Cop Jack (David D. Ford) has been suffering from PTSD ever since he had
to shoot a young criminal (Andrew Dickson) in the line of duty, which has
since prevented him from going back to his job. It's only when his brother
Aaron (Stuart Miller) goes missing on a hiking trip through uncharted
territory that Jack springs back into action, trying to track down his
brother everyone else has given up on. Thing is, among the things his
brother has left behind on his campsite is a cellphone video taken right
before his disappearance, suggesting he has been abducted by someone, man
or beast. So Jack takes all the precautions to see that he's not caught by
surprise like his brother was. The first night, Jack is visited by a
Native American who tells him a fantastic tale about a Bigfoot that has
been shot dead in the area, and that his kin might be up in arms for that.
Of course, Jack doesn't believe any of the story, but still doesn't let
his guard down ... and then suddenly he comes face to face with a Bigfoot.
Thing is, Bigfoot is a pretty good and pretty cunning fighter. But thing
is also that Bigfoot might be in the right since he's defending his
territory and sees Jack as an intruder ... A somewhat unusual
take on the titular man vs Bigfoot confrontation, as while all the
action and suspense are in all the right places, it doesn't reduce the
fight to good (= man) vs evil (= creature) but from early on suggests
there might be more to the fight. This is also mirrored in the direction
that might go through all the action tropes but seems to have a
nature-bound edge to it, which in turn fuels the film's atmosphere. And
the result is a creature feature with 21st century sensibilities that
might even speak to people who don't like the genre per se.
