Review of Hoax

I'm not expecting much from B-and C grade horror and was looking forward to seeing Ben Browder. I actually thought the outdoor pans and shots were quite beautiful and I though some of that might rub off on the rest of the film. I'm really not a fan of outdoor or Big Foot horror but the two could mesh well. However the change to torture horror (I'm not a fan of it) and escape from that genre/threat horror was a jarring thematic shift that really did not need to be done and added little to the film because one of the killers was revealed minutes earlier. It just made the film wacky D class and shoddy as the mix of used technologies, motives, and introduced questions just added uninteresting weigh to a movie near it's end. I'm so sure people thought this would be interesting different and make the film unique and it did confuse me but it made a hardly tolerable film (it got more difficult to watch as it because more unbelievable) just nonsensical. In short, the pre-ending was all over the place and really detracted from the film. And I'm not convinced that some and not all humans were threatening to the creatures as they seemed to target two groups who came to visit. I'd figure any human could attach more and thus any human was a threat so the residents would have gotten the business also. And the full monster reveal at the end was just a pitiful case of bad effects, better to have left a reveal of a hand or fist with such a poor looking creature. I really cannot recommend this movie, even for fun or for Ben Browder fans. The last 15 minutes cheapens and confuses the film's intent.
