More-
"Sasquatch Mountain" (found on Amazon Prime under the somewhat better title of "Devil on the Mountain") almost works. The film, finding a bank robbery gone wrong and its perpetrators on the wrong side of the law and and a huge, hairy behemoth, packs a pulpy story that blends drama and horror and a production that does its best with its obviously limited resources. It is all very earnest, and a surprisingly solid cast begins to make things watchable. That watchability crumbles when the titular creature shows up, however, its hair-covered design and artifice-steeped presence at-large poking holes in the tension the work tries to establish. That poor and poorly executed creature sets the work as sub-mediocre experience.

Daily Horror Hunt #26 - (August 2020)
• Day 7 •
Actually, for a syfy Bigfoot movie it’s not that bad. It’s one of the better ones. The story keeps you interested and it has a lot going on. It’s not great by any means, most aren’t. I’m just saying it’s okay for a watch. Some decent acting and scenery. It’s alright.

Terrible movie ! The Sasquatch looks like a basketball player dressed as Chewbacca.
Poor Lance Henriksen. Having to join this crap to earn some pennies for retirement.

CRYPTID MOVIE MARATHON 2024
So…it’s a found footage opening, but there’s a soundtrack score, thus ruining any effectiveness and believability of “found footage”. No clue why the opening was found footage anyway as we get back to “regular movie” once the opening is over. We kind of get an explanation a few scenes later when the scene is found on an old VHS tape, but it’s kind of weak sauce. Moving on…A Sasquatch movie in Arizona? I know, sounds weird. It’s not a state known for Sasquatch sightings.
Yup it does have mountains, heck even ski slopes in the winter, so it’s not impossible that ol’ Bigfoot could be there. Still, if I were making a movie about a “Squatch”…

Best part of the movie is when Lance Henricksen calls someone pumpkin head.

There's a whole decade of Lance henrikson just pretending to fight Bigfoot on camera

Bank Robbers ending up in a horror situation while escaping is seemingly its own subgenre. In this one, they have to flee into the woods after crashing their escape vehicle and daggone if the little town they robbed isn't populated with a grumpy Sasquatch.
The shaking camera stuff bugged me after a while but Lance Henriksen helps the runtime pass (Although, having him refer to someone as Pumpkin Head was a choice...).
I appreciate a big dude in a hairy suit as the (seemingly implied by actions) Old Sasquatch, though.

A tow-truck driver (Lance Hendriksen) winds up in the woods with some cops, a group of robbers and their kidnapped victim. All sides have to come together and try to fight off a sasquatch that has decided to attack them.
SASQUATCH MOUNTAIN, also known as DEVIL ON THE MOUNTAIN, comes from director Steven R. Monroe who is probably best known for his remake of I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE. This film here is yet another attempt to try and cash in on the Bigfoot craze but sadly it's yet another bad film for the sub-genre.
There are all sorts of issues with this film including the fact that it pretty much wants to do too many things. You've got a…

Credo che i titoli di Steven R. Monroe maggiormente conosciuti siano il remake di I Spit on Your Grave ed il suo sequel - che, non avendo una grandissima passione per il rape & revenge, non ho ancora recuperato. A me è capitato di imbattermi in diversi suoi film a tema bestiale, un genere (nella sua derivazione fantastica) che il regista ha toccato svariate volte in carriera. Creature demoniache, orchi, viverne, vermi giganti, sasquatch. Certo, sempre produzioni a budget ridotto e non prive di difetti, ma che hanno la genuinità del sano monster movie. Oltre al fatto di tentare un approccio diverso di volta in volta. Come in questo caso, con uno stile di riprese che fa uso di camera a mano (e relativa…

Really terrible camera work and editing. And the guy in a suit shtick does not work in a movie made in the 2000s. Henriksen is alright but not on screen enough to make this worth your time.
