5.0 out of 5 stars
Mysterious Seventies, November 26, 2006
This review is from: Mystery of Bigfoot (DVD)
This is the best documentary I have seen on Bigfoot. I mean, I have seen countless movies about Bigfoot and this one takes the cake. There is something about documentaries that were made during the 1970's that just make the subject matter so darn interesting.
Peter Graves IS the perfect choice for hosting and narrating this "mysterious monster". There are some pretty frightening re-enactments of bigfoot sightings as well as a descriptive word that I had never heard used in any context. Peter Graves asks a scientist to "(watch the film to find out)* what is in his briefcase.
This is a must see. Get it if you can. D'OH! I almost forgot, they talk about Loch Ness too!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Tremendously entertaining Documentary, and the one which got me interested in Sasquatch!!!, December 25, 2007
This review is from: Mystery of Bigfoot (DVD)
This film, first released in 1975 in theaters, is really well-done and balanced. Peter Graves, formerly of the Mission Impossible TV series, is our host, and really gives it a cool feel. The film focuses mainly on Bigfoot, but devotes brief segments to the Yeti and the Loch Ness Monster, which do not detract from the subject matter at all. Some sightings are included and recreated in the documentary which have not been seen in any medium, printed or otherwise. The major pieces of evidence are analyzed, like photos, footprints, films (including the Patterson/Gimlin film), hair samples, fecal samples, the Minnesota Iceman and other forms of evidence for Bigfoot. Several luminaries in Bigfootery and cryptozoology are featured, including the late Dr. Grover Krantz, Peter Byrne, Robert W. Morgan, Tim Dinsdale, Robert Rines and others. The documentary also discusses the historical accounts of sightings in America and does a great job of documenting the classic Bigfoot stories, like the Albert Ostman story and the Fred Beck story. This documentary is highly recommended.

This one is for the big foot fans!, October 3, 2007
This review is from: Mystery of Bigfoot (DVD)
Im a child of the seventies and that was back when sasquatch was the man!Ive always been a bigfoot fan even though I dont believe he exists I just like the Idea of bigfoot.Anyway I thought this was quite interesting and they did a pretty good job on the make up.Most bigfoot movies or documentarys always have a guy in a cheap monkey suit running around the woods. This documentary made them look more realistic.
