Bigfoot At Holler Creek Canyon (2006)

Directed by John Poague, this might as well be called, 'Bigfoot and the nude women', this is nothing short of diabolical, not exactly a soft porn romp but there's sex all over the place, moreso in the dialogue! Very annoying when such monsters are continuously relegated to such b-grade trash. Strangely however, some of the effects, when Bigfoot starts to go on the kill, are not too bad but it will leave you wondering just why this film was billed as a horror, hey, it even stars porn 'legend' Ron Jeremy. Don't give up the day job...

1/5

Bigfoot (1987)

Yep, it's another of those 'kids meet Bigfoot...adults harass Bigfoot....shed a few tears...nice happy ending' type of films. Given a sprinkling of Disney dust this film still doesn't rise above mediocrity. Sure, there are some more engaging moments as Disney not always portrays the beast-man as lovable and cuddly, but for me there's too much predictability even if this made for TV drama tries so hard to be a break from the norm. Better than most of the b-movie tragedies though!

2.5/5

Bigfoot (1970)

More sexy women are kidnapped by an angry Bigfoot, but hopefully the flailing females will be rescued by their biker pals...let's hope not.

1/5

Bigfoot - The Unforgettable Encounter (1994)

This should've been called 'The Unforgettable Film', it's just another of those cheap backwoods romps where an annoying teenager befriends a Bigfoot, the couple going through the trials and tribulations of man-meets-Sasquatch, proof once again that Bigfoot movies are nearly all the same with the exception of just a handful. Let's face it, there's only really two Bigfoot stories that the American film industry has to tell...one is this kinda movie, the other is where a man-beast rips everyone to shreds. that's all they've got...

1/5

Big And Hairy (1998)

Don't worry kids, this isn't what you think, but then again that's probably a shame, because this is a straight to dvd comedy that will have you reaching for the sick bucket as basketball flop Picasso befriends a Bigfoot who just happens to be a basketball genius...need I go on ?

1/5

the Beautis & The Beast (1974)

Breasts, Bigfoot and sex...what more can a man want! This is a case of what Bigfoot might be doing when he's out and about...'The Beauties..' turns our favourite Sasquatch into a bit of a peeping tom as he stares on various nude girls at their summer camp and decides to invade their privacy. I don't think this movie was up for an Oscar....!

1/5

The Beast Of Hollow Mountain (1956)

A Mexican rancher discovers a living dinosaur in the local swamp, which of course, then decides to go on the rampge. Not as appalling as one might think although the climax in the boggy swamp leaves a lot to be desired as our rubbery horror attempts to feast on a young boy. the effects aren't too bad for its time, just a shame the poor dinosaur perishes at the end...I dunno, there's always someone out there brave enough to take on these marauding leviathans!

2.5/5

The Beast Of Bray Road (2005)

Aaahh, tragedy strikes as once again as another alleged real monster of cryptozoological folklore gets bad treatment in the wake of this poor US low-budget pile of garbage. This movie may have been based on the encounters around parts of Wisconsin's woodlands, but on this occasion, the creature which is said to be part human and part animal leaves a little to the imagination as it rips its way through the neighbourhood, making the movie just another monster stalk 'n' slash flick for teenagers. Whatever happened to the engaging crypto-based movies that relied on atmosphere and slow build up, and more importantly, stuck to the facts ? Extinct.
Bad acting, a hilarious monster and so many characters you just want to see ripped up...

1/5

Beast From Haunted Cave (1959)

I love the cover of this, depicting a devil-eyed rubber horror grasping as some busty maiden whilst in the distance twon folk attempt to destroy the menace. Here, a gangster, his two mob companions and his girlfriend have gold on their minds...but instead end up in a cave inhabited by a giant spider which pretty much has all the busty girls and local thieves on its mind...

Great b-movie fun that you'll probably watch once and then discard...

2/5

Bad Moon (1996)

This horror movie slipped by the way side but has been considered by some as a forgotten gem. I'm sitting on the fence with regards to its merits but can see why it's enjoyed, although it must be said that the werewolf genre within the horror film word, has been much neglected and often falls short when such movies are made.
An expedition team trudging through Nepal are attacked by a ferocious creature which turns the main character, a guy named Ted, into a werewolf. Much of this film however is absed around a dog named Thor, not exactly complicated stuff but I won't go into detail here. Personally, I think the acting is pretty bad, in fact, much of the film is bad, which to me doesn't make 'Bad Moon' a gem at all...

1.5/5

At The Earth's Core (1976)

I was always pretty hung up on these kind of films as a kid, even if the intrepid explorers often uncovered lizards which were made out to look monstrous! Still, this is still a great adventure story produced in Britain by Amicus who made the occasional atmospheric spooker.
A Victorian scientist, played by Peter Cushing and a big money-maker companion, played by Doug McClure, decide to test out a new drilling machine in the Welsh mountains only to disturb an untrodden world of flying reptiles and the likes.
Sure the film takes on the same premise as so many others, and let's face it, the basic plot of 'man meets monster' has been done time and time again, but this little movie isn't the worse you'll see, even if it ends up as a dire love story.

3/5

Ataca El Chupacabras (1996)

Directed by Julio Aldama, not that it makes any difference...this is another of those films easily forgotten, leaving you to wonder why some decent director out there in film land doesn't make a movie about the Puerto Rican 'goatsucker' instead of all these horrifying low-budget attempts.

The local monster attacks a town drunk who in turn finds himself transforming into a vampire...how thrilling.

1/5

Ape Canyon (2003)

A weird little movie this, with the sub-heading of 'The Story Of Bigfoot: North America's Greatest Lover"! So, expect a comedy with this one and not an intellectual cryptozoological romp. Put simply, when a woman is attacked and almost raped by a hairy man-beast....she only goes and falls in love with it!! It's all very crass trash scraping the barrel to say the least...

1/5

Among Us (2008)

Rather predictable low budget horror in which a bunch of terrible film-makers go in search of Bigfoot in the dark woods of Pennsylvania. Of course, they do bump into the hairy behemoth and find it's rather more aggressive than they anticipated.

1/5

The Adventures Of Superman (1953)

George Reeves stars as the caped crusader from Episode 23 of season 1. Originally aired on February 20th the episode concerns the possibility that a werewolf is on the rampage after strange prints are found at a deserted lumber camp.

2/5

The Abominable Snow Rabbit (1961)

A rather obscure eight-minute Warner Bros. feature that probably won't be remembered...until now, and yet remains more elusive than the real Yeti! In this toon Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny set out to Palm Springs, but instead end up way off course and end up lost in some frozen landscape where they encounter the man-beast who actually turns out to be a real snowman in the sense he ends up melting!

2/5

The Abominable Snowman (1957)

Classic stuff from the Hammer studio's which sways from the gothic horror path and instead sees Peter Cushing and company trek to the snow-laden Himalayas in search of the Yeti. This is one of the finest cryptozoological-related movies, with strong acting, and written by Nigel Kneale who penned so many spooky drama's and based this on his tv play entitled 'The Creature'.
This isn't your typical run of the mill monster movie and although we do finally get to see the hairy humanoids at the end, you won't be disappointed. Some very atmospheric moments indeed making this one of the best beast-men movies ever released.

4/5

The 13th Child (2003)

Considering the staying power of the Jersey Devil, the dragon-like critter said to have prowled New Jersey's vast Pine Barrens for more than a century, film-wise the legend had died a death on the screen. 'The 13th Child' is no exception, a straight to video (or should that be DVD!) horror that is low on budget, low on acting talent and remains forgettable and one to avoid.

1/5
