Load of rubbish!!

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Contrary to what some reviewers write, the title is appropriate. The scares and dangers in the film come not from Bigfoot, but from the inhabitants of the area which is Bigfoot Country; the drug-dealers and other rural denizens of Bigfoot Country are the scariest things in those woods.I enjoy found-footage films, but this was boring. The protagonists, while not as annoying as in some other films of this type, still are irritating, what with their insipid dialog and moronic decisions. The cleverest part of the film is the final shot, a close-up of a dead protagonist while in the background Bigfoot walks by--oh, the irony! Unfortunately, I watched this after Wild Men which is a comedy/horror found-footage film about searching for Bigfoot that is much more entertaining. Bigfoot is the scariest thing in the woods in that one.

A routine, paint-by-numbers version of THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, lacking that film's originality, atmosphere, and genuine sense of uneasiness. THE BIGFOOT TAPES certainly has potential and I really wanted to enjoy it; those Californian forest locations look fantastic and are doubtless atmospheric in themselves. What a shame, then, that what ensues is so listless and predictable.A trio of documentary film-makers set out into the woods to prove or disprove the legend of Bigfoot once and for all. There's some minor interest at first as they have run-ins with kooky inhabitants (shades of BLAIR WITCH already) and then lots of aimless wandering around. I could cope with the middle section of the film if it actually went somewhere, but it doesn't. Instead we get a tent attack scene that rips off BLAIR WITCH something rotten, before a dodgy twist ending which is unsatisfying to say the least. THE BIGFOOT TAPES is all build up and no pay off, which is nobody's idea of fun...

As soon as I saw the shoddy camera-work on "Bigfoot County", then I knew this was going to suck big time. I loathe these "found footage" movies, especially because I don't pay to watch something that is shot by a teenager with his first DV camera. It is epically lame on so many levels.The story told in "Bigfoot County" could have been somewhat more interesting and the movie that much more watchable, had they opted to go with proper camera-work and held the cameras steady. But no, that was not to be, and for 82 minutes the audience have to suffer through questionable camera-work and end up with a bad case of SCS (Shaky Cam Syndrome).A young film enthusiast treks into Bigfoot County in his search for clues about the legendary Bigfoot (Sasquatch, Yeti, Abominable Snowman, or whatever you call him in your respective area). And he drags his friend along with him, and also the friend's girlfriend, deep into the woodlands in search for proof of the legendary creature.I will say that the three main cast people did good enough jobs with their given roles, but they were just struggling futilely against the whole "found footage" genre.I managed to suffer through this movie, albeit I was tempted so many times to just turn it off and end my suffering and find something else to watch. So was it worth it? No, not at all. Not unless you count into the equation the hilarious and oh-so-predictable ending to the movie. It was so lame that I ended up in tears from laughing so hard."Bigfoot County" is bad with a big B (might be B for Bigfoot, but it ain't, trust me). And if you are looking for 82 minutes of entertainment, you are best of looking somewhere else, far, far away from this movie. I am giving "Bigfoot County" a 2 out of 10 rating. It manages to scrape itself off the floor and not get a 1 for the actual attempt of making a proper movie, and had they opted (as I mentioned above) for proper steady camera-work, the movie would have rated much higher than a 2 out of 10 rating.

This movie is a 'found-footage' film about a group of documentary makers trying to find evidence that Bigfoot exists. Now I went in to this thinking it may be like 'The Lost Coast Tapes', and it was....in the way that it was just as bad, actually it was worse! It was below average, badly filmed, badly acted, in fact I feel ripped off because I wasted 80 minutes on this rubbish. < SPOILER ALERT > The plot was a rip off of 'The Lost Coast Tapes' to a point, then it went down hill very fast. The only scene that you actually see anything to do with Bigfoot is the last 3 seconds of the movie! If that part wasn't in it the film could have been called something different, because of the fact that the group of people were looking for Bigfoot was the only thing that tied it to the title. As you find out later, the evidence they actually follow is all tied to some rednecks who are trying to protect their marijuana crops. It seemed like the Bigfoot plot was mainly a background story, for the reasons of making this movie appeal to the "Horror/Thriller" market in my opinion. So in closing, this movie is a waste of time! I give it a 1 out of 10.
