Hoax! The Horror Is Real!

A new bigfoot horror movie called Hoax has been released, but is it worth the watch? Check out this review from adventuresinpoortatste.com.

Bigfoot is as much of an American institution as Mickey Mouse and apple pie. The subject of books and reality shows, the monster is instantly recognizable. It comes as no surprise there have also been many movies about the elusive creature. Hoax is a unique take with strong characters. Unfortunately, it’s erratic tone prevents it from being better than average.

Hoax starts off with six young people on a camping trip. They are all mysteriously and violently killed. Some time later, a reporter decides he is going to take a team up to the same mountains. His goal is to find Bigfoot. When things take a dangerous turn, the group begin to wonder who can be trusted.

It is usually a bad thing when a film is filled with stereotypes. Horror movies are one of the exceptions. Character tropes are so accepted in the genre, they are beyond criticism. It is more of a pleasant surprise than an expectation to see a horror movie do something different with its characters. Hoax is filled with stereotypical characters with only slight changes. The bullying jock is a desperate would be television personality. The popular mean girl at school is a popular mean reporter. There is a pothead (cryptozoologist) and the nice jock (ex Marine). The troubles of the father and intelligent final girl are par for the course.
