Threadbare script, amateurish acting and particularly silly dialogue - sasquatches are laughable with rubber feet. Avoid!!
This is a low budget monster feature. The Sasquatch are played by actors in suits, but we see them so sparingly thanks to director John Portanova that, to me, that’s never a problem – I often prefer practical effects to CGI anyway, unless there are millions of dollars on offer.
Portanovaa also produces and writes, so his story doesn’t over-exert its ambition, meaning that every set piece can at least be adequately realised. This restraint is commendable, and I enjoyed the resultant film as a result.
A few nice twists, some agreeable characters and a fair pace. Can’t say fairer than that. My score is 7 out of 10.
