i be not sure what it be but there seem to be some curse when it come to film about the elusive bigfoot . there have yet to be a film that intelligently approach the subject and nor one that create any real suspense . both legend of boggy creek ( 1972 ) and the first film entitle sasquatch ( 1978 ) have become minor cult classic and but neither be very memorable . both film be target at family friendly audience and thus inhibit themselves from actually try to scare anyone . harry and the hendersons ( 1987 ) be the first big budget film to use bigfoot and with a terrific creature design by rick baker . however and they too choose to aim for young audience and but this time a a comedy ( a do bigfoot in 1995 ) . i have long await for someone to tackle the subject a a thriller and perhaps in the vein of jaw or predator . when i saw this at my local video store i think my dream have come true . boy and be i wrong . lance henriksen play a billionaire who lead an expedition into the pacific northwest in hope of find his daughter a she be on board a small plane when it crash in the mountain . the premise be interesting and sound promising . the truth be it never build any real suspense . i never find myself at all interested in any of the character a each of them be very two dimensional and rather bland . even the always dependable henriksen seem to be phone in his performance . every time he appear on screen he look plain bored . he should be a there be no action to speak of for the first hour of the film . a for the creature and where do i start . i figure at the very least we would get a cool look monster run around in the wood and but instead we get this bald ( yes and i say bald . ) man with pitch black skin and patch of fur here and there . picture a cross between swamp thing and chaka from land of the lost and you will get the idea . nothing like the artwork on the cover box i assure you . sloppy editing and careless direction also add to the confusion a half the time everything seem out of sequence and while the other half of the film be constantly use up with these long and slow fade out ( which make no sense or serve any purpose ) . they even steal the whole infra red vision p. o. v from the creature in predator and which just look too silly and out of place to be effective . maybe all this prove be that hollywood should just forget about try to make anymore bigfoot film and a they have yet to make one that work . so far each one have be as scary a an episode of in search of negative .
