Been reading IMDb reviews for years, but this is the First review I've done. No spoilers here, just an opinion. I saw a number of reviews giving praise to this movie, so thought I'd give it a go. Not nearly as good as I thought it would be, or even could be. But it really wasn't a trainwreck either. Not sorry I watched it, I mean The first half hour or so actually had my stomach kinda knotting up with tension, but then...... Interesting take on Bigfoot, but it kinda fell flat, for me anyway.It was done well, but it just seems to have missed the mark of reaching what could have been a very good film. Acting was definitely not A-list grade, pacing was okay,atmosphere was there, tension and fear were absolutely there for the first half-hour. All in all, not a bad trip to take on a Saturday night.

Predictable And Really Could Have Been Much Better
wandernn1-81-6832749 January 2021
So this one starts out at some party and some nerd filming his first time sexual encounter gets killed while filming. That was stupid because the girl had to have heard him screaming while he was in the bathroom and didnt even bother to come out.
-1 Star for the opening sequence.... for duh factor
Skip to one year later. And some other nerd is in an interview room giving a rundown of ......what exactly??? Ahh he's giving a recap of the party that happened that fateful night. Or is he talking about the trip him and his buddy took to Canada? I'm not sure.
Hey buddy let's kick it at Freddy Kruger's raping shack. - Good line. +1 Star
-1 Star for the driving fail and silly ambush by critters scene in the car, for duh factor
The rest of the movie is Travis retelling his story to a Cop who doesn't believe him. Is he telling the truth about the SIGHTING of Sasquatch like creatures? Or did he concoct a story to cover murders he committed?? Anyways, that part of the movie is alright. +1 Star for that stuff.
The end...figureatively predictable. And we'll just end with a 5/10.

Strictly for Sasquatch Movie Fanatics

I think I may have seen most of the Sasquatch/Bigfoot horrors ever made- I've even ordered the most obscure titles in search of more. They are almost uniformly terrible, but I don't regret watching a single one of them. I place "Travis (aka The Sighting)" in the middle of the pack in terms of a specialized "Sasquatch rating system." It's nowhere near as good as Willow Creek, Exists, or any Sasquatch film starring the great Lance Henriksen (and there are several). But it's much, much better than the lower end of the Sasquatch spectrum. The first half of "Travis" is appealing, largely because of the good acting by Nathaniel Peterson, who plays the protagonist's best friend and road trip buddy. I enjoyed this film quite a bit up until the first sighting- the special effects are poor, but that's to be expected in a low budget outing. The second half of the film suffers from poor acting in the "scientist scenes," although a novel and interesting theory of the Sasquatch is offered. Sasquatch maniacs may enjoy this film- I did- but I doubt anyone else would.
Total Waste of Time
MR-Katt18 May 2016
I did the big mistake and rented this movie after reading some reviews describing this movie as one of the best horror/thriller ever made well it was one of the best trash/waste of time movies that was ever made this movie suffer from a lot like the bad acting / cheesy dialogues i don't even know why it was listed as horror/thriller , if they mean the one shot where some guys dressing as gorillas standing in shadows well it won't scare even my little kitty ,and what about thrill ??? if they mean the plot ? we already saw tens of movies with similar plot nothing new here , no thrill at all . why this movie has high rating , why there is many good reviews about it? i don't know , but i know one thing that this movie was a complete waste of time , avoid it at all costs . Awful .
The Sighting of very little.

OK so straight off the film was originally called Travis because the main character is called Travis. That gives you some insight as to the thinking level of the writer.
Movie starts with hand held camera so I'm thinking found footage but I was wrong and that's just to set the scene.
So short intro bit with added gratuitous boob shot and 15 minutes later the opening credits. Like what the hell?? This film is in no way good enough for many people to even make it to the opening credits.
On to the main points. Kid is telling story in flash back mode of how he went to a party and all these kids vanished but he left before that happened. A Year later and he's on a road trip with his best friend to Canada. Stop at creepy gas station because all gas stations are creepy and get served by low budget guy that's trying his best to be Robert Englund and failing badly. The fact that Robert Englund himself makes very low budget films and wasn't in this should again serve as a sign of how bad this is.
Creepy guy gives directions for short cut which they take even though it's all signposted that the road is closed because stupid is as stupid does. In the interest of saving time I shall fire through a few facts to keep this a bit shorter.
A group of big foot attack kids in car. One goes missing the other goes back to gas station and listens to long story from creepy guy. Goes back into woods with first guys brother. Big foot attacks happen again. Brother is killed. Flash forward and guy is back to telling his story. Good cop bad cop situation ensues and bad cop says it's all in the guys head and that he was the killer and he probably killed the seven kids from the party at the beginning of the film. Here we have our second shot of boobs because even the boobs appear in a cops idea as to what goes on. Guy isn't arrested though because you know evidence is a thing and there isn't any.
Movie ends with guy driving back to the woods again and doing the whole "I'm gonna prove I'm telling the truth" speech to a video camera and stands waiting to be attacked. A sound is heard and credits roll. This leaves the audience to decide if it was him or if the big foot are real. However at this stage I'm sure nobody cares and are all just happy that it's over and that they can move along.

The main guys face is annoying
pensacolacomputer13 April 2021
The main guy makes the weirdest, and annoying, expression with his face. And he does it ALL the time. You will see what I'm talking about if you are ever watching this. Which I wouldn't recommend doing because the movie is pretty bad.
I do not recommend
oliviabeth785 October 2016
I didn't even make it five minutes into the movie. I should have read the reviews before renting it. If you are the type of person who does not like the home movie effect, or found footage style movie, then this movie is a waist of your time. It really isn't even a class B movie. It is more like a class fail, that is why there was only one copy for rent at Family Video. It looks like 5th graders put it together. If 5th graders had actually directed and edited this movie, I could have given it 4 stars for effort. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. If you try watching, "The Sighting" don't hope for much. This movie was a desperate attempt that failed.
"B"igfoot
s327616928 August 2016
Alright, so yes this is another "B" grade horror flick. Yes the scripting could have been better, yes there's over acting, yes it might look a little like someone rubbed onion juice in the lead actors eyes. And yes, the monsters do look somewhat like extras dressed up in beige off cuts, from the local carpet factory.
That said, if you can put these perceived shortcomings aside, this is not a bad little "B"igfoot horror flick. The acting from the lead actor, if you can put the teary eyed thing aside, is actually pretty good. He hands in an above average performance, as in fact, do most of the cast. The scripting is patchy but there's enough creativity on offer here, to make this flick quite watchable. Some of the jokes are pretty darn good too.
Where this film really shines though, is it does manage to pull off some reasonable scares. Its not terrifying but in the opening and closing scenes its actually does give you goose bumps and raise a few hairs on the back of the neck. There's a couple of good jump scares on offer too.
So once again little B-movie-ville manages to do better than its Hollyweed, oops I mean Hollywood, counterparts. Well done guys. I hope you make a sequel! Seven out of ten from me.

Only reason I gave it a 2 instead of a 1
corytracy21 December 2017
I'll start by saying the only reason I rated it a 2 instead of a 1 is because anytime I see a movie made without any kind of budget I will never rate it a 1 because they are trying regardless. I reserve my 1 ratings for movies that have a big budget and are backed by a studio. Something like the Blair witch project. I don't understand how people like that movie. It is so boring.. but onto this movie. How anyone would ever and I mean EVER give this movie a high rating or say how scared they were are either the dumbest people or people that can't go outside of their room without crapping themselves because their footstep was too loud. The only other reason would be because they are either involved with the film or know someone that was. Just trust me if you enjoy watching movies or even just staring at absolutely nothing, you'd be a million times better off staring at a blank screen for a couple days than trying to get through this movie. You could even hate staring at nothing and still be better off doing so. Ughhhhh I wish I never watched this pile of garbage and I hope that my review can save someone from doing the same.
Hidden gem
D-Day7710 January 2019
I saw this originally at a festival in 2008 and had been searching for years, I'm so thrilled to have found it on amazon prime albeit under a different title. The Paper Dolls that I remembered was still just as good under the title Black Forest, a refreshing take on the theory of Sasquatch with some really well developed plot twists and red herrings. For a low budget film this should worry Hollywood, thouroghly enjoyed this and highly recommend.

Post graduation Nate (Nathaniel Peterson) and Travis (Adam Pitman) decide to drive up to party in Canada because the lone hot tub in Columbia Falls, Montana can only hold so many people. At a grocery store they get alternate directions, i.e. a shortcut to Canada which they follow. Then BAM! We get the DVD cover and one missing teen, and another injured shortly followed by a unique Sasquatch explanation, kudos on the BS, I really liked it.
The film starts out like it was going to be found footage and then smartly shifts. The characters were not written to be colorful and Adam Pitman was not an exciting victim to watch. Makes for a good Utz potato chip product placement. Kent Harper came across well in his role.
Guide: F-word. Nudity (Jasmine John)

Not to bad
graham6208 June 2016
No spoilers you will have to judge it for your self. I have watched some terrible films in my time, some claiming to be fantastic and then turn out to be awful. Thankfully this is not one of them. Not a bad film but not great either. They could have done so much more with this. Acting was OK again not great. Suspense and tension in parts.good build up as I said they could have developed this film and made it great, Obviously they only had a small budget. Although I have watched films with a big budget that are far worse. Interestingly the film is written and directed by the main stars of the film so hats off to them.I would watch it again but would not go to the cinema just to see this. Well worth a watch if you have nothing else on. On the whole a good effort.
the ending was awful

Warning: Spoilers
well i thought this movie was excellent.and it was until some point the movie starts with a man recording a party. OK i passed that strange think and went on the following 1 hour the movie was excellent, not to creepy but also not to peaceful.there was action and creativity.i can tell i was something like excited because after much time i had found a movie which is worth seeing.and then the ending came...the last 15 minutes destroyed Literally all the movie.the movie ended with the boy dying full of desperation because after all the things he lived loosing 2 of his best friends. also the ending shows the policewoman going in the cave and the movie ending.at this point i think that everyone understood that the policewoman was caught buy the Sasquatch and obviously got killed.so in what does this ending lead to.the policeman and Travis father keep thinking that Travis is crazy and that he is the murderer and the policewoman dies into that deep cave unable to tell the policeman that the boy tells the truth and that the Sasquatch are real.also if the woman is dead the policeman will be unable to find the dead Sasquatch so again he will believe a story kinda "Travis killed the policeman and then he committed suicide".so the ending will be with the boy and the policewoman dead with Travis being a murderer in the eyes of this fool policeman.personally if i was the writer i would give an ending like "the boy does not commit suicide.the policewoman finds the Sasquatch and immediately takes him into the police station.the policemen identify his DNA so the boy is innocent and happy again.after that the police could go to the cave with many men and kill or put these things to cages so Canada finds his peace again.anyway this was a nice movie but the ending destroyed her.if it was happy ending i would give this movie 10 stars for sure
Best film of the millennium!
bboyflimsy12 May 2008
I'm not kidding when I say this is one of my favorite horror films to date, this film was just awesome. I am an old school horror film all the way. I hate just about any film that comes out anymore, they lack originality. If it's not a remake, it's a rip off. Finally though, something original has arrived. There is nothing like Paper Dolls, I can't compare it to any other film out there. I don't know how it's not in theaters, but do what you can to see it, you will not regret it. I have yet to see their other film, Roulette, but I would suggest seeing that as well if you can. The creators of Paper Dolls are very original and creative. Anything they make, their vision and creative shows.
Another not-scary horror movie
murdermanmat13 March 2018
The lead actor had the strangest look on his face throughout much of the movie
kinda like he smelt a bad fart or something, really really of-putting and somehow annoying at the same time. just couldnt get past it.
apart from the weird look, the movie itself just wasnt scary in the least
watch it just for the fart face

Warning: Spoilers
The Sighting is about Bigfoot attacks in the Montana woods. In this story, there is a tribe of Bigfoots rather than one. Two guys are trying to cross the border at night when they first see them. Some exposition is piped in and the attacks continue for several more scenes. The main character survives and the police suspect that he faked the attacks and killed the other people he was with. It seems like it's heading towards one of those endings where everything we were seeing was the delusions of the murderer, killing without realizing it. However, they give an open-ended finish in which the main character sets up a camera and waits by the woods. The idea is that he's so distraught that people don't believe him that he's willing to die to prove the creatures are real. That's actually a more clever ending than anyone would expect from everything that came before. It seemed like everything would be complete clichés and reused tropes. They actually go so far as to throw in a visual homage to the Psycho shower scene, replicating some the quick-cut shots. As far as the acting, I didn't think it was bad so much as strange. People spoke with such unusual timing and cadence that something just felt off. Overall, I would say this is one to skip. Not goofy enough to be enjoyed for its ineptitude, and no clear shots of the creatures, who look like dudes with strips of fur hanging off of them.
As dull as they come
Leofwine_draca25 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
BLACK FOREST sounds like a fun Bigfoot horror flick on the outside but on closer inspection it's a cheap-as-chips indie horror film with very little horror content and merely a few seconds of Bigfoot action. It's more like a small town drama with mystery elements as a witness to a crime becomes involved with various hostile townsfolk. There's little here aside from lots of wooden acting and it's as dull as they come.
Pretty Good Sasquatch Film
Rainey-Dawn11 September 2017
The film is a psychological thriller that will have you wondering but will be answered IF you watch and listen to the end credits... don't turn it off until the end credits are finished rolling for the final answer to what happened.
The film is has a question mark over it during viewing: Are there really Sasquatch or has Travis just lost his mind and murdered his friends? Not a bad film at all - I did enjoy watching it until the very end. If you like films about the Sasquatch then you might like this one. BTW, please don't upset the professor by calling it Bigfoot. lol ;) 7/10

TheLittleSongbird7 May 2018
Saw 'The Sighting' being fond of horror/thriller regardless of budget (even if not my favourite genre) and being intrigued somewhat by the idea. Despite there being a lot of bad Bigfoot/Sasquatch films, examples of the worst being from SyFy, it is always interesting to have a film involving them and there are the odd entertaining ones too.
'The Sighting' is yet another example of how not to do it and is an awful film on its own. There are definitely far worse Bigfoot/Sasquatch films, but that is hardly an endorsement and the film lives up to its taglines and not in a good way at all. Everything that makes the worst Bigfoot/Sasquatch films bad is present here, appreciate its attempts at bringing a more psychological element to the story but very little is done with it and certainly not in a way that is illuminating or interesting.
Adam Pitman fares the least badly. Not just in the otherwise terrible acting (Kent Harper is dull and histrionic and David Blair overdoes it to annoyance, much of it is badly over-acted) but he is also the best thing about the film.
It's a poor looking film, especially in the excessively nausea-inducing camera work that gives amateurishness a bad thing. The obvious, cheap and badly balanced sound editing really cheapens the mood. The titular creature is utilised poorly, with repetitive, tension-free and borderline cheesy attacks in far too infrequent and brief appearances, as well as the terribly goofy look. Nothing to fear here.
Dialogue is stilted and cheesy, with far too many misplaced jokes that misfire catastrophically, and the story is dull, predictable, dumb and devoid of any kind of sense or logic let alone tension or suspense.
Characters are both underdeveloped and annoying stereotypes, with stupid character behaviours. The actors struggle with little to do, the direction is pedestrian and it's all tension and fun free with nothing new or interesting to say. The ending is a non-event and the film even throws in gratuitous nudity at hardly appropriate times.
Overall, unbelievably awful and best left unseen. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I Like IT!!! Weird, Original, with Fresh Concepts
Dark_Lord_Mark21 February 2018
Not going to lie, I enjoyed this.
I actually liked the concept of 2 guys getting lost, and stumble upon something grave, and dangerous that is hidden.
It is handled VERY well imo. Nothing too terrible. It isn't a SCARY horror. It made me care about the main character(s) a lot, which was well done. There wasn't any real jump scares but the concepts were well done well .
Sure their is SOME bad acting, but it is a well made small budget movie that is never boring. Solid 8 1/2 out of 10 from me.

Ode to Canada's murderous Ewoks
CrunchyBug22 May 2016

Canada's a terrifying place. From poutine to ketchup flavored potato chips the country's a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Case in point, the basement-dwelling gas station attendants who lure unsuspecting road-trippers into taking quasi-legal border crossing routes in hopes of getting them accosted by..... Oh, wait. That guy was American. Whatever. Stay out of Canada, man.
Because Bigfoots.
Bigfeet?
Sasquatches. Sasquatchi? C'mon, you know what I mean! Canada kills.
Yes, this is a low budget movie. The acting is sub-par, the story requires a healthy dose of Suspension of Disbelief and/or plain ol' Just Roll With It, and the "special effects" consist of carpet suits and Karo syrup, but this one's got something special.
Admittedly, I was thoroughly irritated with the leading man right from the start. "To all that's holy in Canada, please let Bigfoot eat him first," I prayed. But he grows on ya. I suspect he may have Micheal Ironside Disease. It only works if he's a bad guy? In any case, just suck it up and pretend he's Rutger Hauer or something.
I'm not going to lie. The majority of this film is laughable. They spend 15 minutes before the credits roll setting up stuff that the rest of the film barely acknowledges. I mean, it tries. But it's like one of the writers' little brothers wanted to play, too, so their Big Bro said "You've got 15 minutes, go for it."
BUT (and that's a big but), don't let the low rating and terrible reviews scare you off. This film (and I still use the term lightly) has the potential to grow beyond itself. I'm legitimately shocked that nobody's referenced the wonderful Psycho shower scene homage. Not to mention the clever, split-screen 911 scene -- just to name a couple highlights. And of course the flip from creature feature to psychological thriller and back!
Yes. Absolutely. This is a terrible movie. You'll probably hate the main character and you'll probably wonder where everyone else went. That being said, though, grab a few beers, sit down with your B-Movie Crüe, and watch it. You won't be sorry.

Well, I watched this on Prime.
Flippin' awful haha.
So the story goes... some lads go into the woods and meet some shadows in the road which attack them. One gets kidnapped, the other gets away but goes back later with a friend. They have a civil war pistol and a pump action rifle which lights a room up red or blue when fired. Needless to say they find the 'sasquatch' and run away from them to a wooden shed... with lots of windows... Obviously our heroes stick together; one runs away while the other shoots aimlessly and dies probably. The police speak to the guy who ran off and some nonsense goes on.... Honestly, who cares? There some police theory which is based on nothing really
Oh and there's a guy who quit his job to go hunt sasquatch who goes a bit mad.
It does have a gruesome scene where a guy gets his tongue ripped out. not cut out, pulled out like is was a post-it note stuck to an apple.
Genuine garbage, mildly amusing, but garbage all the same

Solid talent taking its first steps
jonna-m-bell22 February 2008
This is one of those movies that finds you curled against the back of your sofa, alternately peaking through your fingers and pointing at the screen.
For their first major foray, the BadFritters have proved there's much more to their work than just hopes and dreams. Paper Dolls reflects a subtle, strong talent that's solidifying in the BadFritter team. (See previous film Roulette.)
Combining acting, scriptwriting, directing and producing, (yes, if you read the credits, they did them all) the team balances and merges with impressive savvy and subtlety. With Paper Dolls they created a horror film that takes us back to the days when horror films were... just that... but also brought a refreshing depth to the familiar, making us scream our pants off with glee while wondering if it isn't just all in our head.
