A different way of telling a story
Michael Ledo
A camera crew, with no benefits or life insurance, is on its way to film real evidence from a man (Frank Ashmore) who claims he has seen Bigfoot and has a BF body. Skeptic Sean Reynolds (Drew Rausch) leads this production in hopes of making a reality series out of it. He is accompanied by his producer ex-gf Robyn (Ashley Wood) who believes in earth mysticism. Darryl (Rich McDonald) is the cameraman who admires Robyn and Kevin is the nerdy sound man who "smells." He is also a Bigfoot believer.The characters and the dialouge I would rate as superior to most found footage films. Since they are filming for TV, the found footage aspect is above normal until the last 15 minutes of the film where they toss the camera around as much as possible for effect. This is the third or fourth film I have seen which duplicates the final scene of "Quarantine". Seriously Mr. Grant, all of us losers who still watch these crappy found footage films, have seen that scene several times before.As far as Bigfoot is concerned. Fear not. The special effects did not break the budget. You see more of Mr. B. Foot on the cover than you do in the film.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex or nudity.

I thought Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes was a decent movie that had decent tension built up but then at the end it just fell flat.Basically this guy and his friends pay this guy who claims to have a bigfoot carcass so that they can interview him and make a movie or something. Along the way they are attacked by mysterious creatures and have strange things happen as they try to make this movie.I thought the acting was OK in this film. For what it is, I thought the characters were believable in their motives and emotions.This movie was pretty scary too and built good tension. A few parts made me jump and they do a good job not showing the creatures until the ending of the film.My major complaint about this film is the ending. I did not understand why the devil shows up at the end and was the villain the whole time. Kinda confused me.Overall this movie is OK, I do not strongly recommend it tho because the ending did not do it for me.

So close to something I'd actually recommend, yet I just can't do that. Why can't I? Well I don't mind not actually seeing Bigfoot in this. I'd rather not see him than see another terrible costume, but the whole spotlight thing... Why? Why would they do that? And why the telekinetic stuff? Why not just stick to traditional Bigfoot ideas and just have a big hairy arm grabbing at people if you need someone yanked through a window? The acting was surprisingly good for a Lost Footage film, I actually found myself caring whether or not people in it died. But the ending, it ruined it for me. I hope this team makes another one, but just keeps the extra- dimensional BS out of it. If they kept it just being Bigfoot they would have really had something.

Far from being an awful film, it certainly has it's merits. That in fact makes it a bigger disappointment.The acting is far too staged for this type of film, the hamming is way too put on. It's a constant break from reality which becomes very tedious. Too slow in build up, this is something that I don't usually mind but I had the nagging feeling that I wasn't going to be payed off. I wasn't wrong. The title of the film will leave a sour taste in the mouth of some people, I was pretty disappointed immediately after watching but on reflection I'm thinking it was pretty clever. The characters are just ridiculous, pathetic in fact. Less rounded more ill-written characters you will seldom see.OK the biggest sticking point, the afore mentioned lack of payoff. Throughout the film there are no clever clues, no sneaky sighters nothing. The usual bad horror film decisions from the main characters actually drive the story, this is a massive oversight as I think there could've been a real story to get you teeth into here. You're left with nothing by the time the credits roll, just a feeling of emptiness.Way below the bombastic Troll Hunter which it steals a lot from, could've been waaaay better.
