UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Alasdair Orr Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

ofpsmith Curse of Bigfoot was made in 1975 but it was originally made in 1963 as a film called Teenagers Battle the Thing. As a result it feels discombobulated as the main story was filmed in 1963 but the parts made in 1975 are of just a classroom. Let me explain. In the 1963 Teenagers Battle the Thing was made. In 1975 the film was brought out and was incorporated in parts that were filmed in 1975. And that's what the movie feels like. It feels like two different films put together. Anyways the story is of a biology class who one day has a guest speaker named Roger Mason (who from the things he says probably is violating a restraining order by being in the school in the first place) (Bob Clymire) who tells the students about a story where he brought his students to a trip where they encountered Bigfoot. As I said before the narrative structure feels broken in some way but that's not the main point. The main point is that the movie is bad. Campy bad really. The design for Bigfoot looks like they wrapped the actor in paper Mache. There's not much to expect and not much to deliver. Pass.

Dwylbtzle User Comments: No talent, no direction, no rehearsing, no editing, no kidding (more) they forgot no story no action no plot NO GOOD! well, I've finally found it: the WORST movie ever made by far nothing else I've ever seen comes even remotely close this movie is obscenely shamelessly insanely BAD! The most hilarious thing about it is: twenty minutes OR MORE can go by where people are just climbing rocks or walking in lemon groves and the symphonic music sound-track rises and falls and rises to another climactic crescendo as if the most intense dramatic suspenseful action footage ever rendered is playing out on yer screen BUT IT ISN'T BELIEVE ME AS HOURS OF FOOTAGE OF BUSHES--OR PEOPLE WALKING... GO BY--THE SOUNDTRACK IS TRYING TO SAY "Suspense!--MIND WRENCHING, BUTT-CLENCHING Suspense!") :stupidest dialog stupidest ending ever I highly recommend it THIS you gotta see before you die (which event you will be longing for about five minutes in) yes--paper mache' granny wig monster costume with YES a ping pong ball with a hole in it as one of the eyes and as soon as the monster sees a human he HAS to kill you which he seems to accomplish by throwing his arms out to the side and falling on you truly truly truly bad movie, folks One of the funniest things (I thought): they find an engraved stone--about two by two feet flat on the ground they pry it up and there's a cave opening under it so they get a rope and go down and now it's a twenty by twenty foot opening no explanation whatsoever

rlewicke If you are a fan of drive-in movies, bad movies, camp, then then this movie is a MUST for your collection! This used to be shown on the Saturday Creature Features quite often and it must be seen to be believed. Plan 9 from Outer Space is Citizen Kane next to this film; it has it all: wooden acting, long long stretches of the "actors" walking through the forest (accompanied by a thrilling music score, as if something interesting is actually happening), a perfectly inane bigfoot costume, hilarious dialog. This was released in 1976 with new footage attached to an apparently older movie (mid 60's?)concerning some archaeological students disturbing an ancient desert tomb. They discover a mummy that comes to life as a bigfoot sort of creature! What is simply amazing is that they brought one of the actors from the older movie back to appear in the newer footage!! To this day my family jokes about having the urge for a bottle of pop!

Year2889 At some point in about 1962 a film was made which revolved around the misadventures of a group of high schoolers on a weekend field trip to Pahrump, Nevada searching for Indian artifacts. What they find is terror at the hands of an ancient mummy. Badly acted and shot poorly this film resembled a made-for-students travelogue. It moldered over the years as it sat unwatched and unappreciated in some vault somewhere. And then, like the Pahrump mummy it rose to terrorize us all again.It would appear that the director of the previous footage asked the main player from that film to appear in the new film as his old character being asked to tell modern (70s) kids about his experiences with "The Great Man-Beast of North America," which he reluctantly does. The older film is used in its entirety as a flashback vehicle to the supposed Bigfoot encounter. But, of course the creature isn't a Bigfoot at all, it's just an Indian mummy.This is a bizarre melange. Just for fun, check out the end of the film where all the students are standing around the bonfire, and note that they are all pretty much acting normally, then remember the words of Roger Mason, that, one of those students will have to spend the rest of her life in a mental institution!Long live paper mache monsters!!
