Curse of Bigfoot - 1975

I'm a bigfoot afficianado. Does that mean I believe in bigfoot? No, not really. I don't believe that there has been a bigfoot creature in the time that modern humans (the last 150-200 years) have existed. But, I think it's clear and obvious that there could have, at one point, been something similar to bigfoot which would be the genesis of the modern story.

Curse of Bigfoot is a 1958 movie given a sprucing up and rereleased in 1975 with bigfoot attached. Originally, this film was just about a prehistoric humanoid monster being risen from the dead. Then the bigfoot thing happened and got into a spotlight after the infamous Patterson-Gimlin Film in 1967, and soon this swept in to capitalize. It's pretty clear this was not originally bigfoot in the movie, because it doesn't quite look like the bigfoot we imagine:

I mean, why does he have fangs? That aside, what I loved about this movie was just HOW 70's it was. This was super of it's time, in a fun fun fun fun fun way. The fuzziness, the acting, the look, the sideburns, the clothes, the low quality. They are all present and glorious and front and center in this schlock-o'clock. That's my new term I'm coining.

This film feels a bit padded out and overly long, but it is still fun and bigfoot is actually a mummy raised from the dead. So it's an undead bigfoot. Random. But yeah, it is a lot of fun and it all works and the pistons are firing, and you could potentially have a great time with it.
