Jim and his girlfriend Kelly are visiting the infamous Willow Creek, the alleged home of the original Bigfoot legend – the tale of huge ape like creatures that roam the forests of North America. It was there that in 1967, the legendary beast was captured on film and has terrified and mystified generations since. Keen to explore more than 50 years of truth, folklore, misidentifications and hoaxes, Kelly goes along for the ride to keep Jim happy, whilst he is determined to prove the story is real by capturing the beast on camera. Deep in the dark and silent woods, isolated and hours from human contact, neither Kelly or Jim are prepared for what is hidden between the trees, and what happens when the cameras start rolling...

Well, fuck me. Forty minutes of nothing. A minute of a sock on a tree. Then twenty minutes (!) of a static (!!) scene in a tent that only in its last part (!!!) gets interesting a little (!!!!). That’s followed by ten minutes of going around in circles in the woods, something that hasn’t been cool since The Blair Witch Project in the nineties. Then the shrubs shake. Five minutes of the terrified faces of the protagonists hiding in another shrub at night. And all ends with a minute of the camera being dragged on the ground. The critics on Rotten Tomatoes (currently at 96%) had to be paid, otherwise I don’t understand.
