Hunting Grounds will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on May 2 through Uncork’d Entertainment ( Peelers, Bethany, They Call Me Jeeg). The extras included on the DVD include audio commentary with writer/director John Portanova, producer Matt Medisch, and director of photography Jeremy Berg and a making-of feature. You won’t find anything mind-blowing in this film, but if you’re a fan of the mighty Bigfoot, you’ll probably enjoy this one. Final ThoughtsĪ winner of the Best Sci-Fi Horror Film at the Toronto Independent Film Festival 2015, Hunting Grounds is a decent way to spend an hour and a half. I was also not very impressed with the look of the Bigfoots… uhm, Bigfeet? The bodies were fantastic but the faces looked like hard plastic masks that never changed expression.
#The hunting ground 2015 movie
For a movie about killer Sasquatches, I was hoping to see more damage done by these giant guys. As a matter of fact, there was only one onscreen Bigfoot kill. Would he survive?Īlthough the film had great flow, I was disappointed that the first onscreen Bigfoot kill didn’t happen until over an hour into the film. So when he was attacked by a mysterious, hairy creature in the first five minutes of the film, I felt pretty let down.

is one of my favorite actors and when I found out he was going to be in this film, I was even more excited to see it. Last but not least is lone camper Bauman (Bill Oberst, Jr.). However, the fact that I couldn’t stand him just shows how well David Saucedo’s acting is. He was such a douchebag to everyone around him. Sergio, on the other hand, could not die fast enough. I loved the family dynamic between Michael, his father and his uncle. The kid’s only saving grace is his visiting Uncle Will (D’Angelo Midili), his mother’s brother and the only person who seems to have Michael’s best interests at heart.

He invites his buddy, Sergio (David Saucedo), a cutting, unsympathetic man full of machismo, up to the cabin to go hunting, much to the chagrin of Michael. Running out of savings and still not ready to go to work, Roger moves his son to the mountainside hunting cabin owned by his late wife’s family to try and save money. Teenager Michael (Joris-Peyrafitte) and his newly widowed dad, Roger (Jason Vail), are both still shaken by the death of Michael’s mother.

There wasn’t any unneeded dialogue or padded, lagging scenes. I thought Hunting Grounds had great flow.
