-From the director of The Blair Witch Project comes a film about, and I kid you not, five teenagers who are on a cabin getaway and are hunted by Bigfoot. The teens must survive and find a way to escape in this interesting found-footage film.
-Exists is one of the most cliché movies I've ever seen, but I didn't really expect different. Especially because it's a film version of the Messing With Sasquatch commercials.
-The story is pretty cliché. There are five teens, the white leader, the black tough guy, the blonde, the smart girl, and the unlikable cameraman, who are at this cabin for some reason and nobody knows they are there. And then Bigfoot.
-The tone is pretty creepy, as much as I don't like found-footage films. It's still effective and it has a theme of 'you reap what you sow' which I found compelling. The pace is also pretty good. They get straight to the point, but they also miss some opportunity for character development.
-The acting's not worth anything in this. Everyone fills their horror stereotypes well, which means they are all not good.
-All you see of Bigfoot himself is pretty much what people would claim is Bigfoot in, well, real footage. So effective. He does also show up at the end, which is rewarding. Good job makeup team! -The music is eerie, but at one point I was wondering if it was even necessary.
-The scares are meh. The jumpscares are not scary, but the suspenseful elements are suspenseful.
-The film is rated-R for language really. It has some moderate language throughout.
-So Exists takes a super-cliché premise and makes an actually interesting found-footage film about Bigfoot. I found myself enjoying it. I will say that if you like the style, Exists is worth watching on Netflix/Redbox. I am only going to give it a 6.5 for its unoriginality and acting though.

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Exists" (2014) is a not the best not the worst horror flick out there. Shoot in a "found footage" style it tells a story of a group of teen who found them self in the pursuit from Bigfoot. The acting was just OK for this material, but overall movie is quickly forgettable nor really intriguing. At the running time 1 h 17 min (it's kinda short movie) it barely drags, but there is no character development, so we don't really care who dies who lives.
Overall, "Exists" is just OK horror flick, quickly forgettable one, but kinda enjoyable while it lasts. The director is Eduardo Sánchez, who created the legendary horror flick "The Blair Witch Project" (and one of the most successful horror flicks ever). Here he comes back to the formula, but the result is not very successful.

This tells you what it is going on. Get chased by Bigfoot. Directed by the godfather of found footage.
There's seriously zero wrong with this. I'm giving it a seven because I wanted some twists.
But if you want what it says on box then it's perfect.

Eduardo Sanchez, the creator of The Blair Witch Project, once again reunites himself and his crew deep into the woods. Instead of being attacked by a ghostly witch we never get to see, we are introduced to bigfoot.
After seeing the trailer I was so wanting to see this movie, even though I already knew what to expect, the typical found footage movies. It's nothing short of cliché and repetition. However, this film did actually scare me a little bit and kept me on the edge of my seat.
As a found film footage it doesn't really bring anything new to the, except for a few things, which are pretty good. It's one that will keep you jumping, keep you entertained and definitely keep your heart racing in several scenes. I liked the several Blair Witch throwbacks that were sporadically throughout the film. It was a really cool way to give homage to the movie that made his career.
I have read mixed reviews on this, and as always I don't want people to take my word for it, experience it for yourself and see what you think about it.

I've seen several big foot movies. The best of them all was The Lost Coast Tapes. Exists is a good big foot movie, and unlike The Lost Coast Tapes, this actually shows the monster. That could be a good or a bad thing, depending on the costumes and special effects used. The Lost Coast Tapes did a great job while not showing the creature, and Exists does a good job showing it. There's not really much imagination needed when you think of what big foot looks like; tall, hairy, ape or man-like.
I gave this movie a 5-star rating. The acting was pretty good, as were the big foot costumes. When the camper is thrown down the hill, it looks like the people were really inside.
Some things annoyed me, such as in the cabin, there was a perfectly good cellar that the people didn't use until they had absolutely no choice. With a monster that is huge and powerful and looking to kill, I think they all would've moved down there immediately after finding the cellar.
Also, when going through the woods, trying to be undetected, Todd kept talking, and Dora wouldn't stop calling for Matt. Morons. One last complaint. I am so sick of the camcorder POV for these movies. Virtually the entire movie was through the camcorder. They could've done this movie just fine without doing that. Still, all-in-all, I was entertained watching it.

- TriviaThe "Upside Down Tree" shown on the official Poster (mark of "Big Foot") is still planted at Spiderwood Studios, filming location for "Exists"
- GoofsWhen Matt calls 911 multiple times but keeps getting cut off because of a weak signal, 911 would in fact have attempted to call him back even before he tried calling them again, so long as he has active service with a provider. *Maybe the 911 call center wasn't able to get through to him, since the signal was so weak.*
