Bigfoot strikes in this Exists clip

Bigfoot is a hot cinematic commodity these days, especially in the realm of found-footage horror. I just checked out Bobcat Goldthwait 's effort Willow Creek (read the review here ) and eagerly await  Eduardo Sanchez 's spin on the sasquatch legend Exists. Exists doesn't hit until next month. In the meantime, our bros over at Arrow in the Head have dug up an exclusive clip, and it's pretty slick. Check it:

Jason versus Willow Creek

Bobcat Goldthwait isn't a name most Basementites associate with horror, so it came as quite a surprise when the former shock comedian turned his directorial interests to a found-footage movie about Bigfoot . Shakes the Clown and World's Greatest Dad , sure. But a horror movie about Bigfoot? Stick with me! A couple interested in Sasquatch lore head into the wilderness where the infamous Patterson- Gimlin footage was shot, with terrifying results.

Trailer for Eduardo Sanchez's Exists delivers

We in The Basement have been pumped for Blair Witch Project director Eduardo Sanchez 's bigfoot flick Exists since it wowed audiences at SXSW earlier this year. Yeah, it's found footage , but Sanchez pretty much invented the genre, so he knows his shit . The flick has been picked up by Lionsgate , and those fine purveyors of genre cinema have seen fit to release a trailer, which we've snagged and posted for you below.

Spotlight on Hillbilly Horror Show Ep. 3

I'm an unashamed fan of Blu de Goyler's comedic horror anthology Hillbilly Horror Show. The Internet series debuted earlier this year and has cranked out three episodes thus far, the third of which recently landed online. Sadly, it took me a few weeks to catch up with the latest adventures of Bo (Bo Keister), Cephus (Scott Geiter) and kissing cousin Lulu (Rachel Faulkner) as they endure another round of independent horror shorts.

Lionsgate picks up Eduardo Sanchez Bigfoot flick Exists

A couple of weeks back we told you  Eduardo Sanchez , co-director of The Blair Witch Project , had a new flick screening at SXSW , and that it's about the legendary Bigfoot . Now we've heard the good word that Lionsgate has picked up the found-footage monster movie Exists for North American distribution.

Jason versus V/H/S 2

The original V/H/S was a flawed but entertaining piece of work that I thought would be the final nail in the coffin for the found-footage genre. Surprise! It wasn't. In fact, they made a second one. And I watched it. Does it surpass the first? Stick with me. Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his house and find a collection of VHS tapes . Viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be dark motives behind the student's disappearance.

Blair Witch Project co-director brings Bigfoot to SXSW

Eduardo Rodriguez is no stranger to the found-footage genre. Hell, he and Daniel Myrick pretty much invented it with The Blair Witch Project back in 1999. Now Rodriguez is at it again with the upcoming flick Exists. Exists isn't just another Paranormal Activity or haunted-house movie though, it's a Sasquatch movie. Sure, the last found-footage Bigfoot film was The Lost Coast Tapes, but I still believe some good can come of the combination.

Jason and Shawn versus The Collection and The Frankenstein Theory

The Collection Shawn: Talk about GORNOPOLIS! Ha ha . Just when I think I needed it the most. Sure, The Collector , (prequel), isn't even worth the memory of my watch, but don't let that stop you from seeing this.This was put together well. Like the Saw movies , it had satisfying gore. Dug it. Everything looked good, semi real, and just seemed to hit me at the right time. It scored there, then it produced an ending, satisfying my every movie watching need. At the time. Good. Jason: What shocks me most about The Collection is how such a good sequel can be born from what was, ultimately, just an OK first film. The Collection is one of the most bad to the ass horror sequels I've seen in a long, long time. I'm beginning to think that the best horror films are no longer than 80 minutes. This is a tight, exciting and, at times, cringe-inducing flick. I dig that shit. But what's most awesome about Marcus Dunstan 's sequel is the ending. Finally, we g...
