There’s been a horde of bigfoot films lately, of which I’ve seen many (and reviewed in Rue Morgue magazine). Most are terrible and a few are good. Many of the terrible ones try to exploit the fame/name of The Legend of Boggy Creek or imitate it, or flat out take footage and paste it into their “movie.” I recently got a sneak peak at 7 minutes worth of an upcoming bigfoot-themed flick called Something in the Woods. It was filmed in Texas and is based on a combination of two incidents, the “Cowman of Copalis Beach” and the “Ruby Creek Incident”. From what I could see this looks like it has potential, and of all the films actually captures a bit of the nostalgic Legend of Boggy Creek atmosphere without that even being its goal. Only time will tell, but looks promising so far. Release is slated for sometime next year. Here’s the movie’s facebook page if you want to follow.
