Makers of new Bigfoot film "Exists" promises to be "respectful"

Image from Syfy's "Bigfoot"

One of the last Bigfoot movies we've seen had an actor named Danny Bonaduce and another guy named Barry Williams who totally butchered the movie. It's was a Syfy movie about a DJ and a conservationist who teamed up to fight against the big-bad-deadly Bigfoot. This didn't sit well with many in the Bigfoot community (and perhaps outside the community), especially with those belonging to the "Forest People Friends" group who believe Bigfoots are partly human. When we learned that Eduardo Sanchez and longtime producer/now co-director Gregg Hale (THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT) are approaching their new film from a more "respectful" point of view, this caught our attention. If they do it right and don’t F-it-up, this could actually be a Bigfoot movie that everyone, including the "Forest People Friends" might agree with.

Sanchez and Hale recently sat down with FANGORIA magazine to explain their approach of creating a creature that "feels real":

With found footage often used as a grounded, humanizing window into more paranormal horror, Bigfoot straddles a line as well. Unreal, yet a creature of the earth, it is this connection and roots which fascinate Sanchez and allow him to still find fear and even tribute in the legend. “To me, it’s the fact that it feels real. We lit it, but there’s never a scene where you’re like that’s a fucking huge light hitting those woods,” Sanchez says. “Everything is very realistic and the creature looks and sounds like it’s really there. It doesn’t do any supernatural—it can’t lift a car, but it is powerful . It’s just the idea of these young people going in kind of cluelessly.”

“Also, we’re trying to be as respectful as possible to the Bigfoot community because they have this belief of this thing that’s out there. I share these sentiments, I want to believe. I love everything about it, so we try to get into it as scientifically as possible. And the whole thing with the Bigfoot people is we didn’t want to make it this killing machine doing Godzilla-like things. We wanted it to be a real character and we thought about that. By the end of the movie you realize there’s more to why it’s doing this. It has human characteristics. I came to the sound mix last week and it really is this cool amount of ape and man and something unknown. To me, it’s this unknown thing coming after you and it’s of this earth. It’s not from outer space. It’s an animal that is chasing you.”

    1. I hate it when an evil skeptical nogoodnick simplifies the bigfoot conversation to "are they real or aren't they"

      That kind of logic really limits me. It's not fair.

      Suffering from PGF-itis, AKA PGF avoidance syndrome.

      This condition is characterized by uncontrollable head and neck jerkings which avert the sufferer's gaze from the PGF.

      This irritating syndrome results in a state of denial and stagnation on the part of the sufferer: the individual with PGF-itis will never see the evidence because of the uncontrollable spasmodic nature of the physical jerkings of the head and neck.

      This condition is frustrating to reasonable people in the vicinity of the sufferer, becauase of the sufferer's inability to look at evidence. The violent jerkings and writhings simply prevent the sufferer from holding his or her line of vision onto the PGF, so the evidence will never be seen by them.

      Treatment for this condition involves such activities as removing the sufferer's head from holes in the ground and other dark, tight spaces. A special head and neck brace may also be obtained, in order to force the sufferer to view the PGF and whatever portions thereof repeatedly until the evidence is recognized and assimilated by the viewer.

    3. Hey 11:36,

      You appear to be suffering from a severe case of jealousy which has brought on an attack of reality denying.
      Whenever you see someone smarter than you you fly into a wild bulling frenzy whereby you attempt to vent your frustration by spouting lies and insults. Your anger at your own retardation, tiny penis, and inferior genetics is never truly abated so you return to this website day after day in a fruitless attempt to escape the reality your inadequacies.
      In an effort to self-justify your own evil actions you have driven yourself into a state of advanced delusion whereby you must constantly lie to reassure yourself while also seeking the company of like-minded liars. Were this website shut down you would be unable to sustain your fantasy for long and the overwhelming weight of your evil would come crashing down upon you and you would be forced to self-terminate.
      For the sake of humanity and for your own good you should immediacy slit your wrists. I assure you that the relief you will experience while waiting for your imminent exsanguination will be the greatest pleasure you will ever have in your entire sad existence

    7. Oh right Anon 1:02, that makes LOADS of sense. When you read Brave New World did you actually sympathize with the dystopian government? All this “just let the retards have their delusion” crap might seem cute to you, but when there’s crusaders breaking down your door you’ll change your tune pretty quick. Lies can be harmful, and truth has value, and if you don’t understand that then you shouldn’t be a skeptic.

    5. Anon 12:58 how many Paranormal Activity movies have there been? Why is that do you think? It sure as hell isn't because they're good movies, it's because they're cheap movies that make good returns for the studio. Like I said Blair Witch was the original, what was it made for $1000 (or was it $100,000) sold for $1000,000 made over $100,000,000 domestic. As long as it's got a good marketing campaign and cheap scares it's bound to make cash

Any reasonable person knows that homosexual is just a “politically correct” code word for child molester. If it wasn’t then there wouldn’t be homosexual indoctrination programs in the public schools. You freaks try to “get them while they’re young” so you can “open their minds” to being fucked in the ass. You people are a disease.

      You shut your faggoty face you subhuman scum. The only people who talk about being “secure in my manhood” are closet fags like you. Real men never had any doubt that they were straight.

As for the retarded inbred that said homosexual was just a PC way to say child molester should look at the facts which clearly show that the majority of paedophilles are white heterosexual men. You are intolerant dumb pieces of shit the fact that you're both saying homophobic shit and arguing with each other it just shows how dumb you are. Dude if you don't like gay men kissing in public then quit watching them ! As for special treatment that gay people are supposed to be getting what you talking about? How can you say they have extra rights when you can go get married to which ever dumb backward sewer skank slut in any state in the US but two people of the same sex can't do that. What's the Constitution say that all men are created equal and have a right to life, liberty and happiness surely the rights that you have every other guy should have straight or gay?

    1. A real movie as found footage movies as cheap as hell to make, they don't need famous actors to be sucessful and unless it's superhero based like Chronicle or giant monster attack like Cloverfield the effects are cheap too. They're a gold mine for the studios, cost a million to make and bring in hundreds of millions at the box office maybe more if released strategically at certain times like Halloween or they have a great viral campaign a la Blair Witch. My guess is as it's Sanchez who made Blair Witch they'll have a viral campaign with hoaxed YouTube videos making the way on the net in the months leading up to release, they pretty much created viral marketing in '99 for Blair Witch so bound to have tricks up their sleeves for this too. Like I said it makes money and the template's there already if it ain't broke don't fix it.

  8. It would be nice if someone produced a film. As cheaply made and silly at times as "The Legend of Boggy Creek" was, it probably is the best one I've seen. I'm not a film maker, but a film watcher, and since this phenomena is real, why doesn't someone capture it with the terror and creep factor that humans feel at THINKING something is out there and it may be a sasquatch? They can use the idea of not showing it too much, which works especially well with this subject. I don't think it should ever attack, but just focus on the stalking it's said to do, the noises, the rock or branch pelting,found footprints, quick sightings of something blurry and hairy...you know, what has been documented by people over and over when they have been in the woods for whatever purpose. Couldn't someone fictionalize a composite experience on film with good actors and a good script? I guess we need Spielberg or M. Knight Shyamalan here. Do the Hitchcockian thing of focusing on the fear that people experience and make the audience feel that.

    3. Like I said earlier on this thread this is one of the guy's who made Blair Witch so expect the same. Beginning : Maybe high schoolers or college kids who are into Squatching and doing a project with a video camera on Bigfoot. Expect to see unedited footage of them being cynical and sceptical of it's existance cept maybe one of them who is a beliver or the other way round where one of them is a stone cold sceptic who later will eat crow. Expect interviews with fake eye witnesses who recount experiences out in them there woods while the film makers mock them off camera as been hokey inbred towns folk. Middle: of course you can't make a fake documentary bout Sasquatch without going into the scary forest and camping out with or without a so called expert in tow to try and lure the beast in so the kids can capture it on camera. Expect, strange howling noises, rock throwing, grunting and eyshine in the tree line and character's saying things like "Did you hear that?" repeatedly and trying to explain things as wolves howling etc. Expect this to intensify to maybe tent prodding and things moved around, most of the film makers will now want to leave but one (either the sceptic who thinks the locals are Scooby Dooing them or he's a real believer who thinks they might trump PGF) will want to stay and will persuade them. End: Sasquatch activity will increase but creature is never shown all but one character will freak out and disappear mysteriously leaving the sceptic/believer character left till the end when the camera is dropped in the forest and maybe we see a big hairy foot in shot with an accompanying grunt as the camera turns off and the credits roll.

    4. You know...you can actually find out what this movie is really about instead of making up your own small minded script. There's this thing called Google and you can find out all sorts of information.

    5. Yes that's right there is a thing called Google and from the brief synopsis available on IMDB and Dread Central they went with the tired old teenagers out for fun and party in the woods and get stalked by Jason Vorhees, er sorry I mean Bigfoot. By the way my movie above was kinda taking the piss and bears a striking resemblance to a certain other movie that Sanchez was involved in.

He thinks that because no one has any evidence to go against the report (well we do) that therefore the report must exist and be scientificly valid. Yup folks you can't make this shit up. He also says anecdotes are just as credible as scientific observations. Yes folks these are his words. Its one thing to lie a about a sighting because you had an uneasy feeling in the woods once but just think about what you are saying. Jesus.
