I had written a review on this and went to submit it as a 2/10 rating but saw that someone had already reviewed it for Bloody Disgusting and gave it a SIX out of 10!?? WTF. Ill admit, the Red camera looks good, but its the camera, not the film maker. Total overacted, no monster, garbage.
The vast array of bigfoot titles is far and wide in the horror genre – almost all of them with two things in common: they’re often extremely low budget, and they almost never produce a bigfoot / monster (as you might see in a forest monster movie like THE PROPHECY). Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes is no different. In fact, if you read no further, allow me to do you a quick public service, and ask you to forget what you’re doing and run for your life before you whisk this up and waste 90 minutes of your life.
I dont expect much from my bigfoot films. One of my favorite titles of all time is THE LEGEND OF BIGFOOT from the early 1970s, and that should tell you right there that I dont need much from my bigfoot films. Hell, I dont even know what it is I like about it. Its 95% grainy stock footage of animals living in the wild, 4% Ivan Marx, and 1% Peggy dressed in a hairy costume – but it still beats the heck out of THE LOST COAST TAPES and its 95% first-person camera living Hell, 5% screaming at things that are off camera, and 0% bigfoot, no matter how nice that Red camera makes things look.
If the story here matters, its about a discredited paranormal journalist named Sean Reynolds (TV’s Drew Rausch) who reassembles his old crew (Rich McDonald, Noah Weisberg, and Ashley Wood) and drops a large sum of money for the rights to film what is supposed to be the first ever dead body of a sasquatch, killed by a self-proclaimed “Bigfoot hunter” named Drybeck (Frank Ashmore). They find footprints, hair, even a severed fingertip – but more than anything you’ll see arguing in the woods, uncomfortable overacting in an otherwise empty forest, and another craw in the cap for people who claim that first person footage films are shaky, make you sick, and just plain bad.
In short, this is a cheap TROLL HUNTER knock off, with no special effects.
