I stumbled upon Hoax by accident. Yeah, I'd heard it was coming out, but didn't realize it had. Epic fail on my part... But hey; I did watch it! So there's that. Hoax is set up as a Bigfoot film. Given I'm associate producer on Eric Red's upcoming Sasquatch flick No Man's Ridge, I'm all about keeping up with the subgenera. You know, to see how ours will match up. There's a late third-act twist in Hoax that means Red's flick will be the most bad-ass Bigfoot movie of all time. Up until that twist, it still had nothing to worry about, but Hoax was at least a fun genre offering about a Bigfoot menacing an investigative film crew. Post twist, we got something else entirely. I don't want to give much away, but this twist changes things so much. The tone takes a big shift, and I just wasn't having as much fun anymore. It was a weird move on the part of writer Matt Allen (who also directs) and Scott Park, and almost sinks the movie. Almost....
