Customer Reviews of Sasquatch

Wonderful Movie
This movie opens with enormous energy and sends a thrill down your back of what is to come. I would recommend the purchase of this DVD as it has many qualities that make for great entertainment for you or the kids. The true story aspect, the terrible true life drama that unfolded while shooting, the breath taking wilderness scenes that people from all over will appreciate. The acting by Lance Henriksen is fantastic and Russel Ferrier is an actor after this role worth taking a very close look at.

Some drawbacks on the film are the way this was edited, although it helps in places and hinders in others. The commentary on DVD is fun and interesting. From all the stories I have gathered on how quickly this was shot, the weather conditions, the true life death of their Sasquatch maker, this is a collector for Fans of Sasquatch or Bigfoot or thiller adventurers of all types.

I give this a solid 4/5 - for concept, rugged appeal, and a good old adventure movie.

Come On People---It Wasn't THAT Bad!
most people are reviewing this one saying its extremely dumb and...well, crapola. i have to admit, the first time i saw it(on the sci-fi channel), it [looked bad]! but once i bought the DVD(why, after hating it? i dont know), it became a favorite of mine. yes, the bigfoot creature looks like a huge african with patches of hair, but for petes sake: its sasquath! they dont make many movies that i know of about this guy, so why not this one? at the end it reveals that Plazz(which character that is? i dont know)is marked delusional for his beliefs about what happened with "sasquatch" and is put under psychiatric evaluation at seatle mental institution. if this is a true story, which it claims to be, then id have to go with the ending and say that Plazz was a schizophrenic with prominent hallucinations and delusions. but if so, did Berg and Marla never really exist? if they did, and its true that sasquatch was all Plazz's imagination, then did they really die? if its true that all of this was a link to Plazz's schizophrenia, then how much of this movie really DID happen? people, you have to draw the line somewhere, and they really leave you hanging with the whole "was it Plazz's imagination playing tricks on him, or did the others just want to cover it all up?" thing. still, it was half-way decent and deserves 3 stars. just rent it first and then buy it.

Did any one understand what was going on?
This film opens up with a shot of a plane crash in a mountain. A lone survivor (a young girl) is outside trudging through the snow. From the point-of-view of the Sasquatch we watch as she fires a flare, misses, and gets attacked. Now, I have to side with Bigfoot here...was it really a good idea to shoot at him? "Hey, there's a huge, muscular furry thing that can rip me apart. I think I'll fire a single shot at it." Cut to Lance Henrikson, millionaire extraordinaire, setting up a team to go find his daughter. She was trapped in a snowy mountain...so of course they go into a thick forest...

Then - for some odd reason - they FORGET what their mission is. They start camping in a forest and talking about Bigfoot and starting relationships with each other. It isn't until they find a cave that ol' Lance says, "Wait a minute...my daughter!" His answer to find her is to fire a shot into the air and shout her name. And that's it. "Um...Lance? Your daughter's in the Himalayas, you might wanna yell louder than that..."

Then Bigfoot attacks! Well, he drags a girl ten feet from her tent and leaves. Was she camped out fifty miles from the rest of the group? Why didn't they notice a ten foot tall gorilla-like beast walk into camp and carry a girl off? And why didn't the girl notice what it was?

Some how they come across the crash site where they find out Bigfoot killed every one. Then Bigfoot comes and kills off some of them. In the end, Lance and Bigfoot have a showdown where he decides to spare Chewy because - underneath all that murderous, blood-stained fur - there beats the heart of a good being. A being that killed his daughter and mutilated her corpse, but still a good being...wait, does that make sense...?

Wow, this movie was really bad. Even Lance Henriksson can't save this. Lance, c'mon...I know you've been damned to Direct-to-Video Hell forever...but do you have to pick movies THIS bad?

And hey, I'm just wondering: was this film supposed to be a sexploitation film? That scene where the girl is undressing in her tent with softcore porn music was odd...and turning the camera 180 degrees didn't help. And why did that one girl strip down and get in a forest lake? She is one of two girls in a part of seven, is that a wise thing? And also, I would not step into unknown water in the middle of a thick forest at night. The worms and chiggers must have loved to see her.
