The desperate search for a missing boy in an area of Montana forest (in which the neighboring township has seen an increase in missing livestock) has a reluctant reporter who thinks this shit is below him and his cameraman joining up with a group of hunters and local authorities as they trek through said wilderness. A car accident and a savagely mutilated man reveals there’s a whole lot more going on and our reporter “hero” sees one hell of a story. To the surprise of absolutely nobody watching at home, shit hits the fan and our media men come to realize they ain’t up against any threat accepted by science and certainly not the rogue grizzly that the gung-ho hunters think is responsible for the awfulness. Characters with some depth and quirk keep things going as we join the action from the POV of our cameraman while the group of well-intentioned goobers are whittled down by something very dangerous. Not all performances are helpful in the important suspension of disbelief needed for a found footage flick’s success but it’s still a Bigfoot movie and a solid one at that. I’m a bit more forgiving of any movie featuring that classic cryptid. Bonus points because this bad boy ain’t shy about showing their practical-effects man-in-a-suit monster.
