Comments: The movie starts out with a violent attack. It gets you wanting to know more and wanting to know what attacked.
The countryside is beautiful.
A father, son and a couple hunting buddies are staying in a cabin in the woods. They are all going out hunting. There is some drama caused by one of the buddies and also some from the relationship between father and son.
The movie does drag on as they wait for the Sasquatch creatures to come. The scenes are so dark at night it is hard to see what is happening.
As the creatures start hunting the hunters there is still tensions between the people.
The glimpses you get of the Big Foot creatures does add mysteriousness to them. They do not appear really frightening. The thrills and scare factor picks up as the Big Foot attack. As the people are trapped the Big Foot have the cabin surrounded. The tension does start to build up.
You never do get a good clear view of the Big Foot creatures.
The ending well it just ends but is not really much of an ending.
The son delivers the best acting in the movie and he does have some dramatic moments.
