Happy Camp (2014)
2/10
Superfluous found-footage flick.
1 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I suggest that movies that use the found-footage concept should carry a warning, now I was lured into this one unsuspectingly, and I'm pretty much fed up with all these annoying, shaky, out of focus images that I'm forced to watch for a whole movie long! And another warning, that somewhere along the line good old Sasquatch aka Bigfoot is going to pop up as the pivot of the story, would not be superfluous too, I mean: is there in horror-movie history any creature less exciting or more lame than this overblown furry gorilla?!?! This time they didn't use the guy-in-a-suit solution, but (cheap) CGI, with even more detrimental result: it looked like something from an outdated videogame.

For the rest: mediocre acting, uninspiring characters that of course all the time do irresponsible and stupid things, way too little action, and the dubious claim that the movie was meant to be a tribute or a memorial to hundreds of disappeared people (suggested to be Sasquatch victims of course), but I dare to question the truthfulness and sincerity of the latter.

To sum things up I would say: negligible (fortunately lasting only a meagre 75 minutes).
