Genre: Creature Feature
A cub reporter for a sleazy tabloid is sent to the boondocks to get a story on Bigfoot.
While Bigfoot lurks about the woods looking for beer and nubile women, dozy rednecks hunt for him and random women provide blatant fanservice.
Low-budget films like to establish their tone as early as possible. In this case a brace of nubile women get topless in a river and invite a beer-swigging Bigfoot to join them. Tone established.
What we have here is very low budget movie making using the good old fashioned rubber suit method, no name actors - most of whom will consider this the high point of their career before they go back to local supermarket adverts -and a definite indication that the whole thing was filmed over a weekend.
I can't say I was really that impressed. There's some OK bits but the whole thing never really came together for me. It looked and felt like a bunch of scenes strung together on the flimsiest frame imaginable and wasn't particularly funny, either in its own right or as bad-movie cheesefest.
I also found it telling that they seem to have put more effort into filming the bikini dance contest scene than...pretty much everything else, including the climax. Tone confirmed.
You might like it. I can't honestly say that I did.
