I'm not expecting much from B-and C grade horror and was looking forward to seeing Ben Browder. I actually thought the outdoor pans and shots were quite beautiful and I though some of that might rub off on the rest of the film. I'm really not a fan of outdoor or Big Foot horror but the two could mesh well. However the change to torture horror (I'm not a fan of it) and escape from that genre/threat horror was a jarring thematic shift that really did not need to be done and added little to the film because one of the killers was revealed minutes earlier. It just made the film wacky D class and shoddy as the mix of used technologies, motives, and introduced questions just added uninteresting weigh to a movie near it's end. I'm so sure people thought this would be interesting different and make the film unique and it did confuse me but it made a hardly tolerable film (it got more difficult to watch as it because more unbelievable) just nonsensical. In short, the pre-ending was all over the place and really detracted from the film. And I'm not convinced that some and not all humans were threatening to the creatures as they seemed to target two groups who came to visit. I'd figure any human could attach more and thus any human was a threat so the residents would have gotten the business also. And the full monster reveal at the end was just a pitiful case of bad effects, better to have left a reveal of a hand or fist with such a poor looking creature. I really cannot recommend this movie, even for fun or for Ben Browder fans. The last 15 minutes cheapens and confuses the film's intent.

Would prefer the film to stick to a simple plot. This Ben Browder fan cannot recommend this film, even for giggles..
Cliched crap done with some film ability.
Film crew goes deep in the forest searching for Big Foot after campers are found dead. Cliches abound. Production value isn't bad, but boring as most of the characters are one dimensional and stereotypical for this type of movie, and the special effects are largely nonexistent. Oh, and the twist ending does nothing to better the film: it actually makes it worse. Really don't bother.
We didn't stage any of this.
A group of college kids goes into the woods to have sex and get eaten by Bigfoot. One goes missing. There is some self-made drone footage. It is known as the Mountaineer Massacre. Failed reality producer Rick Paxton (Ben Browder) wants to shoot a film there about Bigfoot. He rounds up a crew except for Adrienne Barbeau who doesn't want to go back into that swamp again. Did I miss anything else clever?
The goes along well and then OMG why did they ruin it? Did I spend all my time watching this film for this?
Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Lauren Ashlyn O'Brien).
