I don't usually leave reviews, but I'm just so upset with myself for watching this until the very end. There was obviously no script since the main characters stumbled over what they were going to say throughout the entire movie. No real story and no action at all. Simply guys stumbling through a forest and long (and I mean long) shots of plants, trees, a stick being thrown, bones, etc. There was one shot of the poor old guy on his hands and knees crawling across the forest floor from one side of the screen to the other. Holy crap, he crawled so slow! I was praying at that point the sasquatch would take him and this shlock would come to an end. Beware...the only "beastly incident" that will happen concerning this movie is you pushing play.

More enjoyable than Exorcist Believer

I think I used up my positive in the heading, but to be honest I've seen worse. Was there a script? I do love the looks to camera and the fumbling of lines, but as I say I've seen worse and it's a fine effort given that the chocolate bar was probably the most money spent on the production.
I'd say this was try indie film making and a vanity project - either that or they had some video left over from a recent 21st birthday party and didn't want to waste it. There's some decent wilderness scenes (mostly stock footage I'd imagine) in the movie and as someone has already mentioned you'll see several seasons in the space of an hour, but don't let this review or the production values put you off giving this movie a try. I'd much rather watch a low grade indie movie than a big budget pile of crap, of which there are many.

Master Hughes has done it again...

Warning: Spoilers
... and it ain't good, not by a long shot.
How does this utter incompetent keep getting the funding to churn out these complete crapfests? Does he have photographs or video footage of studio executives in compromising situations with a variety of barnyard livestock? If he does, he would do better to cobble those photos and that footage into some semblence of a movie. Virtually anything... and I mean ANYTHING... would be better than the Sasquatch/Bigfoot "films" that he somehow keeps churning out. His "fictionalized accounts" of supposedly "true events" lack completely on every conceivable level. His documentary style movies detailing his personal search for the legendary cryptid includes things like:
Branches.
Leaves.
Bushes.
Trees.
Squirrels.
Opossums.
Rabbits.
Raccoons
Animal droppings.
You see, all of these things are inarguable, incontrovertible proof that Bigfoot exists, at least in the festering mind of Master Hughed. You will see everything in a Master Hughes film about Bigfoot except for even the most remote sign or evidence of Sasquatch itself.

Worst film ever?

Even I can tell it's filmed with an iPhone... the quality of it is quite poor. I thought this movie would be intense for my taste with special effects but all this was just a low budget film with low budget crew. Well the only thing I can say is that I did enjoyed it just a tiny fraction at least when there was something based on true events, however the Sasquatch or whatever that thing is needs to be better, it doesn't look that scary at all and all I did was just laugh. I wouldn't waste my time watching this film unless you have nothing else around that you can watch but it is what it is. Music is not bad though, I dig it!
really great movie i love bigfoot stuff.

This movie is actually based on a true event in arkansas, as i watched i felt like i was with Master Hughes and i loved hearing the legend side where bigfoot is said to roam in arkansas, i also like the fact that he kept this movie to the facts of what actually happened, and reported it that way without trying to make it scarier , cause it was scary enough, this happened in arkansas, and having been in arkansas i know its rugged, ignore the fake comments that someone left ,this is a great movies i watched it on Tubi.
Master Hughes this movie was awesome very well done, beautiful scenery . I stayed glued to the TV throughout the whole movie. It kelp me interested I keep waiting for the Quachita Beast to walk out on you at any time. It very intense at campsite. Who ever did the filming did an amazing job also. When you were running and the beast hit you I thought it had for ya for good . This was an awesome movie just like all the other movies you have done. We maybe witnessing the birth of a new genre. The clever interplay of the occasional big foot growl offers a juxtaposition of the relaxed with the abject terror of the prowling beast glimpsed, as though a man in a ghillie suit. The cinematography left me speechless, the effects were really neat , giving the film a home made feel. I watched this film unable to move transfixed by its unfolding drama, awaiting the thrilling finish. In a word 'amazing'. Great that we have seen a wider release of this emerging classic. Thank you for that, whoever thought of it. Thank you indeed.

Where has this movie been all my life?!
Tacosnevercheat20 February 2024
I was spellbound. From the opening title with the word "OUACHITA" misspelled, to the video clips of the Arkansas mountains complete with colorado mountain footage with snowcapped rockies and aspens. The riveting 4 hour hike including shots of summer foliage, fall foliage and winter barren forest had us on the edge of our seats wondering how long did this hike really take?! The detailed coverage of the star unpacking and the repacking his gear made this a Must See event. The repeated trek of the exact same trail footage 19 times was something I will never forget. The captivating footage of his feet walking on leaves over and over and over was something we will talk about for weeks. The sound clips from loud flies to dead silence, transitioning to loud bird calls, then to deafening music made us beg for more. This story was not told for 30 years? How could anyone keep this a secret?! $12,000 budget would have been impossible. That mound of dirt that showed itself often throughout filming had to have increased the budget costs substantially, as well as the housecat that randomly appeared in the 4 hour remote mountain hike. In all seriousness I am holding my breath for the sequel. I watched this twice.
Spellbinding...

Few films if any, deliver this level of relaxation. Watching elderly gentlemen hiking through through wilderness, rarely speaking with over dubbed bird song is simply a cinematic revelation. It has helped me reframe my expectations of movie excellence. We maybe witnessing the birth of a new genre. The clever interplay of the occasional big foot growl offers a juxtaposition of the relaxed with the abject terror of the prowling beast glimpsed, as though a man in a ghillie suit. The cinematography left me speechless, filmed using a late 80s handycam to great effect, giving the film a homemade feel. I watched this film unable to move transfixed by its unfolding drama, awaiting the thrilling finish. In a word 'amazing'. Great that we have seen a wider release of this emerging classic. Thank you for that, whoever thought of it. Thank you indeed.
