Started off as a decent camera crew searching for Bigfoot movie and I really did care about everyone and hated to see them die off one by one. Then it switches over into a Texas Chainsaw Massacre debacle and they lost me. That cabin torture scene went on way too long. And the little blip at the end didn't redeem anything.

I'm not expecting much from B-and C grade horror and was looking forward to seeing Ben Browder. I actually thought the outdoor pans and shots were quite beautiful and I though some of that might rub off on the rest of the film. I'm really not a fan of outdoor or Big Foot horror but the two could mesh well. However the change to torture horror (I'm not a fan of it) and escape from that genre/threat horror was a jarring thematic shift that really did not need to be done and added little to the film because one of the killers was revealed minutes earlier. It just made the film wacky D class and shoddy as the mix of used technologies, motives, and introduced questions just added uninteresting weigh to a movie near it's end. I'm so sure people thought this would be interesting different and make the film unique and it did confuse me but it made a hardly tolerable film (it got more difficult to watch as it because more unbelievable) just nonsensical. In short, the pre-ending was all over the place and really detracted from the film. And I'm not convinced that some and not all humans were threatening to the creatures as they seemed to target two groups who came to visit. I'd figure any human could attach more and thus any human was a threat so the residents would have gotten the business also. And the full monster reveal at the end was just a pitiful case of bad effects, better to have left a reveal of a hand or fist with such a poor looking creature. I really cannot recommend this movie, even for fun or for Ben Browder fans. The last 15 minutes cheapens and confuses the film's intent.

Seriously, the only "Hoax" involved with this production is calling it a film, THAT is a "Hoax". I really can't believe I sat through this crap lol I kept thinking to myself, "It CAN'T get any worse can it"....then at the end with the cannibal family I was proven wrong lol. It's not even a good bigfoot tribute, it's pure garbage. DO NOT waste your time with this.

Watched this tonight. This movie was a slow burner until right near the end when it went all Texas Chainsaw Massacre meets The Hills have Eyes. If you like people getting tortured then this one is for you. Seriously, this movie took a turn for the worse.

Stupid terrible ending - watch movies to be entertained not depressed

My spontaneous "this just came out, I'll watch it right away" horror flick. "Hoax" is my 971st horror movie & it turned out to be a rather flat & very generic endeavour. One single sort-of-a-spoiler ahead.

Now, what compliments can I give the filmmakers behind this pointless exercise in the Bigfoot horror genre? Technically, cinematography and sound editing is at least on the average level - it's pretty decent for a B movie. Some of the locations are very scenic and nature gives us better effects than the actual FX team. The acting is, for the most part, okay-ish, with some bad dialogue scenes that could make you cringe. What else? I mean, I guess props for the twist near the end, where they went all Wrong Turn / TCM, but, sadly, it was already too late to improve the bigger picture.

If there's not too many compliments, there sure are a lot of complaints. Honestly, the most disappointing part is the lack of any half-decent action sequences. They're bland, with zero detail, most of the good stuff happens off-screen and, well, the budget restraints can be felt to a painful level. There are maybe three little scenes in which you can see and appreciate some low-budget special effects effort. The pacing is slow oh so slow, most of the movie is talking & it doesn't have much substance. At least the variety of characters was diverse enough, as much as it could've been in a movie like this. Soundtrack, original score? Flat and repeatative. The climax is mehh, because you're already tired from the build-up. It is what it is.

There are at least 10 better Bigfoot-centered horror movies out there, therefore I do not recommend watching this neither to old or new fans of horror movies. Watch it if you're a sucker for Bigfoot flicks & have seen all the rest of 'em. My rating: 3/10.

It just never went anywhere and kept going in circles and can't believe I watched the whole thing and have no idea what it was really about but a lot of blood and gore

A group of college kids goes into the woods to have sex and get eaten by Bigfoot. One goes missing. There is some self-made drone footage. It is known as the Mountaineer Massacre. Failed reality producer Rick Paxton (Ben Browder) wants to shoot a film there about Bigfoot. He rounds up a crew except for Adrienne Barbeau who doesn't want to go back into that swamp again. Did I miss anything else clever?

The goes along well and then OMG why did they ruin it? Did I spend all my time watching this film for this?

Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Lauren Ashlyn O'Brien).

This was a good movie. Cinematography was amazing. And I mean REALLY amazing! The acting was all good. Ben Browder was excellent. There is a twist that was given away if you are paying attention. SPOILER EXAMPLE: when one person gets killed you can tell it was not Bigfoot. So that falls on either the director or editor. I would like to have been surprised by the twist.

Rented this on Amazon. Then re-watched it with visitors. They all said it was good to alright. Nobody disliked it. Also only one person (out of ten) did not see the twist coming). In a way that was the biggest flaw.

Also, this movie did not seem to be a straight horror flick. It seemed to spoof on horror flicks, and that part was pretty great.

I actually liked it at first .... it was fairly entertaining until the end when it turned into a bad imitation of Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
