I could not finish watching the entire movie, I got about 3/4's of the way. First of all, the movie is way too long(100 minutes), and the blood effects are just way too fake, I mean I know low budget is low budget, but the killing scenes are just too comical. The ape looks like a retard making comical grunts, and posturing, and the costume is just plain lame. I did love the opening credits, great job there. The acting was very bad, and when the ape lifts the cop car, that was just too ridiculous, it looked so fake, I think this film would have been better if a different approach to the ape was used, and they limited the blood and gore, the movie had potential and that's why I give it a three. Finishing a film is an accomplishment and these film makers did just that.

Yikes! So this is a scary movie, just not in the good horror movie kind of way, it's just scary bad. I never particularly enjoy the ones that are this incompetent and cheap and amateurish on most every level you can think of, it's the kind of bad where you have to turn your brain off just to get any real enjoyment, and that has its place with B-movies that are actually fun and entertaining, but this movie is just rotten and it harmed me physically, I got headache! Except for making you laugh once or twice maybe, it doesn't have any good qualities. I must have caught like five sentences while watching it because the way the lines are delivered my brain just went nope, you ain't watching that! I'd already checked out mentally before it even got to the ten minute dialogue scenes because frankly the acting is the least of this movie's problems. The movie would have been better without the reporter character because he was the worst, they were all poor actors but he was a sack of potatoes in front of the camera and whenever he was on screen the movie went from a one to a negative-one, he was an energy sapper. It should have just focused on the Native American chick fighting the ridiculous motorcycle-roaring sasquatch. The sasquatch just looked so bad and cheap like a dime store Halloween costume that has too much chest showing lol. Power Rangers monsters were more impressive. It was also the writing, the mixing of horrible practical effects with even worse cgi, apparently this movie couldn't even afford to use a real net, and it was always doing that thing where someone would go outside and it would be nighttime when it had clearly just been daytime, in the scenes where you'll get people's limbs flying all over the place, in the next scene they'd be attached, just sloppy and mostly very boring to me.. In closing this is not a so bad it's good movie, not really, the genuinely fun ones aren't usually such endurance tests to sit all the way through. I'm all for cheesy horror but I'd rather drop an anvil on my foot then watch all that again. Thank you Suburban Sasquatch, my soul hurts. 🎃

Fans of questionable cinema will adore "Suburban Sasquatch". This movie is so bad that it's a joy to watch, and it's that way in part because the film makers knew they weren't making Citizen Cane.
I truly question people who would write a review of this and declare it a waste of time.If you're buying or renting a DVD set called "Depraved Degenerates" that has no stills from the movie anywhere on the packaging, and you're getting 6 movies for $10, what are you truly expecting to see? The Godfather? Terminator 2? The Sasquatch featured in this film is a fellow in a cheap store bought gorilla suit, complete with fuzzy slippers for feet, who offs unsuspecting suburbanites by pulling out their hearts kung-fu style and beating people with their own bloody stumps. If that doesn't make you want to see this, you aren't a true fan of bad cinema, so you probably should just run down to Blockbuster instead.
The only criticism I have for the film, is that it's a bit overly long, and the bland, odd love interest between our star and starlet gets in the way of a truly fun no-budget romp.
Pick this one up, call over a couple of like minded friends and break out the snacks.

Personal note: When I was a kid, there was a local teenager who made his own movies. He would invite the neighborhood kids over to his house, put a bed sheet on the wall, load up the projector, and... his latest horror "masterpiece" would work its magic. Mostly, it was kids from the same street, running around, falling, pretending to be dead, etc. There was also a lot of ketchup utilized.
Fast forward to 2004, and SUBURBAN SASQUATCH is unleashed. It uses the very same aforementioned filming techniques, only now it's adults running around instead of children. Horrendous CGI "effects" have replaced most of the ketchup, especially for the fire hose-like, blood spraying shots.
There are no production values per se, as this isn't really a production of any sort. Just wait until you see the "cops"! Don't even get me started on the whole "native American" angle! As for Sasquatch / Footy himself, well, let's just say that it was half off day at the used costume shop!
Oh my goodness!
Shot on what appears to have been a cell phone, it still managed to cost over $10,000.00 to make! Someone must have eaten an awful lot of pizza!
Now, in spite of everything stated, make no mistake, this "movie" is extremely entertaining. So, gather your friends, amass the appropriate intoxicants, and be prepared to howl until your lungs burn...

The tagline for this one should read something like this: C-list non-actors accosted by roving hair-suit idiot with massive Sasquatchian pepperoni nipples!
Well that was quite terrible.....having seen "Suburban Sasquatch" the other day gang, I can confidently tell you all that it's easily among the worst films ever made - and dare I say it, in it's most charming of moments this stinking, low-budget, crapfest of a movie has something of a Birdemic-quality to it. So that's something in it's favor, I guess. Of obvious amateur make Suburban Sasquatch is profoundly sub-par in all possible aspects and that's especially true when speaking of the acting that's seen throughout the film. But worse yet are the horrifically bad (sub-Birdemic quality) CGI effects which very frequently stain and smear the screen with copious amounts of computer-generated gore; the films CGI effects are simply among the worst ever seen anywhere. Combine those terrible effects with the fact that this movie was shot on video and you have one of the most visually cringeworthy collision of pixels ever assimilated in the form of a movie.
The films cast is simply beyond terrible and all have day jobs, this is especially true for "Rick" the films scrappy and "quick-witted" reporter. This-shlub-has-absolutely-no-business-being-in-movies! And then there's "John" the sheriff whose just as inept, but he just doesn't have as much screen time to show off his pitifully pathetic acting talents. But perhaps the most pathetic part of this movie is the Sasquatch itself...or rather the Sasquatch's suit; for starters the fur on the hands does not match the rest of it's fur and the mask looks as phony as can be. BUT best (worst?) of all are those massive-inverted-Sasquatchian-pepperoni-nipples!!! Just who was the perv who made that obscene suit?
And so as this most heavy-handed of hack-jobs neared conclusion I found myself cataloging all the usual amateurish mistakes, and let me tell you along the way I checked-off virtually all the mistakes typically made by amateur film crews (continuities EVERYWHERE, bad lighting, inconsistent sound, etc) though surprisingly enough I don't recall ever seeing the boom-mike in frame, so good job there guys! All in all this film really does have a Birdemic feel to it, BUT it's even worse and has an even lower budget. I can say that Suburban Sasquatch does get off to a much faster start, because after all there's murder in the air.
And on the matter of memorable director cameos just forget about Sorcese in Taxi Driver or any of Hitchcock's trademark pop-ins, this film has the absolute best one AND at the same time we also get one of the best reaction shots ever "Dave...".
So wrapping things up Suburban Sasquatch is bad on all counts, BUT it also has many moments of purely nonsensical fun. But I warn you to only watch it once - your brain will thank you for that later on.
Very, very, few movies are worse than Suburban Sasquatch and on that note - Sasquatch Nipples over and out!

One of the greatest nights I've had in a while was watching this with some friends on Zoom. So hang up some tarp, put on an Arby's uniform and give this a watch. You'll have some good laughs.
Film was made by high schoolers as a class project. F minus. Seriously, was this movie made as a real movie or is someone still snickering about how people really thought this was a real movie?
Let me say this right now and get it out of the way to any other potential filmmakers out there...if you can't put your movie on film, just don't bother! The only films that should be done on video are adult films, that is it! Even they suffer at times due to the fact you see every blemish if you have a HD television. A movie, forget it, it automatically screams bad to the tenth power and I have never seen one that can be classified as good. This film cost 12,000 apparently, that is 12,000 wasted! Do you know how many of us could pay bills with that money, but someone decided to take it and make a film that makes Manos: The Hands of Fate seem totally professional by comparison!
The story has a Sasquatch going crazy and killing people left and right. An Indian girl is tasked with killing it and for some reason a cop calls this reporter to come look at the crime scene while a fatter cop does not want the reporter snooping. Fat cop apparently ran afoul of this beast before, but forget that backstory as it really does not play out in any sort of way, but budding romance between chubby, pale and balding dude and very attractive girl playing Indian does!
The film is listed here as a comedy, but I found nothing remotely humorous about it. Just people doing stuff that they find funny and thinking others will too, like a class clown making fart noises and thinking he is a laugh riot and continuing to do it because one or two of his friends are laughing. The gore usually consists of computer blood, and if you are a low budget film and don't use practical blood effects another strike against you. There is nothing redeeming about this film except for the attractive 'Indian' girl!
So, if you have 12,000 to burn, put down a down payment on a house, donate to charity or heck, make an adult film; however, do not make a movie of any other kind shot with a video recorder. If you can do it on film, go for it, but not this, never this! Once again, it just seems like a film where they did intend it to be an adult film, but all the girls except one quit when they saw who they had to sleep with so they decided to make a film last minute so they could at least keep the 'Indian' girl. The film takes itself deadly serious too, they did a Rifftrax of it and to me it was weak because this is just too bad to even make fun off...

If you go into this movie thinking it's going to be a well polished movie with a good story...you'll be let down. But if you like cult classics like "The Room" or "Ben & Arthur" then you'll enjoy this movie from start to finish. I was on the edge of my seat wondering how ridiculous it could get or what low budget trope would they over do in the next scene. Everything from the directing, camera work and costume design are enjoyable to watch because it's unpredictable in the best way.
It's a low budget movie that took itself so serious that it's a blast to watch!

Why do low budget Bigfoot movies always have a man in a cheap gorilla costume? Why not just tweak a few things in the script and make it a movie about a serial killer that wears a gorilla suit? Anyhow, I'm not sure if this was made as a joke or if it is a genuinely terrible movie created and acted by incompetent people.
This film is so funny. You will laugh at this film, no doubt.
The acting is terrible, the sound is lousy and the special effects - Holly crap..
You really need to make an effort to see this film. You have to see it to believe it. You will be entertained!
This is 1 hour and 39 minutes of pure funny film making.
Until now, it has been reported 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' by Ed Wood was the worst film ever made. Not anymore! The worst film ever made is now Officially 'Suburban Sasquatch' by Dave Wascavage.
The full feature film can be found for free online on Youtube. Listed under Horror films.
Have fun watching B-Grade films..

I saw this at a bad movie birthday party. I don't even know where it came from. This is flat out amazingly bad. I think they bought someone with a computer and some skillz a bag of weed and then went down to Target and got the rest of the props for the movie.
This seems like it was filmed in people's front yard and like the neighborhood field. The actors seem like they are mostly trying. The story is crazy as hell, Sasquatch can teleport and I think the main character is kinda portrayed in a racially insensitive way. I literally laughed so hard a couple times I cried.
I wanted the hero to be a deranged homeless person living in a tent in the woods and hunting the people of the town believing they were Sasquatch. But alas, they played the teleporting, dimension shifting Sasquatch straight.

Every single element of the production is flawed, incompetent, and ill-conceived. Why, just now, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that in the scene where the journalist is asking his boss to let him do research, outside the window is a day-for-night social gathering in some kind of big housing or athletics development. Really, really strange. It makes the natural light in the scene that immediately follows seem...well, unnatural. But I guess that's just what happens when you decide nobody needs to know how lighting works and press on with your awful movie anyway. If you like bad movies--I mean if you like being confused by odd decisions and rushed productions--this is for you.

Don't believe the ratings!!!!!!!!!! An amazing take on the legendary BIGFOOT mythology.
This is an absolute superb motion picture and a astonishing work of art. It really takes a great look on Mother Nature's method of retaliating against the invasive tendencies of suburban expansion and its toll on the natural environment. This is all I will say as I do not want to spoil this monumental experience. I highly recommend contacting local theatres to view this masterpiece in ULTRA AVX 3D.
Which this absolute trash and total waste of time, would certainly deserve. Not only does this have some of the worst (and I hate to use this word) ACTING ever put on tape (yes it was done with a video recorder, not film) the most tepid pacing in film history (even the CREEPING TERROR, universally hailed as one of the worst movies ever made is better). Add in the ABSOLUTE WORST, MOST HORRIBLE, USELESS Bigfoot costume ever committed to celluloid, as well as the worst SFX ever put on tape, a director who must have been asleep at the wheel... and you get this worthless piece of garbage. Films like this are why IMDB really needs to break down and give us a zero rating. Every copy of this should be put in a rocket and fired into the sun.
There is a reason why I love these kinds of bad movies. While it is terrible in every aspect of film making, it's at least done with sincerity. I've said this many times with bad films, if the director is nuts and truly believes he is making art, the badness has a legitimacy to it. It's just infinitely more entertaining when the filmmakers truly believe. Of course some people doubt the sincerity, but this movie was made well before the era of bad movie appreciation.
There is not much to say about this. I mean, I do wish they had more instances of people getting their limbs ripped off. I mean, those are truly the best parts in this ridiculous farce. Beyond that, what else is there?

Suburban Sasquatch is one of those movies that is so cheesy and stupid that you doubt whether the creators meant for it to be taken seriously or not. Actually, director Dave Wascavage has said in an interview that Suburban Sasquatch really wasn't meant to be taken all that serious. Sure some scenes were meant to be serious, but the director knows it's a B-movie, and just has fun with it.
This one has all the usual SOV problems, questionable acting, dialog that, while not bad most of the time, occasionally ventures into downright terrible (check the scene where the news editor must have said the word "sell" at least 20 times), cheap special effects, continuity errors, etc. If you can get past all that, you should have a lot of fun with this one.
Hapless victims stand there and scream for their lives as Bigfoot tears them apart piece by piece. Bigfoot himself gets shot countless times, he bleeds profusely, but is never hurt. For those of you studying Bigfoot, the legend is true, the blood of Bigfoot is made of terrible CGI. In one scene, the main girl is getting ready to shoot him with a bow-and-arrow, and Bigfoot leaves himself wide open, spreading his arms wide as if to say "shoot me, go ahead, I don't mind". In another scene, Bigfoot tears up a girl, an arm and some blood go flying, then in the next shot the arm is right back on her, completely unharmed.
There is also a good amount of gore, that ranges from some good prosthetic effects to laughably bad CGI.
While maybe a bit long (this one lasts about 100 minutes), it really didn't bother me all that much because I had a pretty good time with this one.
Suggested MPAA: R for violence and gore

I thought this was a blast! No it's not a major Hollywood movie - its a fun film made with people who are clearly doing their best and having a great time doing it! I enjoyed watching a home made bigfoot costume and enjoying the homages to 70s horror films. Lots of site gags and hysterical scenes (someone gets knocked into a river and i wont say how but it is great). Throw that in with a really hot looking female lead who does a great job, and the lead guy is really believable. The cops are a great matched pair and i just thought the campiness was through the roof. This is a movie for people who want to have fun. If you like this, check out Fungicide (also by Troubled Moon Films), and other films in this genre include Monsturd, Evil Dead, etc....
