    Would've made an interesting short.
    Four wandering sasquatch traipse through backwoods America. They encounter signs of humanity, but no actual humans.

    They forage for food. They have sex. They perform a summoning ritual by banging on tree-trunks. They communicate in grunts and gestures. The seasons turn.

    And that's it. I think the final scene is supposed to be a joke, but by then the viewers' patience has been sorely tried, and the joke falls flat.

    The scenery is interesting, the cinematography is good, and the make-up might be awards-worthy; but this is nowhere near enough to justify a run-time of an hour and a half. A fifteen minute short would've been much more fitting.

    Quest for Dumb and Dumber Sasquatch
    This is one of those films that you have to go in and really be ready for one of the most primal, dumb and dumber renditions of a very water down version of quest for fire, which was a superb movie, but unfortunately, this one ends up being some pseudo fairytale of mostly watching some Sasquatch playing with themselves and acting dumb and dumber each moment of the film progresses to the point that you just start to wonder why are they even making this film

    Once you waddle beyond suspension of belief it sort of of entertaining if you're in for some bizarre sh-t and giggles yet overall the cinematography is fantastic but the believability is not plausible And unfortunately not much really happens to make it really thought-provoking, and then it gets into the 3rd act which is total absurdity towards the end when you realize what the concept is.

    Kudos for even attempting to make a film like this, which must've been quite an extravaganza, getting dressed up to create these characters, yet unlike quest for fire that was a phenomenal story and film- this comes across as Quest for dumb and dumber writing that just is an insult to the Sasquatch. The only part missing is the what if factor but that wears thin quickly

    Four stars for make up and grunting.
