The Worst Film Ever

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Admirable film.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A gigantic Bigfoot is disturbed when the most pathetic music festival in film history is held near Mount Rushmore and goes on a rampage of death and destruction. There must be about 30 extras that make up the "crowd", they did, however, somehow manage to rope in Alice Cooper to make an appearance, and this for me was the only positive thing that I can say about this awful, cheap movie from The Asylum. Terrible continuity - in one scene there's snow on the ground, the next it's gone, then it's back again! Dreadful CGI effects, much of the acting isn't much better either. There are plenty of bad Bigfoot/Yeti movies out there but this is the worst that I have seen to date. This film is an ABOMINATION!

BIGFOOT is another Asylum monster movie in which a giant CGI bigfoot rampages through the woods and terrorises people, in particular the organisers of a woodland rock concert. Like previous Asylum movies before it, this film's remit is to grab of a bunch of past-it celebrities and throw them into a non-existent storyline, one that's full of cheese and lame action sequences.That I enjoyed this a little more than the majority of Asylum offerings is only because the ones I usually watch are so very poor (like THE DAY THE EARTH STOPPED, the one I watched right before this). The CGI bigfoot is poor, but not quite as poor as some of the CGI monsters you see in SyFy Channel movies, but the scenes of him going on a destructive rampage, climbing Mount Rushmore and smashing diggers and helicopters, are kind of fun in an ultra-cheesy way.Cast-wise, we get old-time stars Bruce Davison and Sherilynn Fenn, both looking incredibly aged, as the small-town sheriffs on the trail of the beast; Davison also directs for some odd reason. Danny Bonaduce and Barry Williams are the rival old-time TV actors/musicians who square off as the running time progresses. It's an attempt to re-do the Tiffany/Debbie Gibson antagonism/pairing in MEGA SHARK VS. GATOROID although it doesn't work as well here. The best part is Alice Cooper's amusing cameo.

Character actor Bruce Davison (of all people!) directed this silly bit of creature feature b-movie nonsense about an enraged, truly ticked off Bigfoot on a destructive rampage through an area of South Dakota. Syfy channel CGI Bigfoot runs around squishing people underfoot, pulling victims' heads off or crushing them in his bare hands. He snarls and roars, tosses around outhouses, RVs, ATVs, vehicles, and the like, dead set on raising as much havoc as possible. What is even more irresistible than this, you ask? The cast of former stars from yesteryear. Sherilyn Fenn (of Twin Peaks) as a deputy, Harold Hessman (WKRP in Cincinnati) as the mayor, Bruce Davison (X Men) as the sheriff, Danny Bonaduce (Patridge Family) as a radio DJ who decides to take up Sasquatch hunting, and Barry Williams (The Brady Bunch) especially fun as a "tree hugger" hippie former rock star (and Bigfoot supporter who claims that he's only so angry because Bonaduce and mayor Hessman were responsible for tearing up a lot of good land for a rock concert "return of the 80s" festival that the Big Meanie smashes up Incredible Hulk style). This movie got a 10 just because Bonaduce and Williams get into fisticuffs at a bar when Danny starts bragging about shagging Barry's mom! Seeing CGI Bigfoot tossing around CGI cop cars while stomping about while letting out primal screams is only adds extra laughs to this whole cornball experience. Want me to sweeten the pot? Alice Cooper (!) shows up at the rock concert (he says to Bonaduce to promote his book on golf!) ready to cut loose with Bigfoot crashing his act and kicking him out sight! Seeing Cooper and Bonaduce arguing over the shock rocker getting on stage at the sparsely populated concert was just surreal to me. Seeing Barry posters with his face and the tag "Save Bigfoot" was about as WTF. This whole deal is Davison's way of just having fun; he has the right kind of cast to play with the laughable material. It all boils down to Bigfoot laying waste to any local that gets in its way, and the cast wanting to kill (or save) it in the worst possible way.

Ever since Mr. Mercer and myself have endeavored to create our own monster movie based on the legendary bigfoot (you can read more about our efforts here), I've kept an eye out for any and all things related to the ever elusive Sasquatch. Enter the release of 2012′s Bigfoot, a made for TV movie that documents the reign of terror imposed by a creature more relative in size and stature to King Kong than the reportedly gentle giant that roams the forests of North America.There are a number of ways one could approach a film like this, but I would never have guessed that the story would center around a rock concert in the shadow of Mount Rushmore. Two aging foes—who apparently shared glory days as members of jam bands during the 1980′s—lock horns in a dispute that boils down to conservationism versus capitalism. I'll save you the grief of a tedious narrative recap by saying simply that the catalyst that ultimately sets up the confrontation with the creature of cryptozoological lore is idiotic; it's a hammy idea that may have worked had the actors been more willing to "cheese up" the proceedings, but a misplaced sense of seriousness sinks any hopes of intentional laughter. Instead, we get uneven sequences that find our hero and villain spouting off cliché lines (and plot points) about protecting the environment and generating revenue for small town America (respectively).Are you bored yet? If so, I apologize, but this serves to highlight the fatal flaw of Bigfoot: that there isn't enough of well bigfoot. When the monster shows up good fun is had by all, but too much of the movie is bogged down in a dispute between two unlikable characters. Last time I checked, people tune into the SyFy Channel movie of the week because they want over-the-top gore and an overabundance of horrendous special effects. Here, neither is given the screen time it deserves, and the result is a mind-numbing movie with an absolutely infuriating conclusion that's every bit as hollow as Alice Cooper's two minute cameo.Yeah. You read that right. Actually, said appearance might just be the highlight of Bigfoot. As the aging rock star touts before being stepped on by the massive primate, "I'm the scariest thing you'll ever see!"
