More of a crime film, than it is a horror.
The Bigfoot Trap tells the story of a tabloid social media journalist, who heads out to rural America, to interview a man that has set out to trap the world's first sasquatch.
Unfortunately for him, the man has done a little investigating of his own...and is privy to the journalist's reputation in the online world.
So, he and his best friend plan to scare this Ryan Gosling lookalike, into thinking the creature is actually real.
However, things go south...when he ends up shooting the man's best friend, out of fear.
Killing him.
Which leads to his confinement in the bigfoot trap, as punishment.
With one thing leading to another...and things getting progressively worse as the film plods on.
The whole thing is super low budget.
But it's an effective little crime film.
Which probably explains why Showtime ended up distributing it.
It's super simple.
But has a bit of cult vibe to it.
And acts as further proof that even the worst bigfoot themed films can be entertaining.
4 out of 10.
