Also known in the 90s as Teenagers Battle the Thing.
Who knows, dude. Its the mood I'm in. That's why this sudden spring of Bigfoot movies. This one I had at least seen something from or about, because this insane mask I had seen before.
When this is the level of special effect for your Bigfoot creature, the rest of the movie ain't going to be outshining it to a significant degree. And boy, does this movie feel in a whole different ballpark of budget and capability than previously watched Bigfoot movies. Sure, 1970s Bigfoot was dark and poorly acted, but this is like comparing that to vacation footage.
It could be this was a Rifftrax and I may have watched that at one point, but the plot of this was not familiar. Plot wise, a teacher brings in an expert to talk to some students about ancient creatures, lore, and such. The students embark upon an expedition and find a sealed tomb type area with a seemingly dead ancient creature in it. The breaking of the seal brings it back to life, and it begins running amok and causing chaos.
This movie is certainly a lot more of the type of thing you would see on Rifftrax. Its really two bit in nature, with extremely unchoreographed and unpracticed scenes that play out with makeup like what's seen above. This is a fun trashy movie, its just SO bad dude, and I mean I love it, its just like WOW.
Apparently this was a movie made in 1963 which was expanded into this full length thing, which was released in 1975, and somehow also gets stamped with the years 1976 and 1978. Its like no year wants to claim it. But put it on late at night and enjoy the sleeze. 3 stars.
