Sasquatch, the Legend of Bigfoot Audience Reviews

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Leofwine_draca SASQUATCH is one of many Bigfoot exploitation movies that were made to cash-in on a mini-trend in the 1970s. This one, like many of the others, features a group of hunters who decide to go and capture - or preferably shoot - themselves a real-life Sasquatch, thus proving its existence once and for all. This one was shot in Eugene, Oregon and has lots of great landscape shots as the characters find themselves knee-deep in a rugged and hostile landscape. It's mildly eerie to a degree, although there are one too many scenes of animal violence for my liking. As with a lot of these supposed documentaries, in order to spice things up a bit, a guy in a tatty suit shows up in the last reel to provide a few extra scares.
tinpot90 I can remember my brother and I getting up early on a Sunday morning every six month's or so for a few years just to catch this movie on t.v. on the Sunday morning cinema on WLBZ Bangor station way back in the late 70's and early 80's. I live in Canada and getting American t.v., (cable) as we like to call it, was a real treat. I remember watching it from beginning to end...even the credits at the end... it was that song "high in the mountains" that used to make me believe that a Bigfoot really exists. I lived near a lot of deep woods so right after the movie finished...off I'd go into the wilderness to try and find a Bigfoot..... but I started thinking about when the miners were in their cabin in the woods and how these "bigfeet" attacked them (especially when one of the miners looked out the window and came face to face with one) I would get super scared and run my butt off to get home. This movie is the best documentary in the entire world. After I ordered this movie online I watched it in the exact house I grew up in (my parents house) in the exact room and the television is in the exact part of the room as it was back then (different t.v. though)and I had the experience of real time travel... I had the biggest nostalgic moment ever. All I can say is .... as an adult who never saw this movie as a child you might not find it to be your "thing" as an adult...but to those of us saw it during childhood ...it is a priceless collection. It was shot almost Disney style and is very 70's "ish" quality. I like the fact that you can still see the grains in the film even though it is on DVD....that was the best part to me...seeing it exactly as you saw it as a child. I found this movie to be parallel to another movie I saw as a child around the same time "the legend of boggy creek" .... not the second boggy creek.... that was too goofy...but the first one was absolutely cool and yet another land mark on my childhood. I now own both movies and plan on showing my children in years to come so they can develop a love for the wilderness and it's mysteries like I did. Long live the mysteries of the wild.Rob Francis
booksearch I was about 7 when this DIRE MONSTROSITY of a film was released. In the UK it was advertised on the TV in the summer of 1977 for weeks, as if it were some incredible blockbuster film. It was actually the first film I ever saw at a cinema, and I was put off going for years to come. The following week I was invited to go and see the new film "Star Wars" and I declined. To this day I have never seen it, in protest at having to watch Sasquatch! Seriously, even at the age of 7 I could tell that I was watching garbage. It's just so bad, it's almost unbelievable. Rambling nonsense that should NEVER have made it to a cinema. I was however amused to read all these years later that the director never directed again, just as well as far as I'm concerned. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
Robert Vann Smith Although I first saw this movie in the theatre in 1977 when I was only 10 years old, I have not seen any other movies about Big Foot that have equalled or surpassed this one.I saw this movie several times in the late 70's and early 80's when they started airing it on television (this was before the VHS\Beta\DVD days) and to this day I still have yet to find it on video or DVD. I've been wanting to get a copy of this movie for years without any luck. I liked it enough that I thought it was worth adding to my video collection.Hopefully, one of these days, someone will be able to make a movie about the beast that was as good as this one, but until then, I'll have my memories.
