Reviews:
“Shadows of Bigfoot stands out among Bigfoot found footage films by taking a different approach. While it may not focus on the creature as much as some fans would like, this unique perspective is refreshing. The characterizations are strong, and the scares are well-placed. Most notably, Rudnicki continues to improve his craft within the found footage subgenre, impressively showing that there is still untapped potential to be mined.” 8/10 Film Threat
“The makeup effects are really, really good, and some with a weak stomach won’t be able to get to the end (seriously, the shots where mangled bodies are shown are… insane). No cheap sound effects, and no lousy editing. Shadows of Bigfoot is supported by decent production value that shows how valuable DBS is at the moment for horror film production.” Movie Blogger
“While I’m all in favor of crafting any project for maximum efficiency, I’m still strongly opposed to circumventing the core principles that make ‘found footage’ what they’re supposed to be in the first place. Those rather obvious gripes aside, Shadows will still likely resonate with those who are more forgiving than I – it had bits and pieces I enjoyed – and it might even achieve a modest cult status with footage enthusiasts in the years ahead.” SciFiHistory
