Bigfoot: The Conspiracy (2020)
Not your Average BF Flick
A word consistently comes to mind when I watch this movie: restraint. Don't get me wrong-- I really enjoy the story, I think the acting and editing are great. But I have seen enough monster flicks in which the filmmaker just can't resist overselling and gratuitously showing their creature, which usually turns out to be embarrassing and distracting. Chris is a meticulous and thoughtful filmmaker who used the creature as a setpiece for a story that goes far beyond a simple humans vs monster saga. I LOVE the message about respecting nature, and humans remembering their place in it. I thought Dante was a believable, humble character, and it was refreshing to have a leading man with a heavy past, who wasn't the trendy miserable anti-hero. And-- when you DO see the monster-- he's pretty rad. 😊 Highly recommend.
