Sooo let me get this straight, thoughts and SPOILERS


The Bigfoot are supposed to be protectors from the demonic creatures that travel thru the bright lights. Im guessing the reason why they thru stuff and tried to scare the people was so they would run away and not get killed by the demonic creatures. But than why didnt they help at the end? And how did Drybeck get the Bigfoot body? Was it even a Bigfoot body? I mean Drybeck would have been able to tell if it was one of those creatures so Im guessing it was a legit Bigfoot body. Im also guessing the film makers are trying to tell us that the reason that we never find any Bigfoot bodies is because the demonic creatures kill them and bring them back to their world? Any thoughts?

nailed it.. Bigfoot is known to be a shy reclusive creature.. The guardian of the forest.. This movie tries to stay as close to the real legend as possible. The other creatures are there for a horror element... Not Bigfoot

That appears to be the case. But I'm not quite figuring out the way things work between Demons, Humans, and Sasquatch. Bigfoot, being a mostly mortal creature, can be stopped by an electric fence, although they appear smart enough to easily disable it with a tree. Demons should not be bothered at all by electricity. And, of course, a nine-feet demon with goat legs could just step or jump over a four-foot fence. Plus, they too know about knocking down trees.

So, the fence ultimately proved useless against both types of critters. Yet, Drybeck apparently had been using it for years to hold them back.

In any case, why is this really the first serious case of Demon attack on humans? Demons can't be stopped with shotguns, electricity or Sasquatch. So why aren't there constant attacks on humanity in that area?

Maybe they were. Just before the girl got dragged away we saw a hairy half-body being dragged across the shot. Maybe the Demon just whacked a Sasquatch.

Nope, that was Robyn's lower part - we only get to see her top part falling into frame and the legs that's being dragged is wearing pants - so not a Sasquatch.

Because there's not any 'humanity' in the area other than occasional excursions by the guide and his bud. I thought the whole point of it was that the demons/spirits were breaking through worse than they had been.
