Bigfoot Movies

This is actually a yeti movie. When Connie Hayward's brother doesn't return from his expedition into the Himalayan Mountains, she decides to mount her own search and rescue trip.

Soon, Connie and her friends are attacked by giant snowmen and Varga reveals he has some interesting plans for Connie.

Half Human was originally released in Japan in 1958 and directed by Ishiro Honda, who directed the first Godzilla movie. This was Honda's second monster movie. The plot is simple, residents in a small Japaneses town worship a huge yeti like creature. When the head of a traveling circus hears about the creature, he decides it would make a great addition to the circus and decides to try to capture it. Big mistake of course, as they accidentally kill the monster's offspring which sets into motion the yeti seeking revenge.

The greatest monster since King Kong...well, at least the producers had high hopes for this movie. Released in 1970 and starring John Carradine, Joi Lansing , Christopher and John Mitchem (yes both related to legendary actor Robert Mitchem) .

The plot of this film is that Bigfoot needs to ensure that his race will continue to survive so he decides to start kidnapping human women. This works fine, I guess, until he makes the mistake of kidnapping a girlfriend of a biker, who assembles all of his biker friends to go on a rescue mission.

This classic corny, campy film has yet to be released onto DVD, but you can find some VHS tapes out there if you are so minded.

Two anthropology students hear about fishermen who are being attacked at Black Lake in Louisiana. Soon the word on the street, or is that lake, that the creature is none other than Bigfoot himself. The students decide to head to Black Lake with the intention of capturing Bigfoot.

I'm noticing a bit of a trend for Lance Henriksen, he seems to like working in Bigfoot movies, but that's OK. In this film he is truck driver, Chase Jackson who just happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. When his truck is smashed into by a van driven by bank robbers with a hostage, he finds himself caught in the middle of struggle between the robbers, the cops and yes, Sasquatch, who just happens to have an appetite for human flesh. Also stars Cerina Vincent, Michael Worth (who wrote the screenplay) and great character actor Tim Thomerson, Also please note this film is sometimes known under the title of "Devil in the Mountain".
