Bigfoot horror movies should be called 'Squatchploitation'
Nice
No
... never considered unless you grew up watching Harry and the Hendersons.
bluemonkey223 that was one of my childhood favourites.
I was one of those kids
Man, you gotta do “the people under the stairs someday”
Radical Reggie
ABSOLUTELY!
I asked about it a while back also. Such a cool, classic movie!
I remember being a kid and thinking all those hidden rooms in that house was so cool lol.
Mr.Johnny_Raincloud I know right!? Man I know that that would be a great video for him to do. I watched it a couple of weeks ago and fell in love all over again.
Fingers like snakes and spiders in their hair? Or are we talking about Harry Potter?
Holy shit forgot about that one, saw it in the theater.
Radical Reggie hell yeah...love that cheesy movie.
you make wack movies seem awesome like for instance i whould never seek this movie out on my own but you kinda sold me on it and a few others in the past you do good reserch and make people actually give b movies or independent movies a try for that we thank you kind sir .
That’s the fun thing about these small movies. There’s so many gems out there that don’t get proper advertisement or funding but are still great. Seeking out good movies, music, and art is an adventure on its own!
This is one of my favourite movies. So beautifully and thoughtfully made
What I love the most about this channel is how engaging it for audience to seek small movies and independent filmmakers, mostly passion projects not unlike this one.
Same here.
Letters From The Big Man, I finally found it. The movie that had a LEGIT Sasquatch that didn't kill but was curious.
There's a lack of Bigfoot films that show the peaceful side of the mysterious animal and instead focus more on a hostile and dangerous Sasquatch.
Yeah i guess Bigfoot movies like harry and the Hendersons and Bigfoot 2009 don't count
@ryanwahlberg5283 I love Harry and the Henderson, just saw it yesterday on Tubi with my youngest sibling. However, there is no way it fits into what I was referring to regarding the actual behaviors of Sasquatch and is more of a comedy for family.
Bigfoot 2009? I can't say much since I haven't seen it.
Edit: I'll edit my comment right after I watch Bigfoot 2009.
Edit 2: OK, I just saw Bigfoot 2009. And my god, it's similar to Harry and the Hendersons. The suit is based off the one used in HATH as it has a mix of anger and peacefulness in it. However, much like HATH, it DOESN'T meet the criteria I am referring to. Letters From The Big Man has something I LOVED about it and is accurate to the portrayal of Sasquatch, it treats it like a peaceful giant who isn't out for blood and at times TRIES to communicate with humans in its way. In actual reports, peaceful Sasquatches watch people and make themselves known and expose themselves, at a distance of course, they even visit some houses but not to intimidate or show aggression, they've been known to leave things for the eyewitnesses to find/see which is exactly what we see in LFTBM (Letters From The Big Man). Harry and Bigfoot 2009are masterpieces in that they are family friendly and make Sasquatch a loveable character, while Letters From The Big Man is gold as it portrays Sasquatch as a more docile being that tries to communicate with people and is based on behavior eyewitnesses report 95-98% of the time.
Your exploring series always leave me with a different view of movies, what the director was trying to do or how hard is to make a movie
Your channel is the best
In honour of George A. Romero and after seeing his name in the Oscars memorial, I think it’s fair to say we need an exploring the original *Dead* trilogy, any one. *Night of the living dead* or *Dawn of the dead* or especially *Day of the dead* seeing as that is in my opinion the best and most enjoyable
Being from the pacific northwest I had to check out the move after watching this. I have to say it's a pretty good watch. Also I'm not sure how to make a request but I'd love to see something on the 1989 punisher movie if you ever get the chance. Love your vids and look forward to the next one!
+1 for 1989 Punisher
Thank you again.........I find myself seeking out a movie that I would NEVER have known about had it not been for your review.......please keep up the AWESOME work........your channel is one of THE BEST out there because of your humor and HUMANITY for these hidden gems! Thank you a million times over!
You are very welcome! Hope you enjoy the movie :)
I recently saw "LETTERS FROM THE BIG MAN" and WOW! WHAT A MOVIE! I loved ALL the characters in the story, especially Lily Rabe....who was tough and vulnerable at the same time........I've begun to seek out other movies with Fiona Dourif as I thought she was very memorable in a small role. Also, thank you for the info and link to FULL MOON/EMPIRE BOX SETS of their PUPPETMASTER SERIES and EMPIRES BLUE RAY COLLECTION and THE JESS FRANCO COLLECTION........ALL were worth the money! Thanks again and please keep up the great work!
What an informative review - thank you - now I need to find a copy/showing...
Bloody Hell
I couldn't wait to get off of work to watch.
Squatch seems like a pretty chill dude. The kinda guy you could hang out with and watch good bad movies with.
Until he wants to eat your ass
I'm going to have to watch this, because I love most movies that are made with total heart and that show what the original movie makers intended. You're so good at pointing out the creators who really believe in what they do.
Very nice, Cecil, as always. Nice turn of pace, too.
Watched this tonight because of this recommendation, was not disappointed! Fantastic film, clamoring for more now!
The Bionic Bigfoot will always be my favorite. I owned all of the toys based on it during my childhood.
The Shape of Hairiness
if we can give Oscars for screwing a fish i say its time for some girl meets Big Foot love stories
That’s what I was thinking too.
MERIDIAN comes to mind. Also there was a Cinemax After Dark flick whose title I can't remember.
Sleepy means The shape of water which is exactly that.
It’s called the Greek and the Greek 2, a Bigfoot porn. Blame the Cinema Snob for those reviews
That fish sex movie, is basically an exact “artsy” remake of our childhoods fish sex movie; Splash.
If you look deeply into it, they just changed the time period, the sexes, the lighting, and the tone. It has almost the exact same main plot points as Splash.
I love this channel so much
For those interested in something new, test footage from this film has recently re-surfaced and is being taken seriously by sasquatch enthusiasts. I even confirmed with costume designer Lee Romaire that it is indeed his costume. Look up "Patterson Gimlin 2.0".
excuse me, Harry and the Henderson's is a great true story about Bigfoot, cant believe you didn't talk about it! :P
I thought Harry and the Hendersons
Was a Documentary :)
Also there was a TV series from 1991 to 93
Yeah it's absurd it isn't mentioned.
1 of the best documentaries on the subject
There's not many things that can cheer me up when I'm in a sh*t mood but.. GoodBadFlicks Notifications make me smile every f*cking time 👌 Thanks Cecil (and Mrs. Cecil) 😃
It's not very often - read 'this is the first time' - that I go and hunt something down just on the strength of a UA-cam review. But I did. I finished this film about half an hour ago and for a movie where very little happens, I found it transfixing. If anything, GoodBadFlicks understates just how good it is, rather than overstates. However, you are going to need to switch on both your imagination and your intelligence to enjoy it.
Harry and the hendersons is my all time fav bigfoot film but this was a pleasant surprise
Wow nice to see a twist is such well worn territory. I wonder if there are UFO movies similar to this.
missed this one. thank you
Harry must have eaten the Henderson's
Azzamatic Nah...
He ate the Russian Snowman.
I like that you make videos on these off-the-beaten-path movies.
man that conclusion at the end really persuaded me into watching it
i'm so excited to watch this! AHS Asylum was the first time i'd seen Lily Rabe in anything, and she is awesome. thank you, Cecil for another great video!
I dig this kind of thriller! The set up for a horror film without the horror. Very creative.
Much as I enjoy your usual fare of 80's flicks I'm enjoying these outside of the box films you've been featuring of late.
Love this picture. Core creep out but for once real and serious. Thanks! Great job!
Love the tag-line on that "BigFoot" poster... "breeds with anything!" What?
Are you sure that's not the tagline for the _porno_ "Big Foot'er"?
Haha That would make more sense, but the poster at 1:49 *seems* to be for a non-porno...
D Sandoval Pretty sure you're thinking of The Geek
I live in bigfoot country, Washington state. Know several people who claim to have seen them. I haven't seen any evidence but would like to think they exist.
I know two separate people here in BC who’ve said they saw one. I trust them, though I’ve never personally seen anything.
Nice work, the film intrigues me and I'd like to check it out. I don't think enough people are talking about the excellent creature effects with the suit. Probably the most realistic I've ever seen and the film didn't even have a big budget. Unfortunately this probably means that pretty soon fraudsters will be creating much more convincing sasquatch videos.
The director just went deep
He was an interesting guy to talk to
I'm kind of interested in the topic and have never heard of this title despite that, so thank you!
Hope you enjoy it!
Jason Butler Harner is a fantastic actor, he's great in 'Ozark.'
I saw a trailer to a Bigfoot film that was still being made maybe a couple years ago. It was about a guy that i think was looking for his brother. And he was going up against bigfoot in a cat and mouse survival sort of way in the wilderness. I cant for the life of me remember what the name was or if it was ever fully made but the trailer for it looked really good. If anyone knows about this please let me know.
Hey, you could do a review of "Dagon" 2001 spanish horror film. Its based on a Lovecraft novel and it's quite good, even though i think it has aged not in a good way.
spaidermenas2 that's a great movie I enjoyed it it was so gory and so cool
I just watched Letters From The Big Man, based on this review video. I really enjoyed the film. Thank you.
I hope Christopher gets a chance, soon, to make that sequel. The storyline demands it. I feel like Lettres from the Big Man is just Chapter 1.
Thanks Cecil, now I may end up seeing my first Bigfoot film.
I watched this movie and I gotta say I don't blame the distributors not picking this up. I would have absolutely no idea how to market this.
I loved Harry and the Henderson's as a child, it was one of my parents' earliest vhs purchases, but it's hard to take something like this seriously, like imagining a serious live action movie about a middle-aged Brony stumbling across twilight sparkle in a hike through Yosemite. There just arent any thing as a Sasquatch in North America. At best, there were Gigantopithecus in China and india 15000 years ago. Maybe a small population in the Himalayas, though it seems unlikely. I'm going to give it a try though, because I so loved Harry and desperately wanted to find one to be my friend.
dude you should totally do a exploring Abominable (2006)
its a bit ridiculous now that i look back it but it scared me as kid when it was shown on syfy. its a pretty solid bigfoot movie with mostly good effects , i think you should check it out
Big Mike 💪🏾
Apparently there's one in the bushland about 10 minutes from me lol, some Woman was jogging late in the afternoon when she saw it sitting on rock or something.
People always leave out the part, that Patterson and Gimlin were in the area to scout locations to shoot a movie.
*A Movie about a Sasquatch*
The movie permits and such are part of the public record in California.
Like a documentary? Got a link to the permits?
Watching this video makes me think that he went in the way of "Harry and the Hendersons" without all the wacky comedy attached to it. It seems like more of a real interaction with Bigfoot and how he might actually be vs the fake always out to kill u kind of interaction with an unknown wildlife. I'm going to certainly give this movie a try and I think I will love it for the feel of loving the unknown creature vs just thinking it's hostile cuz more then likely that's how he would really be a scared quiet misunderstood creature like a big grizzly bear would be in the wild. I cant wait to watch this movie now thank u for making this vid about it.
Hope you enjoy it! Its definitely the most unique take on the subject I've ever seen.
It is I've never heard of a movie like that and makes u really think that maybe Bigfoot is really like that a misunderstood creature that we should be respecting and not just trying to manhunt the poor misunderstood beast. I say just leave the big guy alone to live free instead of banking on him. Thank u for the reply by the way I love your vids and I'm still binge watching them till i have seen them all which for me it's a good thing that u have been doing this channel for a long time now so I can have so much to watch. I even turned my ol' man on to your channel so he can sub and watch your vids also cuz u should have way more subs so I'm going to go on my Facebook and notify all my friends to watch and sub to ur channel cuz it's just too good of a channel to pass up.
Thanks :)
Where did you find this, I have to see it. Finally, a Bigfoot movie I want to see....other than Harry and the Hendersons obviously.
Finally a Big Foot movie that isnt stupid
Great Review. 👍🏼
See, I hear "Bigfoot Drama Film" and it brings all kinds of things to my mind, none of them good. But then, I see your video on it, and you make it sound like such a great film. I gotta go check it out.
You should check out "Strange Wilderness." It portrays Bigfoot as a gentle creature.
This reminded me of a Corey Haim bigfoot movie I saw years ago. I checked his IMDB and it looks like it's called Watchers. Not really a bigfoot movie though, just a Corey vs. a bigfoot-like monster movie. GBF might really like it, check it out.
any recommendations for GOOD bigfoot films?
I love Abominable it's one of my favorite horror films.
Also Sasquatch Mountain is barely a horror film. It's more about the interaction of all the characters. Kind of Tarantino-esque. Sasquatch was portrayed as a good guy in the end of that movie.
ohh!! i got a great idea!..how about one about that movie where it’s all in 1st person view?all the action scenes i bet that would be cool to know about ..i don’t remember the name.
Have you ever seen Rumpelstiltskin? Its right up your alley.
Does anyone know how I can stream this movie? I have tried multiple apps; Amazon prime, hulu , youtube etc. Unable to find it.
I love this movie. ♥️
1:27 A little known fact, Hank Williams Sr. was a big foot enthusiast.
Never heard of this movie. Thanks for the introduction i will def watch it!
Cecil, if I ever won the lottery, I would create a production company to bring back the cheesy 80's style exploitation films and I would love to hire you to run it. To prove how brilliant an idea it is, please notice that Cecil and cheesy both begin with the letter "C". I rest my case.
i got my cinema snob video, but my Monday is incomplete with out my good bad flicks video
We need more Bigfoot movies :)
Yes I always thought that Big Foot or Our Australian Yowie are Very Shy Peaceful Wildman!😉
Excellent as always!
This has rekindled my interest in Cryptozoology. And yes, I do believe the Patterson film is real.
FWIW: It has DEFINITELY NOT been disproven.
I will check this flic out sounds promising. I just watched your review about the avalanche project and i am am totaly with you in terms of the found footage topic. Did you see „exists" by one of the classic blair witch creators? Imo it is very entertaining big foot movie & one of the better ff flics.
Awesome stuff like always. I rly appriciate you & your chanel. Since i sub u my movie collection went a lil bigger ^^ Luv it
Man Sir you do these movie reviews alot of justice thank you
Thanks for this! I totally have to check this one out.
Take a shot everytime you hear sasquatch lol
can you do one on “a knights tale” with Keith ledger when he was young?..kind of a corny movie but for my age when it came out i found it funny. for sure a good bad flick lol.
I'd never even heard of this movie, but I'm pretty certain that I must seek this out. I have a bit of an interest in the subject matter and this sounds like a very original approach to a Sasquatch movie. BTW Cecil, since I know from a few clues that you've dropped over the years (both on here and Radiodrome) that you and I both grew up in the same general area, have you ever heard of the Albatwitch? If not, do yourself a favor and Google the term.
You should do a whole Exploring series of the Tarantinoverse.
hey bud we would love a video on class of 99 or the faculty
PUH-LEEZE take a look at a film called "summer school". Its a veeeery low budget horror anthology film that centers around a kid falling asleep in summer school and waking up to various horror scenarios. Got it as part of a "1 for 20" dvd pack 5 years ago and just found it again.
Summer School from 1987?
Let's not forget, he was also reffered to as "The Geek" ;)
Can you do exploring The Crow?
no studio interference? that a miracle in itself.
"One day I am going to get that dirty animal"!
Mmm... Lily Rabe. Sister Mary Eunice. Dope.
Greetings from 2019!!
Keep up the good work man!
ralphthemoviemaker has an amazing video on the ''Finding Big Show'' kinda shows
Nice try shill, It's an awful video that treats the subject like it's 'Finding Unicorns'.
i think its pretty good, Ralph just doesn't believe in things like that ...and he is very funny
Tiger Blake He's about as funny as a pebble in a shoe and a shit reviewer, up there with YMS and Armoured Sasquatch.
they are actually very good reviewers, YMS showed me a lot of great films i hadnt seen before.. i just dont agree with his frozen review ... im on cecil's side on that one
Tiger Blake I've never been a fan of their bodies of work, their voices grate on me and their opinions are pedestrian, especially YMS proclaiming Blade Runner 2049 is superior to the original Blade Runner pffft not by a long shot, it failed as a sequel in every way possible, namely due it being a direct sequel which it should never have done in the first place and he gives artsy fartsy films a free pass when they can be equally as dog shit as the blockbusters. But if you enjoy their works then more power to you, they are simply not my cup of tea.
love your videos!
The Patty footage has NOT been officially PROVEN to be a hoax... But on the other hand,, they can't prove it's REAL either.
It’s impossible for a number of things in the film to have been faked in 1967, so, for all intents and purposes, it has been proven real. There’s a great 10+ hour six part podcast that interviews film and costume experts, Bob Gimlin, and even covers books that claim it’s a hoax.
@@BlackGuardXIII EXACTLY!.... That thing is REAL!! Scary as hell to think about it, but yeah,, it's the "real deal"! 👍
@@sarlaccstapeworm990 I live in BC and I know two separate people who’ve seen one. I trust them. They were both scared but just from seeing it, not anything else. I’ve hiked and camped in the wilderness here for decades and had nothing ever happen, but that doesn’t make me doubt them.
@@BlackGuardXIII I believe it too (honestly)... Like you,, I've never seen anything up close & personal. But I've heard some REALLY strange things out in the middle of nowhere. Not JUST animal calls that I couldn't even BEGIN to identify (and for as long as I've been hunting/hiking/camping, I've heard EVERY animal native to here)... But I've heard things like HUGE granite boulders sliding around together. I mean boulders as big as a (big) TRUCK! As if it were an entryway stone being moved against a cave wall, or some kind of HUGE boulders sliding around together beneath the ground. I can't explain it,, but I've heard some really "different" kinds of sounds out there. I don't believe that these people are lying,, and I don't believe that they're "crazy" either! I would like to know one day what it was that I've heard,, but a part of me believes that I don't TRULY want to find out. At least, not by running into it!
@@sarlaccstapeworm990 Wow, that’s cool! And yes, I’m the same. I’m in no rush to see one, unless it’s maybe from a long way away!
It was a good film.still surprised you have never did the B Sci Fi movie Ice Pirates.
Love your show.
Harry and the Hendersons used the costume after that. If not it looks very similar.
Yo i found this on amazon i haven't seen anyone cover it. check out "the monster" 2016 the last fifteen minutes derail it but otherwise is fantastic.
never heard of this movie but now I want to watch. but can't find it :(
Netflix get on this!
please do FINAL EXAM or THE STEPFATHER 2 or 3 :)
What happened to your Top Movies of 2017? I love your lists. Thanks for your work.
Still working on it. Mt top 10 lists are usually a little late because I like to be thorough and see as many 2017 movies as possible. (and a lot of big movies always come out at the end of the year) I was hoping to have it by the end of March but its looking like it may slip into April.
GoodBadFlicks Thank you for letting us know. I'm happy (& grateful) to get a list.
One day I'm gonna get that filthy animal! * smash cut to credits *
fun fact - there's more evidence for Sas than jesus...LOL
