2.5/5
Written by Luke Barnes
Summary
A drunk man, played by Michael Shannon, accidentally convinces his townsfolk of the existence of Bigfoot after a drunken stumble through the woods.
There wasn’t very much to this film. In truth it was nothing I hadn’t seen done better before, with almost everything being deeply played out and predictable. There was not a single moment in this film that took me by surprise.
However, that is not always a bad thing and sometimes there is a comfort in a familiar narrative where you know everything that is going to happen and to an extent that is true here. This film is watchable and none of the characters are particularly offensive in any way allowing you to playfully switch off whilst watching this as it requires nothing from you.
I liked Ian McShane’s drunk old hunter character I thought he was easily the funniest character of the piece and the only one I cared about. Though I did also like seeing Ron Pearlman in a role where he was having a laugh at his own expense and wasn’t taking himself too seriously.
To me the ending was a bit sickly sweet and I didn’t care for that at all if anything I found it to be very false and feel forced.
Overall, a deeply average film but one that is fine to watch if you have nothing better to do.
Pros.
Ian McShane
Ron Pearlman
The tease of a real Big Foot at the end
Cons.
There are no surprises
It is deeply generic
It isn’t funny
