A different way of telling a story

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Some high school kids have to spend the night in a cell, in an old prison to raise money for the school. During their stay, they get a visit from a menacing creature that wants them dead. Three students and a teacher must find a way to survive.This is kind of a hokey horror comedy that is geared towards the preteens for sure. It did have a Goosebumps feel. The acting was good but it had a cheesy premise and a lot of lame lines. It had a decent budget with a crisp picture.Little kids might still be scared and the big kids might want to just avoid this one altogether.

This may be sold as an homage to the 80's, but believe me, that's not what it is. It's just a really good horror spoof.Honestly, if you're expecting a movie that LOOKS like an 80's movie, go somewhere else. But it sure as heck sounds like one. Great clever comedy with witty performances from everyone. Twists galore and funny stereotypes. Actual teenagers playing teenagers. Useless high school drama, but hilariously played.The big credits go to every actor in this movie who are giving funny and realistic performances that you'd expect from that type of spoof. Turning every trope against itself. Props for also using great practical effects on the monster. An actual MONSTER, not a over-explained cliché.Lastly, the soundtrack is absolutely amazing. For an independent production, instrumentals are fun, quirky and nostalgic of a time where scary could rhyme with funny, even in terms of music.If you can keep your standards low towards the visuals (even though there are some nice shots), you'll definitely be having a bloody good time. Like a Goosebumps episode gone good or an 80's family horror movie.

I went into this film without knowing much about it apart from the poster, and i loved it,numb nuts teenagers fighting against a rubbish creature, it doesn't feel low budget,the camera work is excellent but that's not the point, a crap werewolf is hunting idiots and loses, and then it turns into a Bigfoot and still loses, don't expect Werewolf in London here but if you have a sense of humour you'll like this. The Sheriff in particular is a barrel of one liners, the teenagers are played brilliantly by teenagers, who you wouldn't trust to paint a fence but have no problem out foxing a werewolf/Bigfoot, i loved it, quite clever, loads of funny dialogue, doesn't try to be anything it's not, highly recommended.

Oh, c'mon guys, you've see much worse than this. I've seen countless movies on here that pale in comparison. To each his own, I suppose."Big Bad" was a bit of a mess. It had several missteps, a few unexplained scenes, and in general was hit-'n-miss. Still I kind of enjoyed it--the reason being the director/writer/and producer did have a nice little twist in here that I did not see coming. The plot is pretty basic: As a fundraiser, a high school has students agree to stay overnight in a supposedly haunted jail. That is as far as I'll go on the plot.I also give praise to ANY movie whose plot revolves around teenagers, and then they actually CAST teenagers for the roles--not some 30 year-old's trying to POSE as teenagers. Also, it is nice to see yet another horror movie that does not rely on the gore factor to sell itself.I am not saying this is a great movie, because, well, it isn't. But, like I said in my opening remarks: "Guys, you've seen way worse." Rated "R" for violence and language. I liked it; you guys will have to decide for yourself.
