Oh great, Michael's (Miles Joris-Peyrafitte) mom has just died, and now
his broke and alcoholic dad Roger (Jason Vail) moves to a cabin in the
woods with him, and pretty much forces him to have a job instead of an
education. Now Roger, it has to be stressed, isn't a bad guy or anything,
he just lacks vision, which is why his life hasn't taken him anywhere,
ever, and he doesn't even see that he's doing the exact same thing to his
son. Uncle Will's (D'Angelo Midili) is coming by the first night in
their new home though, who has always been supportive of Michael ... but
so is Roger's best friend Sergio (David Saucedo), a premature bully who
thinks a man is worth only as much or little as the gun he shoots stuff
with ... and before Michael knows it, and despite his reservations, the
four of them are on a hunting trip ... when Sergio of all people gets
scared shitless by something, maybe a Sasquatch. Of course, nobody
believes him and everybody sees that as a good opportunity to make fun of
Sergio ... until one of the group is dragged off by a Sasquatch, and the
others make it back to the cabin only just - and a stand-off between them
ends in tears and blood. Enter a guy (Bill Oberst jr) who has been
kidnapped by the Sasquatch but actually escaped, which might be a great
guide as to where the missing member of the group might be held if he has
survived at all - but he might also have lured the Sasquatch to the cabin
... Valley of the Sasquatch is a pretty awesome little
monster movie: Sure, neither the gore effects nor the monster itself will
amaze you terribly much (though they are totally adequate not only for a
low budget feature), but it really understands to tell a story one might
think one has seen a hundred times in an original way. And that said, the
film begins in a very traditional way, even, it just gets more and more
interesting and more and more original the further it goes towards
reaching its core, ironically. And the ending sure as hell packs a
punch!!!
