"Night Of The Demon" (not to be confused with the "Night Of The Demons" films") is a mega-cheesy kinda-backwoods-slasher with a Bigfoot-like creature that looks a bit like a blend of Chewbacca and Dr. Zaius.
On the one hand it's quite bad: most of the acting is pretty dull, except for Melanie "Crazy Wanda" Graham's performance which is just terribly annoying. The soundtrack is often unbearably bad, the dialogue is mostly rather stupid, Bigfoot looks unintentionally silly, the plot is one helluva mess and there are too many tedious or boring scenes.
On the other hand it's surprisingly unique: I totally love the surreal tone of the movie with all the flashbacks, some cool slow motion scenes and loads of impressively haunting atmosphere. I also love how violent and gory it is: people impaled on branches and pitchforks, people hacked to death, ripped off penisses, ripped out intestines etc. There's also a disturbing but interesting rape sequence and the gorefest finale is just awesome.
Overall, a weird but decently entertaining trashfest.

This is possibly the best of the near dozen or so 'Squatch movies. A legit release is coming soon over here, Maynard.
