I’m enjoying a long weekend due to the Thanksgiving holiday and movies are on the agenda. I just finished watching Big Legend. Have you seen it yet?
I’m a big fan of Sasquatch. I love the big hairy guy and I had high hopes for this movie. It didn’t disappoint.
Kevin Makely gives a great performance as a damaged man out for revenge after something takes his fiancee while camping in the woods. When he returns a year later to find out what happened to her, it doesn’t take long for the answer to come calling. Todd A. Robinson plays a supporting role as Eli. He’s part comic relief and part the guy you’d want by your side in a fight. The cameo appearances of Adrienne Barbeau and Lance Henriksen were good too. As Tyler’s mother, I loved that she supported him and backed his play. I watched this with my son and it was right near the end that we realized Lance hadn’t made an appearance. We were talking about that and then there he was. Playing the mystery character we’d just been pondering. It wouldn’t be a good Sasquatch movie without him.
The ending was a bonus. Got me thinking of some audible books in the dark suburban horror category I’m listening to by Bill Schweigart. This movie felt very similar.
The scenery was gorgeous. The acting was strong. And I didn’t really see any scenes that felt forced or lame. Plus, the creature was pretty terrifying. I liked what they came up with. Being always on the lookout for the next good creature feature, I was glad to find this one. If you’re a fan of this kind of movie, I’m thinking you’ll enjoy Big Legend. Not saying you’ll love it as much as I did, but you never know. I’m giving this a big thumbs up.

This is being added to my list! I love all things Sasquatch!
I really liked it. My son gave it 3.5 stars. I gave it 4 because it kept me glued. No leaving the room for a snack or anything. LOL
It hasn’t gotten good reviews overall, but I think you have to approach a movie sometimes with the attitude that it’s JUST A FUN MOVIE and not supposed to be a deep, philosophical film. Thanks for the review. I’m definitely up for seeing it!
It was scary good fun. The only thing I noticed is that the used the same footage for two different days. Nothing big, just a little something I noticed. And most people probably wouldn’t. I just always look for those things. LOL
Excellent review but now *pat on the couch* tell me all about that love of big hairy guys Laura …. LOL
Uh oh! Do I have to? It’s rather embarrassing. LOL
I saw this some time ago and it was a decent watch. I was disappointed Henrickson was in it more as I love him in horror movies – my fave being Pumpkinhead!
It was so funny that my son and I were just discussing him not being in the movie and thinking we knew who his character was and then there he was. I really liked the movie. Been too long since there’d been a bigfoot movie. And I love Pumpkinhead too.
Sounds like a good one. I love Squatch’s too.

I really liked it. About time there was another Sasquatch movie.
Sounds like a fun watch. I will have to check this one out. My hubby loves these kinds of movies. I will have to make it a date night flick. =)
