Eyes in the Dark: The Sasquatch Experience offers decent Bigfoot stories accompanied by unreliable recreations of encounters.

This relatively short documentary features accounts of Bigfoot encounters and findings by several dedicated Bigfoot hunters, plus some thoughts from famed cryptozoologist Loren Coleman.

The impetus for the video was producer/director Todd Partain's own encounter with the legendary creature. As a young child, he -- along with his mother and brother -- were terrorized by a large, red-eyed creature who tried to get in their trailer, putting holes in the front steps and damaging the building's exterior. We hear that whole story in the documentary, in the words of Partain himself, along with his parents and his brother.

The Bigfoot researchers interviewed here are not yokels who go around saying "I think there's a squatch in these woods" every time they enter a forest; they are experienced and dedicated men, several of whom have published books on the subject. Unfortunately, some of their stories are accompanied by recreations -- and not very reliable ones.

The recreation of a close-up encounter described by Scott Herriott and his buddy Daryl Owen looks very impressive -- I've seen the original video, however, and I can't really see any sort of creature whatsoever in the footage. As far as I'm concerned, this damages the credibility of this entire documentary.
