It coulda been a good one. First few minutes showed promise. On scene shooting was a plus. Interesting story, had it been followed. Rapidly devolved into a confusing mess of improbable set ups, absurd & uninteresting characters and a halfassed serial killer/abduction lesbian blech. Bizarre, and not in a good way.

Troubled Sylvie (a fine and affecting portrayal by Anna Shield) arrives in the small town of Whitehall, New York to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her friend. Turns out a lethal Sasquatch is responsible for the disappearance. Or is it something else entirely?

Director Bruce Wemple relates the absorbing story at a constant pace, ably crafts a creepy dread-ridden atmosphere, and takes time to develop the characters. The clever script by Shields offers a real dandy of a surprise twist. Rachel Finninger contributes an excellent performance as brash and foxy photographer Alex while Dylan Grann as Bigfoot makes for an impressively huge and fearsome beast. It's also nice to see a horror movie with two lesbian protagonists that doesn't make a big deal about it. A cool little flick.

Sylvia (Anna Shields ) ride shares with stranger Alex (Rachel Finninger ) to Whitehall, NY home of many Bigfoot sightings. Her sister disappeared doing the same thing. Her friend Jamie (Grant Schumacher) will follow behind in his own car as soon as he is over Montezuma's revenge. The strangers become lovers with secrets real fast. Why is Bigfoot suddenly a killer?

PLOT SPOILER: The move is "Harry and the Hendersons" meets Mandy Lane. Not many characters. Bigfoot does appear early and often at the end. Not a bad film, it just doesn't stand out. You would think getting beat several times in the face with a rock would break a few teeth and bones.
