It would be a better film if they had streamlined everything into what worked. They were trying to add more to the story than just surviving the monster in the woods. I understood what they were trying to do. That witch character though was straight out of a cartoon and really out of place in this movie. The actors playing the native Americans fared a bit better but still suffered with dialogue that was forced and robotic from them. I thought the actor who played Max was really one note and nothing felt genuine with him. Like being hunted by Bigfoot Voorhees wasn't enough. They run across a large group of hunters with rapey tendencies and they lose their clothes along the way(The main characters that is) in a vain attempt to draw out some vulnerability. It does draw you in a bit but it takes too long to get to the point where the Oh-Mah is hunting them. This movie felt like a hodge podge of elements thrown in there to maximumize the one chance this filmmaker might have to make a movie. But finally I found it and got the chance to watch and what I got was Bigfoot Predator with the witch from Sleepy Hollow thrown in for good measure to add some mystical qualities to the narrative. This one though was a very odd what the hell so naturally I set about trying to track it down, trying to track down any reviews for it. How does that even work exactly? I understand when they did it with Rob Zombie's 31 and Kevin Smith's Yoga Hosers, both terrible movies with some good qualities. I always find that fascinating when Fathom Events does this with movies that no one has heard of and there are no trailers for it. This played for one night only in theatres as a Fathom Event. This brings us to the movie Primal Rage: The Legend of Oh-Mah or Primal Rage: Bigfoot reborn. You can say you enjoy the film without justifying it's place in the pantheon of movie placement.
You don't have to use this phrase to describe a middle of the road but enjoyable movie. I had to take a bit of a break to recharge my batteries to bring more thoughts on movies that doesn't include the phrase it wasn't the best movie but it wasn't the worst in every single review. Directed by Patrick Magee and written by Jay Lee and Patrick Magee It has been a while since my last review.
