Plot: Two men exploring the Louisiana swamps encounter a Bigfoot-type creature.
My rating: 6/10
Will I watch it again? No.
This isn't a bad picture. It could use a lot more Bigfoot action (there's not much in it but what there is is pretty good) but the story's alright as is just about everything else. The print I watched was a dirty anamorphic widscreen one which was awesome (I watched in projected on my 11' wide screen). I would love to see this at a drive-in which is where it was meant to be played. It's always fun watching Elam and Taylor. I love those guys. The two leads are likeable which helps. Overall the acting's not that bad and the story is paced well enough I guess. The ending is anti climactic but when you consider everything else and the great Louisiana shooting locations, it's a neat little flick to knock out on a Saturday night. Or you could chalk it up to my being a sucker for movies set in swamps and the woods.
