Movie Review: Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie

Fascinating look at two Bigfooters down on their luck.

This short film (only 62 minutes long) is the story of not so much Bigfoot, but of two researchers, Dallas Gilbert and Wayne Burton of Portsmouth, Ohio, and their efforts to prove to the world that Bigfoot does exist through the means of photography. Dallas shows his collection of over 150 photographs that he has taken himself which hang on his wall in his den. We meet his wife Chris and their dogs, as well as Ron Lewis, a researcher from northern Ohio, who accompanies Dallas to Tennessee for a conference held by Mary Green. We next see Wayne in the Buckeye State continuing to research in Dallas' stead (Dallas receives two awards from Green's group, one for his achievements in research and the other for his late friend retired Sheriff Fred Bradshaw). The two lament their lack of successful prodding of the scientific community to view their evidence and also the fact that their homes are basically falling apart and need maintenance. Then they receive a visit from a certain California group and researcher (hint: HONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK OKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK) who stays about five days in the area and researches with the pair the first night but then decides to go it on their own after that. All in all, this is a really good documentary about two guys who are pursuing their passion despite the ridicule they have received from others. I give this film 4 out of 5 stars.
