amazing. Beautiful design by Bruce Larsen who works on a big budget movies every day. I hope to see more of his work in the future. As for the music - Chuck Cirino is a genre legend and he composed great score for the film. I was a bit disappointed in his recent work but with his work on 'Night Claws' he brought my faith in him back. All in all 'Night Claws' is an amazing movie if you love low budget horror movies from 80's. I watched the special features and It's clear they wanted to pay the tribute to this kind of cinema which is long gone today. It looks 80's, feels 80's and it has a bunch of cool actors from 80's(Great to see you again Mr. Brown). If you want another 'Saw' movie It's not your kind of film but if you grew up in 80's like me, you should enjoy it. There are few bad performances and it could be more gory but It's hard to find better Bigfoot movie(It's even better than 'Abominable') than 'Night Claws'. I'm giving it 9 stars deep down from my heart for bringing me such a joy!
Well, what can be said about "Night Claws"? For starters, then it really seemed like a movie that should have been made in the late 1980's, because it had that distinct late 80's horror feel to it. And is that good or bad? Well, in a sense it was nostalgic, but entertainment-wise, then it made the movie come off as a joke.The story in "Night Claws" is about some Big Foot creature terrorizing a forest. It is a vicious and bloodthirsty creature that kills just about any sentient creature that ventures into the forest. Why? Well for no apparent reason. It just kills because it can. There is very little meat on the storyline for this movie, which made it even more hard to sit through and not fall asleep.Let's move on to the acting. Where was it? The people in this movie were so unenthusiastic that it was just downright ridiculous. The performances put on by the actors and actresses in this movie was just horrible to behold. There wasn't a single memorable performance here.So what worked for the movie? Well, oddly enough, the Big Foot wasn't actually that shabby to look at, the few times you actually got to see it, which was far in between, mind you. And the music wasn't too bad either, though at times it sounded like something from a horror musical of sorts.I am giving "Night Claws" a 3/10 rating solely based on the design of the Big Foot creature and the 1980's feel there was to the movie, because everything else was not really worth mentioning.
