⭐️⭐️1/2
A lake house party near the Canadian border leads to the deaths of seven local students. One year later, celebrating their high school graduation, Travis (who was at the party) and his buddy Nate embark on a trip through Canada. We know shit didn’t go well because following some recorded footage from the fateful party, we open with Travis in an interrogation room, laying out what happened on the trip. They were given a route into Canada down an old logging road by a creepy gas station attendant, which the adventurous Nate ate right up. Bad move. The best buds get their asses attacked by some big and hairy somethings. They grab Nate and flee when they set off the car alarm. Travis manages to get ahold of Nate’s brother, Chris, and tells him what went down. He makes his way back to the gas station and the weirdo attendant fills him in on the Sasquatch legend but Travis is sure they were just people in furs. Turns out the gas pumper used to be a professor and an expert on the subject and he shows him a video of one of his seminars (in a scene that gave me some Night of the Demon vibes). He had a theory that Francisco Vázquez de Coronado abandoned some slaves near Canada and they became what we know today as Sasquatch. Chris comes for Travis and they both head to the spot of the abduction, looking to find Nate. Chris gets got and Travis escapes in his truck... which brings us back to the interrogation room. One officer believes Travis is full of shit, the gas station attendant doesn’t back the boy’s story and Travis’ journal paints a picture of a disturbed young man betrayed by his best buddy and his girlfriend. There’s some iffy acting, which distracts slightly, but it still has a nice streak of originality pumping through its veins. It’s not great but it ain’t all bad either.
