Produced and directed by James "Bubba" Cromer
This independent film/docudrama, which won top honors at The New York International Film Festival for best Narrative Feature, takes us to Indian Camp Mountain in Transylvania County, North Carolina, where D.J. Galloway, a former journalist with the Miami Herald (played by Cromer) is telling a story of his father, the local Sheriff, Big Jake Galloway (played by J. Lewis Cromer , James' father) and shows that a Sasquatch or Bigfoot has been killing local livestock and animals. A few local residents play themselves, and there are also actors from the area playing various roles. The acting is not the best in the world, but it is very interesting and entertaining. D.J. seems to be falling apart, getting drunk on a regular basis, depressed and in need of serious psychological help. A group of gentlemen who are either friends of D.J. or people who know him are seen on a patio talking about the situation, and one of them says he might put on his gorilla suit and start scaring people wearing it. Local news reports begin surfacing of more sightings and activity in the small community, and a flashback reveals how D.J. got involved with writing the story which pretty much killed his career as a journalist. The Sheriff discusses a possible killing by the Bigfoot, as well as an alleged sexual harassment by a Bigfoot on a local lady. D.J. interviews several witnesses of the creature, more killings occur, and it leads to...well, I won't give that away. That is Disc 1; Disc 2 is basically alternative views of different scenes in the movie, as well as a few unused scenes. I would give this about a 3 out of 5 stars, but about a 2 for acting, LOL
