Willow Creek (2013) (D: Goldthwait; S: Gilmore, Johnson)
Jim and his girlfriend Kelly are in Willow Creek, California, to retrace the steps of Bigfoot researchers Patterson and Gimlin, who, in 1967, recorded the most famous film of the legendary monster. Kelly is a skeptic, along for the ride to spend time with her boyfriend between acting gigs. Jim, a believer, hopes to capture footage of his own, so his camera is constantly rolling. The small town is a mecca to the Bigfoot community; sasquatch statues guard the local businesses, murals of the missing link line the roads, and Bigfoot burgers are the town delicacy. The couple interview locals who range from skeptic to believer and from manic to completely menacing. Some of the stories they hear are of chance encounters with a gentle creature, while others are tales of mysterious eviscerations. On the day that Jim and Kelly plan on hiking into the woods to look for proof, they are given a simple warning: “It’s not a joke. You shouldn’t go there.” Despite the ominous message and Kelly’s own reservations, they head deep into the forest to set up camp. The events that follow will make them wish they had simply spent the night at the Bigfoot Motel.

Damn no little quick shot of a monster or anything, just screaming and giggling?
Looks too much like Blair Witch Project.

Most people will probably hate, hate, the living shit out of this flick but I loved it (plus it's a found-footage flick and love that genre).
Just watched it tonight, unfortunately by the time it gets going, it's over.
I mainly wanted to ask if anyone (and by the looks of it, nobody watched it) at all knows what the hell was up

I really liked it. I didnt think it was going to be some SyFy type flick showing Bigfoot throughout and that's what makes it a good watch.
I'd like to say it has it's suspenseful moments that aren't silly but really get into it.
