Eduardo Sanchez (not the one that sired Kenny Powers) is gearing up for a found footage style Bigfoot film called Exists. Here’s the details on it.
” ‘Exists’ is a horror-thriller that chronicles a group of friends who set out into a remote Texas woods for a weekend of fun and are stalked and hunted by Bigfoot.”
I’m still on board with found footage films as long as they get it right (Apollo 18, and the last 2 Paranormal Activity films haven’t.), and I became a life long fan of Eduardo Sanchez after seeing Altered. (If you haven’t seen this criminally underseen masterpiece, then you should.) I will see any of his films just based on that film. I have faith that he will do good things with Bigfoot and Found Footage*. I mean it’s Bigfoot. How can you not want to see a movie with Bigfoot in it? A killer Bigfoot as well.
I mean maybe we’ll see something close to this.
*He is one half of the team that spurred the re-interest in Found Footage films with The Blair Witch Project, which I remember not liking when I saw it in the theater with my Uncle back in 1999, but upon revisiting it many years later, I found it to be damn effective and scary. So at least we know he knows how to do Found Footage well.

Altered is absolutely tremendous. I read about it on here first, then Netflix’d it, then bought it through Netflix back in the day. Awesome stuff, indeed.
Watching The Blair Witch Project at home alone in the dark is much better than the experience of seeing it in the theater.
Make it a double feature with The Legend of Boggy Creek.
Creature from Black Lake is easily the greatest Bigfoot movie.
When I finally revisited The Blair Witch Project with was on a tv and dvd player my cousin and I had set up via extension cords outside in a tent we had set up. It was after midnight when we saw the dvd. MAXIMUM EFFECTIVENESS.
Okay, looking up Altered…
Well, that’s just asking for it.
Altered is excellent. Seventh Moon is pretty good too. Lovely Molly looks like it might be another winner. Of the pair of directors that made The Blair Witch Project, Eduardo Sanchez is DEFINITELY the one with more talent. I haven’t cared much for any of Daniel Myrick’s post-Blair projects.
Saw Legend of Boggy Creek at the theater as a kid and simultaneously laughed / crapped myself over the toilet scene. I’m up for any decent killer Bigfoot movie. Note the word “decent.”
