Did You Know?

Goofs

Professor Nugent's face is bandaged in the opening sequence, and the rest of the movie is a flashback to how his face became mutilated. In the beginning scenes, his face is bandaged so that the entire upper half of his face looks normal. However, when we see the actual incident where his face gets burned, his entire face is burned to the point of causing death by trauma and dehydration. See more »

Perfect for fans of hilariously bad movies!!
16 December 1998 | by (Old Forge, PA) – See all my reviews

I was introduced to this movie by a fellow Bigfoot buff friend of mine who had found a copy of this oh-so-rare film. When he said I was in for a treat, I had no idea. This movie screams to be massacred on MST3K. A college professor takes a few of his students out to some small island searching for Bigfoot. While there, the professor tells the kids many tales of people and their fatal encounters with Bigfoot. The flashbacks contain hilariously bad special effects and Bigfoot doing just plain silly things. I wouldn't want to ruin any points of this masterpiece for all you other "Z-Movie" fans out there. All I can say is, that you'll laugh til it hurts with this one (if you can find a copy of the movie, that it. It is rather difficult to find).
