Editorial Reviews

Outside Magazine, November 2000

"Leaving a shaggy mark on the festival circuit, it isn't necessarily about Sasquatches, but people-everyone can identify with these guys."

Product Description

This Award-winning humorous film poses fundamental questions about the origins of man, while reveling in the sub-culture which surrounds the Bigfoot mystery. This is the story of the hunt for Bigfoot and the four old-men who have been searching for the elusive, mythical creature for 40 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent !, April 28, 2005

This review is from: Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt for Bigfoot (DVD)

I bought this when it was released on video tape and have watched it at least 10 times. This is an excellent documentary that places it's focus, not so much on bigfoot, but on the people who have made a name searching for it. At times it is humorous (especially the segments with Rene Dahinden), and at others times very serious. It shows the directions the four "old men" of bigfoot search and research have taken since working together as young men, and the contempt they seem to have for each other now. I found myself feeling sorry for the men when they realize they are getting old and have never seen bigfoot and probably will not live to see it. But it is encouraging to see younger people take up the search in an attempt to carry on.
I, for one, am a believer and hope that one day proof positive is presented to the sceptical world, but at the same time I hope bigfoot is left right where he is. One of the viewpoints brought up is that bigfoot does not have to be shot and the body dragged in for us to realize he exists and always has been out there.
This is a great bigfoot film, and you should buy it, if you're interested.

3.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, but........., April 29, 2005

This review is from: Sasquatch Odyssey: The Hunt for Bigfoot (DVD)

There are some good moments in this DVD. It's intresting watching the "four horsemen" of the sasquatch hunt (Rene Dahinden, John Green, Grover Krantz, Peter Byrne) in interviews and puzzling how none of them get along anymore. Mostly I was disapointed by the extra features on the DVD and the way the producers were subtly poking fun at the subject. All the DVD extras consisted of were opinions on the patterson footage by hollywood make-up artists, not educated scientists or anthropologists. Also, I had read somewhere this DVD contained the complete patterson film, enhanced and uncut. This is not the case. You will only find snippets of the footage throughout the feature as in many other bigfoot documentaries.

If you have a few "fringe science" documentary books/videos/DVD's on your shelf, you'll want to add this to the library. 40% Bigfoot/Yeti/Giant Ape, 60% insight and history into the PEOPLE who've been driving the research for 50 odd years. A bit on the pricey side; but you'll be happy to add it to the collection.
