From graphics to plot is horrific. The only thing that bears any salvage is that I laugh a lot at bad movies. Bad plot. Bad graphics. I feel like this movie was made to receive a one star criticism intentionally. On par with Neil Breene and Tommy Wiseo, I recommend only watch if you really want to laugh at garbage.

Moving injuries, bad makeup, odd substories meant to knit the plot together, open questions on what was really going on. Terrible costuming. A trap that wouldn't hold a child much less a bigfoot. A Bigfoot could fart and blow that trap away, I could fart and blow that trap away.

I have no idea what I really just watched. But it did make me laugh, so I stuck it out.

This was not what I expected. Instead of a psycho horror/creature feature, it's more of an examination of a journalist's motives and a man's (Red) need to make a living. What people believe and whether to profit from their beliefs, no matter how crazy, leads to one bad decision after another, until three people are dead.

At the end, you are left wondering whether there ever was a. Bigfoot or was it all a hoax? Did Red really believe or is it a case of convincing yourself if you believe in something hard enough, it will come true.

Don't ignore this as a low budget creature movie and look beyond to the examination of hope, journalism and profitting off someone's beliefs. To paraphrase Red, you can't see God but believe in Him, so why can't Bigfoot exist?

More of a crime film, than it is a horror.

The Bigfoot Trap tells the story of a tabloid social media journalist, who heads out to rural America, to interview a man that has set out to trap the world's first sasquatch.

Unfortunately, the man has done a little investigating of his own...and knows his reputation.

So, he and his best friend plan to scare the (ugly version of a) Ryan Gosling lookalike, into thinking the creature is actually real.

However, things go south...when he ends up shooting his best friend, out of fear.

Killing him.

Which leads the man to confine the journalist in the bigfoot trap, as punishment.

With one thing leading to another...and things getting progressively worse as the film plods on.

The whole thing is super low budget.

But, honestly, it's an effective little crime film.

Which probably explains why Showtime ended up distributing it.

It's super simple.

But has a bit of cult vibe to it.

Further proof that even the worst bigfoot themed films can be entertaining.

4 out of 10.
