SPEAKER_03 0:58

Hey ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another massive episode of Film Squatch, featuring yours truly, Kim Ofonteau. And with me, as always, the dashing, the daring, the most handsome man in Port Arthur, Texas. Patrick Bennett. How are you doing, Patrick? Doing good, crazy Cajun. You owe me 10 bucks. 10 bucks? I said you were handsome. But we said five, man.

SPEAKER_04 1:25

You're going to give me for 10. All right. Right.

SPEAKER_03 1:29

Man, tonight we have uh a family affair going on with our uh the film we're reviewing tonight. A film from the Wright family, W-R-I-G-H-T. It's called Bigfoot Blood on the Farm. It came out in 2025. And uh like I said, this is a family affair. Um, it's the mom, the dad, the daughters, yeah, I love it, and the Bigfoot. Yeah, it it it it reminds me a lot of the uh the Dorfman brothers. Yeah, yeah. You know, there that's an that's another family that's making films together.

SPEAKER_00 2:13

The two strong girls. And if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be leaving the farm in your hands. Authorities are reporting multiple sightings of a large unidentifiable creature in the region.

SPEAKER_04 3:17

Like you were saying, man, the right family, every one of them's got a credit or or or more than one. Most of them have like two or three credits in here. You know, they they they wrote it, directed it, produced it, starred in it, did the editing, did you know, wore the costumes, did the effects, everything. Just a whole family affair.

SPEAKER_03 3:38

Yeah, it was uh directed by Ashley Hayes, right? It was written by her and David Owen Wright, and then it stars David and Jaina and Scout Wright, two sisters, real life sisters, and uh and then Bigfoot, the creature, is portrayed by Cadence Wright. So yeah, it's a family affair. And uh I I I enjoyed this this movie, Patrick. Um it had some obvious limitations, you know, for budget. Sure. I I noticed I I noticed that. I mean, that's pretty obvious, but I still enjoyed it. This despite the limitations, I enjoyed it. Yeah, me too. Um it's a fun movie. And uh let's see. Let's jump into it. What do you want to discuss first?

SPEAKER_04 4:29

Yeah, let's talk about the acting. Um, I mean, for for what it was, I thought it was okay. I mean, the girls, you know, they did a pretty good job. I mean, uh, I'm not gonna say which which I'm talking about, but I thought one of the sisters did a much better job than the other one, but they were both uh okay. You know, it wasn't anything that you would cringe at and not be able to watch it. I think it was very watchable, right? Same same thing with the other actor, and it uh it was very watchable to me. It wasn't something that was just like you don't want to watch it because it's the acting so bad, you know. I thought they did okay.

SPEAKER_03 5:07

Yeah. Uh you could tell they were, I mean, they're they're learning. Both of the sisters are are learning their craft, and they're and most importantly, they're practicing their craft. You know, they're actually getting out there and making movies. And uh, I don't know many people their age who can say that they've made multiple films already, because they made more than just this film, and um they were also involved with the music as well. They wrote the original songs in this, so it uh yeah, the acting was was good. It was it was it was good enough. I'll say it like that. Good enough for what it was. It was good enough. Yeah, it was good enough. I I didn't get bored while watching it. Um, I do agree with you that um I think one of the sisters did slightly better than the other. Um and I'm and like you, I'm not gonna go into any uh names or anything. Uh because they both did a good job. I just thought one hand the other. I will say this though, I think both of them did a better job than the father in the movie. Uh you know, he he did a good job as well, but I think these young ladies have a you know a good a bright future ahead for both of them. And uh yeah. So and then the let's see, what can we do go into next? Cinematography. Let's talk about it. I thought the action was okay. When we talk about cinematography, you want to talk about action? Go ahead. They kept it basic. They mean I thought it was.

SPEAKER_04 6:41

Yeah, I thought it was pretty well made for a yeah, for a uh super low budget film, you know.

SPEAKER_03 6:49

Yeah, yeah, they they knew their limitations and they respected the boundaries of those limitations. They didn't try to get too fancy, uh, but they didn't make it look bad. No, kept my they tried their best, they did a good job on that. Now, um but yeah, getting to the action. This was a family film, but there were some pretty intense moments in a family film, you know. I I it kind of surprised me. There are a few uh things that happened during this movie uh that that shocked me for it being a family feature. Um kudos to them though for doing what they did. They they had some great action sequences in here. Um I don't want to ruin anything, but they have a pretty unique way of uh uh catching Bigfoot, I guess you could say. Uh and and uh and watch the entire film because there's more more coming. They they they they throw some some twists and turns in there, but no, the uh the action it gets pretty violent. Um, there's some blood, and uh all most of the violence involves two young girls defending themselves.

SPEAKER_04 8:07

I'll tell you, man, my favorite scene in the whole movie, it's it's one shot. They're in the the girls are in the barn and they're looking for Bigfoot, and all of a sudden that hand comes through the door and it grabs that girl by the neck. Oh, dude, that looks so good, man. That was well done.

SPEAKER_03 8:25

Yeah, that's actually my favorite scene too. And he picked uh too, he picks her up off the ground. You see the feet?

SPEAKER_04 8:32

Yeah, that's actually my favorite scene. Brilliant brilliantly the way it was shot. I liked everything about that.

SPEAKER_03 8:38

Yeah, they uh they they did a great job on that, and uh yeah, I'm I'm right there with you. That's my favorite scene too, is whenever that creature reaches in. I also liked uh how they boarded up the house, and then they they boarded up the uh the barn, and they're out there protecting their animals. And uh I thought that was kind of cool how they actually put the farm ahead of themselves when it came to safety. You know, they they were more concerned about the animals on the farm than they were about themselves, and they also they protected one another, yeah. And uh I I I thought that was really, really good that the sisters had which you'd expect sisters, real life sisters to have good chemistry on screen, and and they definitely had that. So yeah, yeah, that was I'm I'm there right there with you as far as the the um favorite scene goes. That was it. Now the posters for the film, there I saw a few of them. I don't know what the official one was, uh, but I'm gonna assume it was the one on IMDB where it shows the two sisters in the foreground. One's got a gun, one's got a shovel, and then they've got an animated-looking Bigfoot in the background. Um it's pretty good. I mean, it's nothing nothing special, but I thought it was pretty good. A couple of the other ones that I saw had like a Bigfoot, like the face, just one part of the face. It said Bigfoot blood blood on the farm. That was another good one. But uh overall, nothing nothing special about any of the posters, in my opinion. I don't know if you saw those same posters or not. Yeah, yeah, I do.

SPEAKER_04 10:24

I think it fit the film for what it was. Yeah. Yeah. Um what'd you think about the the Bigfoot costume?

SPEAKER_03 10:39

Well, that's where the budget came into play, obviously. Um these were off the rack Bigfoot costumes.

SPEAKER_04 10:47

Yeah, uh I actually have a costume like one of them they used. Uh and so does our friend Ronnie Dancer. He he has one, but he modified his from what it originally looks like. Because uh yeah, I bought it, I bought it to use in a movie, and then after I got it and was looking at it and all that, it just didn't work for what I wanted it for. But I like how they didn't show it as much, you know. They they kind of like just showed the legs and the arm and stuff, and then I think they got to it towards the end, they they showed the costume, but in a distance, you know. But but yeah, I I know Ronnie had to redo his because it just to me it didn't look right. The the costume is just kind of long, weird neck and stuff, the way it it works, but uh has some short legs and long arms and stuff, just uh odd-looking costume. But but for what they used it for, the way they used it, I think they did pretty good with what they had.

SPEAKER_03 11:50

Yeah, and uh, I mean it's it is what it is, you know. They they used what money they had on the suits that they had, and that's what we get. But um the story itself saves the film from being uh you know just a bad movie. It's it's got a great story, uh good acting from the from the cast, and uh I can look past the creatures. I mean, I I can look past them in this this particular uh film. If now, if this were like a Paramount movie or Warner Brothers, yeah, I want Bigfoot to do everything, you know. I I don't it doesn't bother me seeing uh just a regular suit that you could buy on Amazon or go to a costume shop and purchase off the rack. That doesn't bother me seeing that in this kind of movie. Um I think and people should keep that in mind whenever they watch this, that if they they go into it expecting Harry and the Anderson's, you know, you're not gonna get that here. Not as far as the suit's concerned, you're not gonna get that. And is there anything else you wanted to add? Uh I mean talk about the film. Talk about what was there anything else you want to say about the film?

SPEAKER_04 13:08

No, I mean, um for what it was, you know, a low budget film made by a family. I thought it was uh pretty decent. I I really enjoyed it. It really was. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:19

Yeah. I'm looking forward to seeing more from this family.

SPEAKER_04 13:22

Um you know, uh I did see another film of theirs. We'll talk about it on another episode. Uh I forgot the name of it. I think the word grip was in it grip of the monster or grip of the creature, something like that. I remember seeing that one before.

SPEAKER_03 13:39

Y'all have to check that because I I didn't for for this particular episode, I didn't check in any of the other movies they made. I just know that they've made other films.

SPEAKER_04 13:48

That dad plays in that when he plays like a sheriff. I remember seeing him in that. Okay.

SPEAKER_03 13:55

Oh, okay. Here we go. The badge of the Bible and Bigfoot. Does that ring a bell? I remember seeing that, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. They've got quite a few. They've got ice beasts. They've got some other ones here. We'll have to we'll have to check that out. But yeah, we'll we'll hit that on uh another episode. And uh I guess we've come to the point where we rate this film. Now it is over an hour long, so we're not gonna be do uh giving it the short film treatment. Uh although I feel it would work better as a short film than as a feature-length movie. Um But we're it's it's it's longer than an hour, so we're gonna give it the the the big the Bigfoot the full film squatch treatment here. So, as all of our listeners know, on a scale of one to ten, with one being the worst Bigfoot film ever made, and ten being the greatest, which is in my opinion, the legend of Boggy Creek, we rate our films on Bigfoot tracks. And I am going to give Bigfoot Blood on the Farm six Bigfoot tracks out of ten. The reason for that is yes, there are plenty of films out there that have way better production, way better creature effects, uh, better acting, better everything. But this is a family affair. These are two young girls, and they put their heart and soul into this. You can tell that they worked hard on this. Oh, yeah. Their dad was involved, their mother's involved. I mean, they they did a really good job, and there's they they can only go up from here, you know, with with each film that they make. And I expect big things out of them, even if it may not end up being Bigfoot movies. I expect to see them do bigger and better things as they grow in their craft because uh these young ladies they set the bar high for themselves with a film like this. Uh, I think it's a really, really good independent film, and I'm gonna give it six out of ten Bigfoot tracks. Patrick, how about you?

SPEAKER_04 16:06

Yeah, I wasn't expecting uh much from this film going into it, but uh, but I was quickly impressed at uh how well it was made. Uh the filming and editing was incredible for a no-budget family film, you know. And um I mean the family was involved in the entire production, like we were talking about from script to screen. They wrote it, produced it, directed it, uh, just everything. Acted in it, did the music, did the editing, um, and even played the creature. I mean, uh, what an amazing feat. You know, I commend them on every bit of it. And uh, I'm actually going to give this one a uh five, five Bigfoot tracks for me. Uh I think it's worth watching. I think anyone who is aspiring to make their own Bigfoot film should watch this and learn from it. I think this is a good starting point. So, yeah, definitely it's worth watching and uh learning from. And I think you'll be entertained. It's surprisingly good.

SPEAKER_03 17:06

Yeah, I totally agree with you there, man. Um, so yeah, folks, be sure to check out the Wright family. Look at you know, go check them out on YouTube, they have a YouTube channel there, and watch all their films on there that they they're they're offering. Uh, be sure to check out Bigfoot Blood on the Farm. Um, and leave them a comment or something, encourage them because you know, these these young ladies did great jobs at the age at their age. Yeah, they did some awesome work here. And I think I would have got uh independent artists like that. I would have got John Cougar to sing the the Blood on the Farm uh theme song for him. That's what I thought of uh Blood on the Scarecrow. That's the that's what I thought of whenever I saw the title for this film. I guess that shows how old I am, but uh yeah, that's the first thing that top that popped into my head, and I was hoping it was like a farm in Nebraska, you know, or Kansas. But uh no, I I was I was pleasantly surprised by this film. These this family did a great job. They did a really, really good job. Um and a lot of what they did. But uh, that's all we have for this particular film, unless you've got something else to add about it, Patrick. No, that's yeah, man.

SPEAKER_04 18:25

Um we're definitely gonna be talking about the Wright family some more on our episodes. Definitely.

SPEAKER_03 18:32

Oh, yeah, oh yeah, absolutely. And uh, do you have any information for us, Patrick? Maybe about um uh Tata Modi or anything.

SPEAKER_04 18:42

Okay, our our short film, Tatae Modi. Um it's getting close, man. We're still still editing away on it, and we're still waiting on the music for it, which is being written by our composer in New Orleans. But uh I think another solid month of uh editing it and getting all the sound effects and the music and all that, I think it's gonna be ready uh pretty quick.

SPEAKER_03 19:10

That's all I have, Patrick. Um so uh I know you know I want you to before we leave, I want you to think back to your childhood when you were a young girl in South Louisiana and you were playing in the woods on your on the family farm with your your your sister, uh y'all were frolicking in the woods, probably playing with Barbies. I know you. So uh when you were out there, did you ever get the feeling that something was watching you, something that was was terrible and watching you? And uh, if if so, what did you what what advice would you give anyone? What did you learn from that experience as a young girl growing up in South Louisiana?

SPEAKER_04 19:47

I would say next time you're bebopping across the farm and you got that Ferra Fawcett Barbie in your hand and you feel like something's watching you, you better watch your back. Bigfoot's out there.
