No you're not. The script does that just fine. So you two can take a few bucks and a camera and head to the swamps and make a movie. That doesn't mean that anybody will come to see it or that nobody will walk out once the film has begun, and if I had gone to see this at whatever desperate theater decided to show it. With dingy photography and headache inducing sound, this hideous monster movie is impossible to enjoy.
If it wasn't for the presence of character actors Jack Elam and Dub Taylor, I'd certainly give this movie a big fat bomb. Two city folk from Chicago head to the swamps to try to find a bigfoot-like creature that has picnickers running away in fear and your ears cringing every time you hear it screech. Once these city folk begin to talk with the locals, it's obvious that they are trying to keep evidence of its existence under wraps, but for what reason since they obviously are afraid of it. I doubt anybody who appreciates modern film technology (or even 1950's movie technology) will be able to stick with it because it is less viewable than the most archaic of family home movies.
