Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

GOATSUCKER is a really fun low-budget horror film! There are a ton of low-budget horror films that pretend to be cool and quirky and gory, but most of them feel really fake. This film however really delivers. There are great performances. It's funny, campy, scary and gory. And it's legitimately indie which I personally really love! This thing is seriously entertaining and I was literally howling with laughter. Bravo!

The acting, the "special effects," some of the plot--campy and fun! What makes the film great, though, is the way Steve Hudgins' stock characters gained dimension (if not smarts) as the campy plot unfolded. Also love the way he dropped in characters along the way. Perfect amount of backstory to add to the mystery of THE GOATSUCKER!

I had visions of the Blair Witch Project when reading the synopsis on this one. If you are a horror fan this will not disappoint. I like bit of escapism hidden away in the woods. The suspense and horror on this built and delivered in a timely way. Although the judgement of the characters for placing themselves in harm's way was clearly questionable isn't it always when you seen people you identify with getting into a nightmare they cannot escape? In fact the cringe factor in shouting "No!" is part of the deal in watching a good horror and it is when you reach that point that you realise that the film has taken you in and worked in the way that is was supposed to. The story was unpredictable which added to the value and in all I would say a very good horror.

What in the world would bring these people together on a hiking tour into the very woods known to be inhabited by a Goat Sucker? A quest for adventure? Some fresh air and exercise? Hoping to see a Goat Sucker? Screw loose? They all have their reasons...Many of the same questions could be asked of this viewer. What made me think it would be a good idea to watch a film about such questionable judgment? The fact that it is a Big Biting Pig Production of course. As usual Steve Hudgins delivers another "Sucker" punch to those who think they know how the story is going to play out.Shot for the very most part in the woods of Kentucky, I was impressed with the expert camera handling and "extra-effort" angles. The sound was flawless in my observation, no easy task in a location picture I imagine. A truly professional film that belies its' indie origins. The cast of characters steps-up to deliver their all-star talent lending complete believability to the project.It offers parallel plots that twist and turn like some sort of racing roller coaster ride and nobody has been given a seat belt. My advice is "Hold on tight and enjoy the ride," I sure did!
