This movie was okay and had it's moments. But as a person who has actually had an encounter with this creature they failed on many of true nature of the beast.First off the Bigfoot scream, they failed big time on that one as well as saying at the start that Bigfoot is not docile. My encounter was just the opposite and totally unprovoked. Plus the reason there is no stories of Bigfoot attacking anyone is because do you really think the one being attacked would survive the onslaught of a 9-10 foot beast? It is an animal and not tamed or domesticated.But I digress. The movie was like I said okay but not any where near believable.

5 friends go on a hike but encounter more than they bargained for as they meet up with a Bigfoot like creature. This had the potential to be better than it was. Unfortunately the characters are not particularly likable or memorable and so I found my mind wandering as the film progressed. Although it has some good periods they are interspersed with periods that I found downright boring and so the film didn't flow properly. For a low budget feature the special effects were pretty good and to be fair there are some really good tense scenes which stopped this being a total write-off. For me the final half hour was far more gripping than the first half so it's definitely a film that you need to persevere with to get any pay off. This isn't a bad film but it's not great either. If you're a fan of this genre and have a forgiving nature then you should find this sporadically enjoyable.

Exists is a good example for found footage done right. It isn't as annoying as i found many of those movies to be, with Evidence and Area 407 being some of the worst i've seen. The characters act understandable most of the time. They mostly try to survive and don't try to be the hero. The most important part for me though, is that there really aren't any obnoxious characters, shouting the whole movie just crap, like in my 2 examples. Another important point for me is the quality of the visuals and the effects. WETA did a good job with the special effects and everything about it looks really good. And the movie looks great. It's no "we do found footage, because we can't buy a good camera" movie. Sánchez used good cameras and he also clearly liked the work with a GoPro on his segment for V/H/S2.In short: It's a good looking found footage movie about Bigfoot, without super annoying characters. Definitely worth a watch, if you'd ask me.

Dora (Dora Madison Burge), Matt (Samuel Davis), Todd (Roger Edwards), Brian (Chris Osborn), and Liz (Denise Williamson) travel to an isolated cabin in the woods. They hit something on the road before arriving in their destination. Soon they are hunted down by a Bigfoot. Will they survive to the creature?"Exists" is one of those teen horror movies where the viewer knows what will happen and only guesses who will be the next to die. The story does not have originality and abuses of the clichés associated to an awful camera. The only "originality" is the Bigfoot, instead of a maniac, or a vampire, or an evil spirit, or a monster or whatever. The rest is the same, with characters taking stupid decisions or actions to die, like Todd screaming and shooting in the woods to attract the Bigfoot. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Eles Existem" ("They Exist")
