Bob Gray seems to be a likable guy and I appreciate his accomplishment in making a movie with such a small budget, but man oh man this movie was absolute torture to sit through. I forced myself to watch until the very end, hoping it would redeem itself with some inspired lunacy or an interesting twist. But nope, it was cliché after cliché, with some of the most wooden acting I've ever seen. Bob was at least animated, if amateurish. He was the only character with any trace of charisma. The rest of the cast seemed to have been woken up moments before they were required to perform their lines. This could all be forgiven, but the movie took itself way too seriously-what would have been moderately amusing as camp was deadly dull as straight drama. Don't be fooled by the Troma affiliation - Toxic Avenger this ain't!

The ex-war hero comes home to his old town and meets up with his old friend who happens to be the sheriff. As he tries to settle into a family routine for his young daughter's stability he starts to see odd things. Then the $417 hits the fan. Maulings in the woods, people starting to get hacked up... It builds and builds until you guessed it the war hero has to take him out. There are a few twists and turns, a romantic backdrop, (really hot ranger chick) and a tear jerking scene when one of the good guys bite it. The fights scenes are edge of the seat with great special effects, huge explosions and such. Amazing it was done with such a small budget.All in all enjoyable for a movie night at home. Check it out for yourself. Definitely worth a rental.

As far as B movies go, Gray's Bigfoot delivers the punch you'd expect. The entire production was done in a "Hollywood" environment and the quality shows in the finished product. Bob exploits many situations to intensify the comedy as with the "backwoods hunters" during the town hunting scene. The talent was above average and that also paid off in the end. People may call it "hooky" or "corny" but that is exactly what Roger Corman knew fore score and many moons ago when he created the B movie in Hollywood. All these things make Bigfoot a unique and enjoyable independent film. And more importantly opens doors for other independent film makers in the area; such as myself. You can visit our website (www.oldschoolhorror.com)and view the exclusive Bob Gray Productions page for more details and the history of its production; as well as links to Bob's own official site. But if you do 1 thing, see the movie! You'll be glad you did if you enjoy the old school B horror flick!

I had a chance to attend a midnight screening of Bigfoot at local film festival here in New York. What impressed me most is that writer-director-co-star Bob Gray delivered a product far superior to the likes of, lets say "Sasquatch Hunters", on what I understand was a far smaller budget. Bigfoot is fun, effectively written and directed. OK, yes, it never fully escapes feeling like a B movie, but I think that's the idea. This movie knows what it is, a fun, at times campy, but always entertaining horror film about Bigfoot on the loose. The camera work is inventive, and some of the characters are far better performed written and performed than you'd imagine. In a supporting role, Bob Gray is terrifically cast as a county sheriff and friend of the lead. Peppered with some very funny moments, and effective suspense, Bigfoot is very much worth the watch.
