About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct).
Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015.
Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
Everybody seems to be jumping on the “southern fried” bandwagon…
This movie gets a free clap for failing utterly to excite my interests. “Based on true events”? What, someone saw a ‘Squatch, and then they stretched it out into a slasher flick?
I was able to catch a special screening of “Wildman” last year and I enjoyed it immensely. It’s an homage to 70s Drive-In films in general and to movies like “The Legend of Boggy Creek” and “Creature from Black Lake” in particular. It’s very atmospheric and impressive, and it really does capture that drive-in movie feel. If you like the afformentioned movies that inspired it, you’ll love this one.
When I saw “based on true events” I practically fell out of my chair. Well, you know how these Hollywood movies can be when basing stories on “true events.” Something tells me it is going to be very, very loosely based on what is supposed to have really happened. The town name could be the same and that would qualify as “based on true events.” Not saying that is an indication of quality. For all we know, this movie could blow our minds.
By the way, love the tusks and the, let’s see.. six tentacle-like fingers the creature is sporting.
Think hobo in animal skins with boar tusks jammed in his mouth, carrying deer antlers as weapons.
Stupid, unbelievable piece of worthless film. No bigfoot here, but if you are into feeling up disabled stroke victims this will yank your chain well.
I for one would have no problem giving this movie a try.
There’s nothing wrong with a little “Southern-style Drive-In Movie Theater Feel” in a movie once in a while.
It’s like Sweets—-good once in awhile, as long as one does not go “overboard” with them. Everything in moderation. Good post.
LOL, jeez those are some strong feelings about a movie. Just out of curiousity, did you see the movie or is that just your initial thoughts on the film?
The creature on the cover does look a bit suspicious though with the long, boar-like tusks coming out of his mouth and the 10-inch long Freddy Kruger looking fingernails 🙂
But I’ll still give it a shot though since southernfriedbigfoot gives it a thumbs up. I could use some good entertainment after the month I’ve had here at the office, and a “drive-in” inspired creature feature sounds like just the ticket.
