I cannot believe how they squandered the opportunity to make a truly good film. One of the major problems with the found footage genre is poor acting and poor dialogue, which usually comes down to constant bickering and acting either like an idiot or like a hysterical bitch (or both). Therefore to see decent dialogue and acting in Bigfoot County immediately caught my attention. Moreover, the setup was pretty good: they meet a weird guy, find themselves alone in a hostile environment, and they realize someone is stalking them and leading them away from safety. But then it starts ripping off Blair Witch and eventually turns into the boring old "hillbillies bent on raping city folk" thing. To make things worse, the second half of the film is poorly directed and simply not very interesting. The film had so much promise and I can't believe they allowed it to devolve into this pile of nonsense. You don't need to rip off Blair Witch and Deliverance to make a Bigfoot movie.
