Taku-He (2017)
By William Pattison
For Horror Bob’s Blog
While scouting locations for a new feature, a film company
finds out about a creature that is terrifying
the town of Riverdale. Intrigued they decide to do a side documentary. The
sheriff and the mayor of the town are opposed to the documentary because of fears
it will make the town look bad. Still they decide to continue. Then they meet a
man obsessed with the beast he calls the
Taku-He. This meeting turns out to be a fatal mistake because they find out the
creature is very real and out for blood, their blood.
This film is by far not as bad as some of the reviews on
IMDB would make you think. The acting is a lot better than 75 percent of the
Big Foot movies I’ve seen. These people
put their “micro” budget to good use, they focused on characterization rather
than waste money on huge, expensive scenes. The monster costume is laughable,
but they did take the hint from Legend of Boggy Creek and kept the creature’s face covered with long hair. I
just wish they could have afforded a muscle under suit because Taku-He was way
too baggy. Also the hand gloves needed some foam in them to make it look
better.
Still, I would put this film in the middle in my Big Foot
film ranking. Not a masterpiece, but not horrible. So much so that I will
recommend this film as at the very least that you’ll get some entertainment out
of this film, it you smoke a doobie while watching it…lol…
