Seriously Sick People!

The Director/Filmaker chose some seriously mentally ill/dangerous characters to make this documentary about. He did his best to wind them up at every opportunity by asking stupid questions and irritating them. Going into the woods with a heavily armed psycho and proved hoaxer was asking for trouble; and he got it.
I felt no sympathy for the filmaker as he was neither making a documentary about bigfoot nor the characters 'hunting' it. It was more about the filmaker himself and how, if he shoved his lens or light into someone's face often enough, he would get an angry reaction!
Truly a waste of film and Morgan Matthews (the filmaker) should keep well away from making this sort of mockumentary in future (in fact, he should keep away from people, period!).

I thought it was hilarious. The 2 old drunks seemed like nice folks and I just looked them up and they had their own 4 part tv show, I'd love to see that. The other 2 guys though were foul-mouthed twisted nasty people. I say well done to the filmmaker for getting a reaction out of those 2, letting us see what they were really like. Couple of crooks.

Biscardi comes off like a real piece of work. The man blows up over the tiniest thing. Very bossy, very impatient, but keeps it all under the thinnest, most brittle 'Nice guy' routine I've ever seen.

At least Dyer doesn't pretend to be a nice guy, although he did pretend to have a Bigfoot.

The two older guys, yeah they are the nicest of the bunch, but it's not much of a competition. I looked them up and they're from a place called Portsmouth, Ohio which apparently has been particularly badly affected by the financial downturn and now has a big drug problem (prescription meds) and drinking. We this on the film with that woman laying drunk on the grass.

I would LOVE to see that phony Biscardi get knocked on his big fat arrogant ass. Dyer, too. I don't know if Bigfoot/Sasquatch exists or not, but giving guys like this any air time at all is lending them legitimacy that they don't deserve. Jeff Meldrum they ain't. As for the two hillbillies, well, that was just exploitative. Tough to see the humor in that. /jmo

I personally thought it was a GREAT comedy film. I laughed my azz off most of the way through it. The producer could not have done a better job in picking out "stars" who would automatically make it an enjoyable watch .... at least if you want some humor involving obviously weird people.

You have one true *beep* who is just simply an *beep* and nothing more. It was enjoyable watching him make an even bigger arse out of himself. It was also neat seeing him evidently think he was funny to himself, but being too stupid to realize that everyone else was laughing at him for ... well .... being so stupid sounding. Then you have another *beep* who is also a cowboy/cop/commando wannabe. It was enjoyable hearing him say he had no friends, yet not having the slightest idea of why that is, when it's so obvious to every other person in the world.

Then you have the two intellectually-challenged guys (although no insult intended, since they can't help how they were born), who never missed a minute making me laugh at being bilingual in Shamanese. They also seemed to enjoy using what little money they seemed to have for feeding canned fish to shadows & dark splotches of weeds.

So in the end, I give it about an 8.5 out of 10, for entertainment purposes. And the acting ability of the 4 main stars of the show get about a 7.5 out of 10. True, they could use a few acting lessons before they head off to Hollywood. But they did pretty well making me laugh at them, even though that probably wasn't their intention.

Please help me help my Mom, even if a simple "Share": ---- http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/a-caretaker-for-mom-/286714

I couldn't get past the thought of groups of BigFoot Hunters calling out and responding to each other, aka "making vocalisations", with each group gaining positive reinforcment from the encounter!

"Y'see Big Foot exists cos we hear him!"

Their winter months being spent in legal venues arguing about ownership of film of a human dressed up in a BigFoot suit!

p.s. "Joan.. get me a Snapple!!!"
