This movie starts out with an interesting introduction. There are numerous shots of wild animals running away from a Bigfoot as it exits the forest. After that, the narrator gives a brief history of Sasquatch sightings and folklore. One story mentioned is that of the Patterson film and some of the Patterson footage is shown. After that the narrator goes on about various sightings, eye witness accounts and how state of the art technology (which some viewers may find humorous) has shown researchers where to locate bigfoot. This leads up to the assembly of a group of men who will travel into northern British Columbia to find Sasquatch. There objective is to capture a Sasquatch, place a trasmitter on it, and study its lifestyle.

The movie has a few main characters.

Chuck Evans- The fearless leader of this expedition.

Joshua- The wise mountain man who knows the way to the Peckatoe river.

Barney Snipe- The clumsy cook who adds comic relief to this film.

Techa Blackhawk- He is familiar with the long history of the Sasquatch.

Bob Vernon- Big city news-reporter who takes the role as the token sceptic.

Once the men assemble and are ready to begin the long venture to the Peckatoe River, many adventures await them. They come across wolves, badgers, and grizzly bears. Later, one of their horses is attacked by a mountain lion, which is later tracked down and shot by Barney. The men are also told tales of the Sasquatch by Joshua. One of the stories Joshua tells the men are the events which took place near Mount St. Helens in the early 1900's. He tells about the group of Sasquatch that attacked the men's cabin one night with rocks, how the men fired rifles at the creatures, and why Ape Canyon is now called Ape Canyon. Joshua even claims to have heard the story from Fred Beck himself.

The movie did a good job portraying the historic events that took place at Ape Canyon many years back. Later on, Joshua will tell the men the story of Baumann and how his beaver trap buddy was killed by a Sasquatch in Idaho around the 1850's. The film also does a nice job of depicting this historic account.

Once they reach the Peckatoe River, things begin to get weird. It seems that the closer they get to their final destination, the more trouble they run into. The woods get thicker, the dogs become restless, one of the horses nearly sicks to the bottom of a bog, Bob Vernon is attacked by a grizzly, and a forboding feeling sets in among them all.

It isn't long before the men hear strange screams in the night and notice a foul odor in air. The next morning the discover tracks around the camp site. As the men continue forth, these incidents become increasingly more common. When they finally reach their final destination, they find large saplings snapped at 10 foot levels. Techka relizes they are at the "place of three valleys" which has been known for its Sasquatch activity for centuries. Banking on that, the men set up camp and prepare to capture a Sasquatch. Tranquilizer rifles are loaded, tripwire alarm systems are set, and the men are stationed around the perimeter. Now all they have to do is wait.

Night falls in and the men are ready. Soon screams are heard, then the alarms are set off. The men can hear the group of Sasquatch, but nobody can see them until it is too late. A group of Sasquatch infiltrate the camp and attack the researchers.

The next morning the men realize that their dream is over. The Sasquatch had injured a couple of the men and destroyed all of their equipment. It was time to leave.

Although this movie is a bit old, it does a good job telling the viewer about Sasquatch. What the film lacks in dialog, it makes up in wonderful shots of wildlife and landscapes. I also enjoyed the fact that this movie mentions actual events such as Ape Canyon and the Baumann incident. Overall, I would recomend this movie, if you can find it.
