A new Bigfoot-themed horror film is in the works, and it promises to delve deeper into the mythology and lore surrounding the elusive creature. The film, titled "Slash Squatch," is being directed by Aaron Bratcher, who is known for his work on the comedy horror film "Showdown in Yester Year." In a recent interview on the Group Therapy PodCast, Bratcher discussed his plans for the film and how it will differ from other Bigfoot-themed movies. According to Bratcher, "Slash Squatch" will not just be a "slashing movie" where people are picked off one by one in the woods. Instead, it will be a character study of a small town facing a big threat, with the Bigfoot creature serving as a metaphor for existentialism and faith. Bratcher also revealed that he has spent a year doing research on the Northwest Native American tribe Yaka, and has incorporated elements of their Bigfoot mythology into the film. He described the Bigfoot as a "transdimensional being" with abilities beyond those of a typical animal. I am excited to see how "Slash Squatch" will approach the subject matter. The fact that Bratcher is taking the time to research and incorporate the lore and mythology of the creature into the film is promising, and I am looking forward to seeing how it all comes together.
