1.0 out of 5 stars Amateur crap, September 9, 2005

Cousin Jacob - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rocky Mountain Bigfoot (DVD)

Terrible, amateur-ish filmmaking (not to mention DVD authoring my 13-year-cousin could achieve on his PC in his bedroom).

Half this so-called documentary is spent "investigating" one eyewitness' sighting. The video crew (apparently students from Idaho State U) decide they're equipped to make a scientific, biological investigation and it comes off like a cheap version of The Real World. Laughable. Don't waste your time or your money.

This review is from: Rocky Mountain Bigfoot (DVD)

This DVD was produced in 2004 in the state of Idaho by a 5-time Emmy winner and his intrepid crew, and I recommend it if you want to hear some good eyewitness accounts from the state of Idaho, and also hear from Dr. Jeff Meldrum. One of the more interesting parts of this documentary is when a group of students decides to try to fool Dr. Meldrum with a fake track made out of all things, a piece of a pumpkin shaped like a foot with dermal ridges painted on. It's a neat trick, since a pumpkin does resemble a human foot in texture, but Dr. Meldrum isn't so easily fooled. Two compelling eyewitness accounts round up the first half-hour, with both interviewees believing that they had sightings because they were engaged in activity that attracted the attention of the Sasquatch. Dr. Meldrum is also seen in the field investigating with a group of researchers. The first half-hour I have no problem with; the second half-hour leaves a bit to be desired. A crew of young students goes out in the woods in what can only be described as a cross between The Blair Witch Project and The Real World. The five students don't seem to have the most basic clue about how to react when a Bigfoot is nearby (they freak out when they hear a pack of geese fly over, for cripes' sake!). They mistake the geese for a bunch of monkeys chattering, which indicates they are true greenhorns who don't know the most basic things about the forest sounds. They do lay out bait consisting of oatmeal, which seems pretty sound strategy to be honest, since Dr. Meldrum did mention that in the course of his field research, he heard backpacks being rifled through by some animal, possibly a Sasquatch, but he did not see it for sure. However, the main things that were taken were oatmeal packets by whatever animal ransacked the backpacks. I won't give away too much more, but this documentary isn't too bad, and I do recommend it, even with a few reservations. It is available through Amazon.com

1.0 out of 5 stars At least it's narrated by Hitchcock...., June 15, 2005

This review is from: Rocky Mountain Bigfoot (DVD)

Too bad it's Carrie Hitchcock.

Makes an attempt at being a serious documentary for 24 minutes, then it turns into an episode of MTV's Real World goes camping in Idaho to look for Bigfoot.

The minutae of camping in a State Forrest(20 feet from a concrete bench) are yours to enjoy for the next 30 minutes until we are finally allowed to resume our lives.

On the plus side, you get classic lines like "While Russ initiates the process of building a fire" and "I can't feel my feet". And my personal favorite(who thought you'd ever hear this in a Bigfoot documentary?) "I couldn't find my pants".

Almost MST3K worthy.
Peace.
