DVD Review: Bigfoot in the Big Easy
Summary: 2 Stars
"The Legend of the Honey Island Swamp Monster" is an extremely low-budget bigfoot pseudo-documentary made by Dana Holyfield, granddaughter of the late Harland Ford, whose 1963 Louisiana swamp bigfoot footage inspired the project. While she is doubtlessly sincere in this project, the final product is highly unlikely to convert skeptics. The bulk of the DVD is interviews of locals and of a gentleman who is an author and "authority in the field of alternative knowledge", whatever that means. The remainder of the DVD is a nighttime trek through the swamps where there has been a Honey Island Swamp Monster sighting. There are lots of dogs barking, some unidentified sounds, a tailgate party gone awry, and an intense search for the creature...but it got away.
The best footage in the DVD is from one of Harlan Ford's early 1970's color film reels which purports to show the monster, though it is behind a lot of foliage and appears extremely briefly just before he ran out of film. The worst aspects of the DVD are the general quality of the interviews, and the accompanying terrible audio quality, which makes hearing and understanding the native's testimonials very difficult. I realize, also, that the film was made on a small budget, but when faced with a miniscule budget, it's generally best not to have original bigfoot-themed music added to the soundtrack. The re-enactment footage at the opening of the film is also quite entertaining for all the wrong reasons.
I am giving this DVD two stars. It is not of very high quality, and I seriously doubt many will be convinced by the presentation, but I do appreciate Dana Holyfield undertaking an independent film production. Although it's amateurish, she actually decided to make a movie about something she found compelling, did her very best, and made it happen. You have to admire tenaciousness, and in that regard bigfoot skeptics and believers alike owe her a thank you.
