5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sasquatch Documentary, June 27, 2007

This review is from: Eyes In The Dark: The Sasquatch Experience (DVD)

Being a Sasquatch researcher and writer I am always looking into films and documentaries about the Bigfoot mystery. Often times documentaries are rehashed theories, tired unsuccessful methods of tracking and arguments. Imagine my surprise when I wathced Todd Partain's "Eyes in the Dark," Finally a breath of fresh air in the realm of Cine du Sasquatch! Todd gives an excellent collection of accounts from a variety of witnesses and gives us, the viewer, something we often aren't treated to in a Bigfoot piece...great re-enactments of the stories being told! Kudos, Todd, and anyone else on a job well done! Even though this is a small independently produced film this by far surpases many of the documentaries with an actual budget being shown on stations such as Discovery, History and others. And as a special treat we get a brief and humorous "behinds the scenes" look at Todd's buddy reluctantly transforming from man to beast. Shows what a true friend will endure for a pal! Todd, if you plan on future films let me know. You've made a fan!

4.0 out of 5 stars More bigfoot, May 23, 2007

This review is from: Eyes In The Dark: The Sasquatch Experience (DVD)

Being a bigfoot junkie, I watch all kinds of programs and read all kinds of books on the subject of sasquatch. John Partain puts out this independently produced/directed documentary that stemmed from an experience of his family. It appears that the Partains attended one of the Texas Bigfoot Conventions to do these interviews. There are 5 or so tellings of encounters with the top profile one being Scott Herriott's, who with Darryl Owen (not positive that's his last name), expedition ended up with purported video footage of a sasquatch in the bushes (see Squatching/Journey Toward Squatchdom dvd put out by Herriott). The rapid cuts on this interview segment takes something away from it and you get distracted by the cuts. The other perk of this dvd is an interview with "The Bigfoot Hunter" Richard Noll who has put much personal time into this phenomenon but doesn't ever seem to crave any spotlight. He's been around for decades, involved in bigfoot research, and rarely is seen on camera. It's always good to get more encounter stories and it's a good addition to my collection.

Onto the dvd itself... What you get is approx. 50 minutes of documentary containing 5 or so interviews. Then there's the 'behind the scenes' segment which is a 5 minute piece with the Partain children talking and how Partain's friend Tiger was willing to "play" sasquatch. The suit they made isn't the best when seen in this segment but during the actual program it looks pretty good; there's definitely less effort put into other costumes for these kinds of projects and this costume is even better than some that make it into low budget B-movies. This is an independently made dvd of decent quality if somewhat short on running time. The menu is extremely basic and could have looked much better with a little effort in that department. While I'm not as gungho about this dvd as some of the other reviewers, it is certainly worth putting in your collection and watching repeatedly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tremendous Documentary about the people in Bigfooting, December 25, 2007

By 

H.M. 2005 - See all my reviews

This review is from: Eyes In The Dark: The Sasquatch Experience (DVD)

This is a new documentary produced and directed by Todd Partain and his family, and it's a great one. It features Todd's story, as well as the testimonials of Bob Strain, Scott Herriott, Mike Hall and Richard Noll and their experiences. There are recreations (very professionally done) of each story, including the Skookum Cast incident. The recreation actor is also very good, the one in the Sasquatch costume. Dr. Linda Brent, a primatologist is also interviewed about her views on the Sasquatch phenomenon. It is quite a professional and well-done documentary, and highly-recommended. 5 out of 5 stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
