Author and filmmaker Bruce G. Hallen beck needs no introduction in the indie horror community for his output in the 1990s and early 2000s that's mostly fondly remembered. The Kinderhook Creature isn't about that aspect of the man though but about his encounters with the paranormal growing up in Kinderhook in the Hudson Valley, historically one of the first areas of the USA the white immigrants built their settlements, and  an area particularly ripe with otherworldly encounters.

And documentaary filmmaker uses his usual care when, based on Hallenbeck's book The Kinderhook Creature and Beyond: A Personal Reminiscence he interviews the man himself as well as other locals about their paranormal experiences, these ranging from ghosts to a "white blob" to UFOs and of course the local variation of Bigfoot, without Breedlove, personally not much of a doubter, ever taking anything just at face value but rather interested in recording oral history than landing a "scoop" - and that's what makes tthis film so interesting (besides Hallenbeck as a gifted orator that is), it doesn't try to prove anything, it rather makes Hudson Valley paranormal vibes palpable to the audience (also via atmospheric filmmaking) and drags one into the story whether one's a believer or not.
