The Untold/Sasquatch (2002)

- written February 4th, 2011

Summary: Based on actual accounts, Harlan Knowles, billionaire and President of Bio-Comp Industries heads up a team of experts in a quest to locate a company plane that disappeared over the remote forests of the Pacific Northwest. Knowles is obsessed with finding the plane and rescuing his daughter, who was one of its passengers. Soon, the team begins to suspect that Knowles' main objective is actually to recover the prototype of a DNA testing machine. After finding the plane and its crew torn to shreds, the group tries to piece together clues about what could be responsible for the carnage.           Overall: The only thing worth watching this film for is the usual brilliance of Lance Henriksen. Otherwise…skip it. Especially with that ending. Wow! Supposedly this is all based on “real life events,” it’s still a bad film. For the most part, the film is about a lost canister and oh, yeah the daughter of the billionaire. But at some point 2-3 appearances by “the sasquatch” make this a film called “sasquatch.” For the most part you’d think the film was about people lost in the woods looking for some super secret sci-fi device. They try to humanize the creature and its plight and frankly the film’s plot just seemed confused on what it was trying to accomplish.           Comparison: Behemoth meets Sasquatch
