A total stinker
Sasquatch spent most of the 90s toiling away in such horrendously lame'n'tame children's movie bilge as " Little Bigfoot , " " Bigfoot : The Unforgettable Encounter , " and " Big and Hairy , " which makes this regional redneck horror / action hybrid a definite anomaly , but still nothing to get all excited about .

A horrendously crappy'n'sappy piece of kiddie pic schlock
In the early 90's at the height of the appallingly cutesy direct-to-video Bigfoot kiddie flick craze there had to be at least one equally atrocious and icky-sweet sentimental claptrap yeti children's movie . This disgustingly gooey made-for-Canadian TV tripe starring a hideously wimpy , mewling , lovable'n'huggable ema...

Positively putrid bottom-of-the-barrel direct-to-vid slasher schlock
