Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot (1976) - Ed Ragozzino.

Take a warmly fuzzy nostalgic trip deep into Sasquatch country, Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot remains highly regarded amongst the Yeti cognoscenti, and most definitely gets my personal stamp of approval. For me, this picturesque mockumentary milestone is a breathtaking feet of ingenious 70s cryptid cinematography. Frequently imitated, often satirised, but never once bettered, Ed Ragozzino's epic off-grid adventure Sasquatch The Legend of Bigfoot remains an utterly essential late-night Sasquatch! Happily, the prodigious entertainment quotient of this folksy, nature-lovin' Drive-In classic proves far less elusive than the forest-dwelling, frustratingly camera-shy backwoods behemoth himself. The appealing admixture of homespun humour, spectacular scenery, merry myth making and mother nature's ornery critters remains compelling. Observed through overly critical eyes Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot might appear contrived, yet I sincerely believe it to be an upbeat, gloriously goofy, wonderfully warm-hearted example of earnestly made exploitation cinema. Captured on film, shot on location, and the adult protagonists lend an authenticity to Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot entirely lacking in the cheapnis, artlessly CGI'd creature features of today.
