Really Bad

Sasquatch (2002)

* (out of 4)

A plane crashes into the Northwestern mountains but after the search is called off one of the victim's rich CEO father (Lance Henriksen) puts together a search team. The team heads off into the mountains to look for the plane as well as a few secret items but soon run into the title creature. I really love watching Bigfoot movies of all types but this one here is probably the worst one I've seen. This film was originally known as The Untold but no matter the title this one is a real stinker. There are countless issues with this film but the most annoying item is the really bad editing, which also features countless fade to black sequences, which get tiresome very quickly. Another issue are the point of view shots of Bigfoot, which are nothing more than the screen going to various colors. I could mention the bad acting, weak story or poor Bigfoot outfit but all of this is to be expected. Even Henriksen comes off looking very bored and bland. This film is apparently based on a true story where a group went out looking for a plane and when they returned they said many members were lost to a Sasquatch attack. That angle of the story might have been a lot more interesting in the right hands but this film just kills any attempt at a good movie.
