Deserves recognition for it's effort. Bigfoot with an attitude!

Warning: Spoilers
"Night Of The Demon" is the lowest budget you can get. The gore is CHEAP, the music is plain terrible, the acting is beyond amateurish, and the direction is primitive. Still, the movie is entertaining and has a creepy atmosphere. Bigfoot was never this raw!

Before "The Blair Witch Project" came with the idea of "original footage", "Cannibal Holocaust" and "Night Of The Demon" used the same idea but with minimal budget.

This movie doesn't especulate and goes directly to the point: violent death scenes. Bigfoot is very mad and has a really bad attitude; he slashes every possible victim in the most savage manners. The opening sequence (after the Professor's testimony) shows an unhappy camper that gets his arm ripped off. Expect lots of gust, blood, stabbings, a head crushed, a man stabbed with a broken window, a scene where a couple after having sex is killed off screen (HORRIBLE acting by the woman by the way), and my favorite, a biker getting castrated. Bigfoot knew where to make damage for sure.

The plot is quite good in my opinion. The eerie atmosphere is provided by cheap music and some really creepy scenarios mainly in the woods. The testimony way of telling the story is good and does not leaves anything for the imagination. In my opinion, the highlight of the movie is the final Bigfoot massacre where he enters the cabin and slaughters every single person there. The professor survives by miracle as his face was burned completely. Great scene! a classic in the slasher genre.

Give this movie a try because it has something that modern Horror movies do not have : a heart. I mean; the producers, director, and actors try to create a scary, serious Horror movie. There is a lot of gore, violence, and creepy settings. What else can you ask for? The effort is good and the final result is a little, creepy slasher flick.
