If you're a fan of found footage films and cryptids, then I've got a treat for you. I recently stumbled upon a video from the YouTube channel Now Watch This Pod, where the host does a watch along of the 2014 film "Exists" directed by Eduardo Sanchez, who also co-directed the groundbreaking "Blair Witch Project."
The film is a found footage movie that revolves around the idea that there are 3,000 Bigfoot sightings reported every year. The host of the video mentions that he finds it interesting that the movie is based and filmed in Texas, a state not typically associated with Bigfoot sightings. However, the host notes that he has heard stories of Bigfoot sightings in East Texas and has even traveled to some of the areas where these sightings have been reported.
The movie follows a group of friends who are heading to their uncle's cabin in the East Texas woods for a camping trip. Along the way, they hit something on the side of the road, and the video footage captures a classic Bigfoot stance. Once they arrive at the cabin, they discover that it's not in the best shape, and there's a log blocking their way on the dirt road leading to the cabin. Despite their reservations, they decide to walk through the woods in the dark to get to the cabin.
The host of the video provides some interesting commentary throughout the film, sharing his thoughts on the found footage genre and his love for creature features. He also shares some of his favorite Bigfoot stories and encourages viewers to check out other Bigfoot-related content on YouTube.
Overall, "Exists" is an entertaining and suspenseful film that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you're a fan of found footage movies or just looking for something different, I highly recommend checking out this video and the film "Exists."
