Don't let the title fool you, "SASQUATCH" is actually an entertaining and worthwhile film.  Lance Henriksen stars as Harlan Knowles, the rich president of Bio-Comp Industries. When a company plane carrying his daughter, becomes missing deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, he decides to lead a search party. As the search begins, the other participants begin to wonder about Knowles' real agenda. While he's obsessed with finding the plane, his interest in the mysterious cargo appears to be what he's most concerned about. When the team stumbles upon some of the scattered wreckage, they also find a DNA testing device, and uncover that the machine has detected DNA belonging to a "Sasquatch," a mysterious beast, rumored to exist and capable of super-human strength.  While the film's plot suggests a low budget film, the filmmakers have crafted an effective thriller.  Will the "SASQUATCH" kill the search team one by one? Will Knowles daughter be found alive? These questions actually generate enough suspense to keep the film moving, and although the special effects are limited by the film's modest budget, they're still decent enough to add to the film's overall effectiveness.

COLUMBIA TRISTAR has preserved the film's 1.85:1 aspect ratio, with 16:9 enhancement.  It's a great transfer!  Colors are solid, and there's not even a shred of grain. Contrast is excellent, with deep blacks and grays, presenting great clarity in darker scenes. Fleshtones appear natural throughout. 

COLUMBIA TRISTAR has presented a Dolby Digital 5.1 mix. While not really aggressive, there are a fair share of directional effects, and enough ambient effects to enhance the film's "lost in the great, dark forest" atmosphere. Dialogue is always intelligible and free from distortion. 

An audio commentary has been included with the film's director, producer and some of the stars. Unfortunately, Henriksen isn't on board here, but the group offers the kind of technical insight aspiring filmmakers will benefit from.

The film's trailer is also included.  "SASQUATCH" is no "PREDATOR," but it's well worth at least renting, and then deciding if it's worth adding to the collection. In our opinion, it's a keeper.
