They played this at Riverfront Park the other night. It was really cool to see familiar places and even some people and to know it was made locally. The movie looked great and moved along nicely. The acting was pretty good for the most part but the dialogue and the rich kid subplot wasn't the best, easily the weakest part. Strongest part was the music which, along with the professional look and solid actors, helped to make up for the cringe dialogue and pointless subplot. Very cool this was made in our backyard!
I really liked this one! The Bigfoot as a sick girl's dying wish was a neat twist, the two lead actresses did a great job, it looks slick with a distinctive visual style and the music really adds to the overall film. A few criticisms would be some of the supporting actors seemed like they were just randomly pulled off of the street and the Derrick subplot gets a little ridiculous, even for a Bigfoot movie, but all-in-all it's easy to see that this indie was guided by a competent director with a passion to bring the most out of the story while keeping the pace even and shortcomings well balanced and in check.This film should do well in festivals and have no problem landing on streaming, so give it a watch if you get the chance - it's well worth your time!
I got the chance to check this out this weekend and thought that the actors all did a great job and that the movie looked and felt like a real movie, but the story was a mess. Without going into spoilers, there are characters and subplots that don't do anything other than take away from the main story of the little sick girl and the woman working to grant her wish. It looks professional with good performances, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense.
This is well made with some really good acting that makes Armstrong county look really good, but the story takes a left turn for no reason for like the entire middle of the movie for no reason and brings in an Arnold Schwarzenegger wannabe trying to be a tough Russian wrestler for some reason.Definitely check it out as it's pretty professional all-in-all, it's just too bad the story gets in the way of itself.
