Exists (due out October)

This is the first movie that I was lucky enough to screen long before its release in October. I went in tentatively as I have never seen a good movie that dealt with Bigfoot. Considering this was made by the man behind The Blair Witch Project, I should have figured if there was someone who could pull off a found footage type of film about Bigfoot, Eduardo Sanchez is that someone.

Don't want to give away too much of the story here. It's a simple set up: 20 somethings secretly go to remote location to party, one is obsessed with filming everything, they piss off Bigfoot, chaos ensues.

As I said I went into the theater a little nervous about how they were going to capture something as iconic as Bigfoot on film. The premise is a simple but believable one. And the suspense is palpable. Sanchez does a brilliant take on Spielberg shark tactic; let the audience build up this monster in their minds before you knock them out with the real thing. And the beast is fantastic. He also does a great thing by supplying a soundtrack to a found footage film but a subtle one and it doesn't take you out of the moment, it sucks you in. The acting can sometime feel forced but the suspense and fear is completely genuine. A-
