HOAX is a horror film that takes a lot of unexpected twists and turns, making for some exciting moments. Yet, at times, the film suffers from inconsistent tone. Go to Full Review

John W @RT18279564 Sep 28 Silly and bad story with some bad actors. The whole film was also edited in a strange way, and some scenes didn't fit in at all. I will never watch it again, but the reason I didn't find it completely disastrous is that it is a bit scary, and the camera work also seemed to be of rather high quality.

See more Cristian s @cristiansj 04/10/2023 Mala, quiso ser muchas cosas y termino no siendo nada. Actuaciones decentes, efectos baratos e historia inexistente. Si alguien mira los primeros 10 minutos y salta a los últimos 20 le entiende perfectamente, ahorrándose una hora de película. See more 05/23/2020 Acting was decent. Directing good. The story? Since Stay at Home I've watched about every Sasquatch B-movie out there. This is very ordinary. Bunch of people in the woods. Typical types, the braun, the greedy, a couple of sensible people, and a hysterical stuck up and conceited "influencer". Not to mention the ever so overused scene where someone's pet gets it. Gotta have that to make viewers feel bad since the filmmakers can't pull those emotions any other way. See more 12/24/2019 Trash garbage waste of life on watching & creating. See more 10/12/2019 My spontaneous "this just came out, I'll watch it right away" horror flick. "Hoax" is my 971st horror movie & it turned out to be a rather flat & very generic endeavour. One single sort-of-a-spoiler ahead. Now, what compliments can I give the filmmakers behind this pointless exercise in the Bigfoot horror genre? Technically, cinematography and sound editing is at least on the average level - it's pretty decent for a B movie. Some of the locations are very scenic and nature gives us better effects than the actual FX team. The acting is, for the most part, okay-ish, with some bad dialogue scenes that could make you cringe. What else? I mean, I guess props for the twist near the end, where they went all Wrong Turn / TCM, but, sadly, it was already too late to improve the bigger picture. If there's not too many compliments, there sure are a lot of complaints. Honestly, the most disappointing part is the lack of any half-decent action sequences. They're bland, with zero detail, most of the good stuff happens off-screen and, well, the budget restraints can be felt to a painful level. There are maybe three little scenes in which you can see and appreciate some low-budget special effects effort. The pacing is slow oh so slow, most of the movie is talking & it doesn't have much substance. At least the variety of characters was diverse enough, as much as it could've been in a movie like this. Soundtrack, original score? Flat and repeatative. The climax is mehh, because you're already tired from the build-up. It is what it is. There are at least 10 better Bigfoot-centered horror movies out there, therefore I do not recommend watching this neither to old or new fans of horror movies. Watch it if you're a sucker for Bigfoot flicks & have seen all the rest of 'em. My rating: 3/10. See more Read all reviews
