Review – The Untold

This should indeed have gone untold. Lance Henriksen picks up a paycheck for playing a millionaire who hires an eclectic expedition to search the backwoods for a crashed plane and his missing daughter (three months after the plane went down, no less). Naturally they soon find themselves menaced by an exceptionally pissed off Bigfoot. The acting is lackluster, the script ridiculous and the story implausible at best. The picture also gives up a star for the brutal, unnecessary killing of a bear. But the real idiot prize winner here has to be the editing. At first I thought maybe it was odd because it had been butchered for broadcast. But no, it swiftly became apparent that it had been deliberately put together in a manner so awkward that it looks as if it were assembled by someone who had never seen a movie before and tried running the bench with his elbows. Wish I’d skipped it
