Reviews:
“Crandall is fine in the lead, and Michael Paré (Dawn) does his reliable cameo duty, but most of the cast members aren’t convincing as “real” people. Some don’t appear to be trying; in particular, David E. McMahon (Bonehill Road) as the aforementioned tracker seems to approach the material as an SNL sketch — and not a good one.” Flick Attack
“When it comes to what we see, it does end up being rather chaotic and while it does explain all, it tries to put too much into everything. By the end of the film, you will feel like too much has happened, without finding a solution to anything that did happen […] The Wild Man is an overly chaotic found-footage movie.” Movie Reviews 101
” …a rather effective Bigfoot thriller, one that’s nicely structured and fast enough paced with plenty of action setpieces to keep one at the edge of one’s seat even when the story gets slightly silly, and a solid cast keeps things grounded to make this one cool piece of genre cinema.” Search My Trash
“About the only things The Wild Man: Skunk Ape has going for it is the creature itself and leading actress Lauren Crandall. Her girl next door looks and her performance make Sarah likeable and sympathetic despite a lack of help from the script. Given his non-performance, the fact Paré is only on screen for a few minutes could be considered a plus…” Voices from the Balcony
