5.0 out of 5 stars
Well, I really enjoyed it., July 12, 2006
This is about some archaeologists who, guided by some forest rangers, hike back into the mountains to investigate some odd bones that they have in their museum. The bones were brought in by some trappers who lived in the area many years ago. Overall, these folks are a very likable bunch. Some of the acting is a tad cheesy, and one guy is prone to speaking in a monotone, but I'm so used to watching low budget movies where I couldn't care less if everyone gets killed (half the time I'm cheering for them to die in some horrible way), that I was impressed that I actually cared about these folks and didn't want to see them get killed.
Once in the mountains, they discover some burial mounds and dig up the bones of, yup, you guessed it, Sasquatch! Well, turns out the Sasquatch don't like people messing with their graveyard, and a night of terror ensues. I really liked this part of the movie, all the cheesiness is gone and it gets very serious. It's done quite well, with nice night photography in the forest, good theme music, good dialogue, and good performances from the actors. I remember when I was in the Cub Scouts and the counselors told a scary story around the campfire, then somebody jumped out of the trees and we all scattered. Being little kids, we fell for it hook line and sinker. This part of the movie brought back memories of that. Yes, the CGI Sasquatch do look pretty bad in certain scenes, but overall I'd say they look good. It allows them to be very large and move quickly, a nice change from the usual guy in a suit that, because of the bulky suit, looks hilarious trying to keep up with his intended victims.
Overall, I'd definitely recommend this to lovers of low budget movies. You even get a busty babe taking a shower in a bikini.

So crappy its awesome, November 23, 2005
On one fateful day, me and my friends decided to rent Sasquatch Hunters. There was nothing else mind you so we just stuck with that.
Now, we knew what we were in for. Stale acting, bad direction, your basic B-movie. Well lemme tell you, we got more than we bargain for.
First off, the story itself is pretty weak. I know this because i still don't know what its about. But what i can tell you is that there is a team of scientists and a team of rangers going into the woods.
The very first scene sold us on the movie. The sasquatch grabs a hunter by the legs and swings him into a tree. Now it may not sound stupid, but the special fx its done with make it all the more funny.
Speaking of special fx, the fx in the movie suck. A lot. They are to the point where its comical.
This movie has some of the worst acting i have seen. One guy has trouble acting dead. When he is killed by the sasquatch he is covered with a sheet. When we see the sheet covered body you can see the sheet rising and lowering because the actor is breathing.
Another guy is being stalked by the sasquatch. They guy doesn't know this of course but he still has his gun ready. The sasquatch pops out about 30 ft behind him and roars. So what does the guy do? He runs 5 feet, does a flip, gets up and fires his gun to the left of him into some trees. This scene is the best in the whole movie in my opinion.
The movie is quite boring though. Thre are parts where the movie drones on for too damn long. But when the action comes its well worth it.
Overall this movie is definitely a renter. The fact that all this is going on with actors with straight faces makes it too awesome to pass up.

Bigfoot crapfest!, September 13, 2005
To say this film is poorly acted is an understatement. To say that the sasquatch cgi monsters are terrible is an understatement. Those B-grade 1970's bigfoot films like Creature From Black Lake and the Boggy Creek series are FAR better than this stinker -- a shame in this age of modern technology and film making. The movie's story isn't half-bad, but its execution was a disaster. This one is for bigfoot movie fans ONLY, and then only if you can get it cheap. Dog crap on a stick!
