Ah, here is a film that I have wanted to talk about for some time, but for various reasons, haven't had a chance to get to.....until now......
Trust me, it really feels good to talk about a straight-up Bigfoot horror movie for a change, and not an absolutely gonzo one, like, "The Bloody Rage of Bigfoot", or one that is supposed to have the monster in it, and doesn't, like "Boggy Creek."
Fearmakers studios, under the direction of Jordan Blum, have produced just such a film, called "Savage", which is set to make it's debut the weekend of September 25th at the Horrorfind Weekend in Hunt Valley, Maryland.
"Savage" stars veteran television and movie actor, Marty Kove (The Karate Kid, 2 & 3), Tony Becker (Little House on the Prairie), renowned fantastic films star, Lisa Wilcox (Nightmare on Elm Street 4, Star Trek: The Next Generation), soap opera star, Anna Enger and small screen actor, Shane Callahan (Dawson's Creek).
Here's the plot:
A blazing forest fire rips its way through Bear Mountain National Park. As the firefighters try to contain it, the animals are being forced out of their habitat including a beast that was better left undiscovered. Now several firefighters are missing or found mutilated.
When word about the fire spreads, Dale, a scientist dedicated to proving the existence of Bigfoot, hires Jack, a local Bigfoot hunting legend, to help him track the beast. Dale wishes to provide proof of the beast’s existence, Jack wants to find it for revenge. Owen, a park ranger, begins poking around searching for poachers who might be interested in taking pop shots at the fleeing wildlife. He stumbles across Richard and Gabrielle, two petty criminals who are on the run from the law. Owen soon discovers that this simple arrest is anything but routine when he encounters the Bigfoot.
As the creature tears a path through the forest destroying everything and everyone it comes in contact with, Owen must race home to rescue his pregnant wife who stands in the beast’s deadly path and restore order to the park.
Sounds cool enough.
Oh, and before I forget, Marty Kove, Tony Becker and Lisa Wilcox will be on hand at Horrorfind Weekend to promote the film.
Here is the trailer and a couple of pics (including the film's poster) from "Savage":
