Bigfoot Terror: Praised Practical Effects in 'Exists' - Review

In a recent video from the Paranormal Operator YouTube channel, host Adam Operator 23 gives his review of the 2014 found footage horror film, "Exists." The movie, directed by Eduardo Sanchez and featuring actors such as Dora Madison Burge, Chris Osborne, Samuel Davis, Roger Edwards, and Denise Williamson, tells the story of a group of friends who encounter a mysterious creature while camping in the woods. According to the Amazon page, the synopsis of the film is: "A camping trip becomes a blood-soaked nightmare as five friends are terrorized by a mysterious creature seeking vengeance." Adam Operator 23 gives the movie a rating of 6.5 to 7, praising the editing, practical effects, and the fact that the characters are not overly stupid as is often the case in horror films. One interesting aspect of the film is that it centers around the idea of Bigfoot, a creature that has been the subject of many legends and sightings for decades. The opening scene of the movie includes text that states: "Since 1967, there have been over 3,000 Bigfoot encounters in the U.S alone. Experts agree the creatures are only violent if provoked." This statement alone is enough to pique the interest of any Bigfoot enthusiast. The film does a good job of creating a believable environment and situations that the characters find themselves in. The first scene shows the friends hitting something with their car, and upon reviewing the footage from a GoPro camera, they realize that it was probably a Bigfoot. As the story unfolds, the group encounters downed trees, strange noises, and a general feeling of being watched. It's worth noting that the film does not portray Bigfoot as an animal or beast, but rather as a mysterious creature that is seeking vengeance. This is an important distinction, as it shows respect for the creature and the legends surrounding it. In addition to the Bigfoot connection, the video also touches on the topic of fireworks. Adam Operator 23 mentions that the group stops at a roadside fireworks stand, and that this setup is a common technique in Hollywood to create a payoff later in the film. This is a small but interesting bit of information that adds to the overall enjoyment of the video. In conclusion, the Paranormal Operator's review of "Exists" is a must-watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast or anyone interested in the paranormal. The film does a good job of creating a believable and suspenseful story, and the Bigfoot connection is an added bonus.
