Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Dec 19, 2022
2.5/4
For a low-budget effort from two regional filmmakers and presumably aimed at the drive-in crowd, this is better than it has any right to be. Go to Full Review

Among Creature's motley perks is the 'Scope cinematography of Dean Cundey. Go to Full Review

nick s @Nick_S Aug 20, 2024 Low quality stuff. I don't think even slasher fans will get much satisfaction from this lackluster production. See more Daniel H @nihilhonestum Feb 1, 2024 Watching this on RCM app bundled in on Samsung TV. Looks like they've digitised and enhanced the film stock from the OG 76'er. Cool to see stuff from the 70s. Traditional horror narrative. See more William C @RT09316960 Oct 9, 2023 An attempt to cash in on the whole "Boggy Creek" craze from the 70's, this movie suffers from a poor script and the most ridiculous looking "creature" I have ever seen. Ugh. See more Mar 25, 2015 A movie that proves less is more. This is a really good bigfoot movie. Maybe the best. Sure there's a lot to complain about, but it has humor and some genuine scares. A scene that really stands out to me is the flashback scene where the family are having a picnic and they're attacked by the monster. Usually in movies like this you get a POV shot or it's filmed at night, but having the monster attack in a setting that seems safe makes the scene more scary. There's a lot of humor, too. It's good when movies like this don't take themselves too seriously. My only complaint is the ending leaves you wanting more. See more Feb 19, 2015 i love this movie. it is the best ever bigfoot film. i saw it at a drive-in during the summer of 1976 which was the perfect time and place to watch this film. i was fourteen years old at the time. this film has a great cast. it has great characters. it has suspense. it has humor. the outstanding cast includes jack elam, dub taylor and bill thurman. the camera work is by the legendary dean cundey (halloween, 1978). this is the perfect drive-in movie. this is the perfect big foot/skunk ape movie. See more Jul 29, 2013 A decent cheesy 70's Bigfoot movie. See more Read all reviews
