Originally supposed to be part of a twofer about Bigfoot, I ended up not having time for two, so I went with this one. It’s NOT related to the video game at all, unless they were planning a “Primal Rage-verse”, but prob not.
Anyway, a man and a woman get stranded in the wood and there’s a bigfoot hunting them. It sounds pretty straightforward, but there’s actually a lot more going on in this one than you would expect.
It’s low budget, and that’s obvious in some places, but they really did a lot and it’s surprisingly high quality. The lead actors are…adequate, but the supporting cast is pretty good, if a little cartoony at times.
The monster design I really liked, they’re not shy about showing it off, even if a lot of shots were closeup or out of focus. Creative shots to help hide the budget perhaps, but it still works.
Overall I was actually really surprised how much I liked it, especially the unexpected ending.
