I don\u2019t care if you\u2019re independent or big budget, all-star or aspiring actor, first time director or veteran director, comedy is hard, it\u2019s very hard, and more often than not, chances are you\u2019re just not going to ace a comedy film. \u201cSuburban Sasquatch\u201d misses the target in every conceivable manner, because it\u2019s never coherent or fluid. It never follows a coherent storyline, and even the worst of horror comedies make sense. Not a lick of what\u2019s here makes the slightest bit of sense. \u201cSuburban Sasquatch\u201d really has a lot going for it, but never delivers in what it promises. The dialogue is inaudible, the characters are boring, and the plot rarely ever holds together.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, the sasquatch is a machination of Native American lore, and sometimes it just migrated, sometimes it\u2019s in the forest, and sometimes it\u2019s in the suburbs, the local reporter is on the case, is called to a crime scene (you have to find amusement in crime scenes that only have the same two cops over and over again even though the murders become more gruesome), then is grilled for being there, and then is shooed away, but then when reporting about two murders, one of which was a mutilation, his editor explains \u201cWhen you bring me a real story, I\u2019ll print it.\u201d Well if a man having his arms torn off in a small town isn\u2019t a real story, then I\u2019m frightened to think what\u2019s considered printable. The modest budget was taken very much into consideration, but there have been many monster movies with low budgets that managed to give us something redeeming whether in characters or gore.<\/p>\n
While sasquatch roams around picking people off, an Indian chief enlists the aid of his young sexy female apprentice whose mission is to track down the beast and kill him once and for all with her bow and arrow, but if the cause of this sasquatch\u2019s murders are the developments of new homes in the forrest, wouldn\u2019t the chief be more determined to explain why rather than murder it? But I never really begrudged the director for failing to explain this to us, because rather he just goes for comedy when the plot becomes non-existent. And while I could appreciate the comedic attempts at a man screaming holding his dog\u2019s head while the sasquatch stands over him tearing the animal to pieces, and Mini Haha running around trying to shoot the beast down with arrows in her moccasins, \u201cSuburban Sasquatch\u201d just didn\u2019t click. It\u2019s surely a well-intentioned film with obvious attempts at comedy being given to us throughout the course of the story, but the potential doesn\u2019t save the fact that it\u2019s woefully unfunny, and really lacks any coherency or interesting story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
