After the release of Tahoe Joe garnered some notable attention (mostly criticism and skepticism) it inspired a trending challenge for monster hunters and influencers alike to head out to the area of the film and see if they can get some proof of the legend. Well, some ill-prepared social media dopes get themselves attacked by something and this ends up bringing our hero Michael Rock back into the wilderness to help figure out what the hell happened to the surviving influencer’s friend. Rock catches us up on what went down in the previous outing with all the cryptid hijinks and government bullshit. Rock has a nagging feeling of responsibility for what happened to the missing girl so he meets with Evie to discuss what the hell happened and what can be done. After watching some pretty convincing footage from the missing girl’s phone, Mr. Rock agrees to head out and hopefully rescue her if she’s still breathing. He stops by Dillon’s to let him know he’s heading back and Dillon refuses to go due to promising his family he would never journey out there again. Well, of course he shows up the next day to join his buddy on the return trip to the dangerous territory. They encounter a chonky wolf, a corpse and then a group of armed idiots up to no good in the woods. The gang of unlikable dopes are some kind of backwoods bear poachers or something. Apparently they’ve been protecting their territory and are pissed that the duo of movie makers have brought a shit-ton of interlopers. The head of this little gang is hellbent on catching Tahoe Joe. Joe attacks, our heroes escape, a middle-aged man fight happens, special agents turn up and Rock learns a valuable lesson or two. Various footage is shared from several sources building on the mythology and threat of the creature and there’s a larger budget behind them this time, Dillon Brown and Michael Rock are able to do some impressive world building on their still limited funds. It’s sillier and the utilization of more actors on a budget doesn’t lead to the best of performances but I’m here for a found footage Bigfoot flick and this one at least cuts loose when it gets the chance. I think the more intimate first one worked better but this is still a pretty fun time and gets a bit ridiculous. I’m good with that.
