Found footage I can’t defend
I try really hard to see the good in found footage films, since I genuinely love the genre, but this film is definitely on the bad end of the found footage spectrum. That anyone would want to take credit for writing this hour and twenty minute lesson in bad improv is fully shocking. Or… it _would be_ shocking if the writer weren’t also the director and star. He plays a completely unlikable d-bag surrounded by three friends (one of whom is played by Tom Pelphrey a.k.a. the entire reason I gave this film a chance, since there were no other reviews to warn me away from it) who all spend a majority of the film in some kind of disagreement with him, each actor seemingly on a quest to find out how many f-bombs it takes for a conversation to sound realistic.

Discussing the actual plot seems almost pointless since it doesn’t kick in until eighteen minutes before the credits role. (Don’t you worry, though: they make up for that fact by annoying you with sporadic and irrelevant clips of the last few scenes throughout the entire first hour of the film.) But anyway, let’s:

It’s a hunt for bigfoot.

Enough said.

So, if you’re interested in few seconds of a bad boogie-man costume at the end of a way-too-long slog through a terrible guy and his three not-so-terrible friends semi-tolerating each other, then definitely give this one a try.

F-Bomb Island
Apparently, director/writer/actor David Wexler felt that the script needed the F-Bomb dropped every fifth or sixth word. Perhaps this was done to add a gritty, earthy, authentic air to the film. It didn’t.

Wexler stars as Daniel, an ill-tempered, narcissistic, foul-mouthed, morally bankrupt cretin named David. David is an amateur filmmaker who is setting out to prove, or disprove, the existence of Bigfoot, or a Bigfoot-like creature on Turtle Island, in Vermont. David is another one of those folks who feels the need to film absolutely every aspect of his life, and everyone that he interacts with. Another penchant of his is to video and audio record his friends without their knowledge, or consent.

The film is intercut between David’s daily interactions, cuts to events yet to come in the movie, and interviews with people who claim to have had a cryptozoological experience, or to know someone who had.

David’s plan is to take Tim, and their girlfriends, Daisy and Laura, to Turtle Island to document Bigfoot. On the drive over, one of the girlfriends, Daisy, very actively and gleefully describes the other girlfriend’s, Laura, prediliction and fetish for performing oral sex, because what else do friends talk about, right? Then David describes how, when, and where he first met his girlfriend. Daniel conducts “interviews” with Tim, Daisy, and Laura, asking why they’re coming along on the expedition, and of course, he asks them to kiss for the camera, because that’s what all paranormal/cryptozoological documentarians do just before the big event, right?

On the way to Vermont, just as they cross the state line, our intrepid quartet passes a lone woman walking along the side of the road. Laura makes the group stop so that they can check on the woman. When Laura gets out of the car to approach the woman, the woman turns and aggressively charges at Laura. When Laura turns and bolts back to the car, the woman stops. While the others are making sure that Laura is all right, the mystery roadside woman has suddenly disappeared.

Once the group is settled into a motel, Daniel video-chats with his older brother, and asks how he ought to approach the subject of Bigfoot. The brother’s advice is to suggest that there is no “monster” at all; rather that the actual creatures are an off-shoot of humanity with the genetic condition, hypertrichosis, or the “werewolf disease” of excessive facial and body hair.

Our intrepid band next rents two canoes to paddle over to Turtle island. Now, being as this is a horror movie, trespassing on Turtle Island is illegal, as it has been designated as a wildlife sanctuary. Being as this is a horror movie, our merry band does what all intrepid bands do when prevented with such an obstacle; they go anyway.

Daniel, being a narcissistic prick, feels that the documentary about the search for Bigfoot needs angst, division, and personal rancor among the group. He explains that this “drama” is necessary for the documentary. According to Daniel’s theory, cryptid creatures like Bigfoot are drawn to interpersonal tension and anger between the human beings looking for them. So, he drops information specifically meant to cause tension between Tim, and his girlfriend, Laura. Of course, Tim threatens to punch Daniel’s lights out, and to throw his camera into the water. Daniel grudgingly and insincerely apologizes, and the group carries on.

The group sets up camp, everyone is in a pissy mood, as intended by Daniel, and he suggests that they all need to start drinking alcohol. That’s what Bigfoot documentarians do before beginning the great search, they get blottoed, right? People are in a bad mood already, so let’s throw some booze on that fire!

Dan and Daisy wander off to have a heart to heart, and after making nice, Daniel says, “Let’s go get drunk!”.

Daisy and Daniel wander back to camp to find that Tim and Laura are already getting s**t-faced, and Tim has a beer in one hand, and a gun in the other. What could go wrong here?! Let’s illegally trespass on a wildlife/nature preserve, get drunk, and play with guns! Yeah, baby, yeah! Oh, and by the way, Tim and Laura dropped an equipment bag in the water on the canoe trip to the island, and none of the lanterns work. Let’s drink and head off into dark, unfamiliar territory, anyway!

After pounding a few beers, our band of idiots goes out at night looking for Bigfoot. Off on his own, Daniel sees something while filming. He believes this to be Bigfoot, and so he runs back to camp to tell the others. They don’t believe him, but go with him.into the woods to look for the big, hairy beast, anyway.

Tim and Daniel bicker. Tim and Laura bicker. Daniel and Daisy bicker, and these are all supposed to be close friends. While Tim and Laura are bickering, someone or something moves in the woods. This surprises the group, and Daisy disappears. While looking for Daisy, Daniel finds a working cell phone, and miraculously, there’s someone on the phone. This mystery person knows who Daniel is, why Daniel is there, and advised him to take the group and leave the island immediately.

After this call, the group finds Daisy, who has been seriously wounded, and is bleeding. She says that some creature but her on the side. While the group is trying to get back to camp, and then off of the island, Daniel makes the strategic move of stripping down to his skivvies and venturing into the water to retrieve the canoes, which have been set adrift. While Daniel is in the water, Tim hears something close by and beckons Daniel back to shore.

Daniel and Tim take Daisy and Laura to an out house and leave them there with the camera. After a short time, Daniel and Tim come back for the girls, and are promptly attacked by what seems to be a Bigfoot. The creature demonstrated superhuman strength by picking up Daniel and hurling him with considerable force against a tree 20 or 25 feet away. Daniel is dead.

Tim gathers up Daisy and Laura and gets them back to camp, where they find the creature ravaging their campsite. The creature disappears, and Tim shepherds Daisy and Laura back into the woods, ostensibly towards the canoes. They hear mysterious noises as they make their way through the woods. Tim gets them back to the shoreline, and he seems off after the canoes. Using the camera’s night vision feature, Laura can see that Tim is dead in the water.

Another Bigfoot creature appears, and Laura shoots it with a flare gun. This appears to drop the creature. Then, while the girls are trying to collect themselves, six more huge, hairy creatures appear, and the last shot of the movie is of Laura being dragged away into the woods. Just as the movie ends, a young woman who is briefly featured in a flashback earlier in the movie appears. She is on camera as the police are pounding on the door, off-camera. Looking into the camera, she puts a pistol into her mouth, says, “I’m sorry…” and blows her brains out. The end.

During the flashback sequences in the movie, there is the strong suggestion that a group of people on the island are pretending to be Bigfoots, and prey upon anyone who shows up there. I know that if I was actively looking to prey on people, I would certainly set up camp someplace where no one is supposed to go. Y’know, because people are always breaking the law and trespassing where they aren’t supposed to be. Yep. All of the time, or at least enough to satisfy the whim of the Bigfoot pretenders on the island. Where no one is supposed to be. So, are there humans disguising themselves as Bigfoot? Are there actual Bigfoots? A bit of both? The creature that hurls Daniel at the tree certainly exhibited extraordinary, monstrous strength, greater than any human being could muster. The flashbacks also show a wounded, burly man laying on a table, complaining about “the bi**h that shot him with the flare gun.”. This would have to be Laura, yes? Who knows? Who cares?

Instead of watching this garbled mess of a movie, canoe out to an island that isn’t off-limits to visitors, and look for turtles. That would be time better spent than watching this dreck.
