Fear the Forest

Fear the Forest isn't the worst movie I have seen in awhile, but it wasn't the best either.  It is one of those movies, that after you see it, you say it was so/so.  As you might have guessed, it is a B-Movie with all of the attributes.  It has classic bad acting and poor special effects, but to add insult to injury, the monster in this flick, looks like something from Where the Wild Things Are or even worse, H.R. Puff N Stuff.  I have to admit, I was laughing out loud when they showed the monster, supposedly ripping people to shreds.  The monster looked ridiculous.

The story is about a monster like figure, that is supposed to be Big Foot, that occupies the mountains in up-state New York.  There have been many unsolved mysteries of deaths in the woods, which were blamed on Big Foot or some mysterious being.  The long and short of it, is that some 20 something's, decide to make a camping expedition in these very hills and slowly get knocked off 1 by 1.  The movie wasn't too bad, but it did drag in spots.  A little too long, if I must say.  Also, the gore factor was way too tame for me.  This was the unrated version too, so I expected more, but didn't get it.  It could have been PG-13, easy.  Other than that, it was a fun watch.

Bottom Line:  Even though the creature looked like a wild boar on steroids, this one still held my attention.  Although I was never startled, at least I got a good laugh.

-Ragman is still chuckling at the monster, in this one.  Gold, Jerry, Gold.....
