Jordan Blum directs this entry in the myriad of Bigfoot movies. A raging wild fire rips through Bear Valley National Park. Shift after shift, firefighters try to contain the blaze that has ousted animals from their habitat. Animals, critters and beasts big and small are displaced. After the flames are under control several firefighters turn up mysteriously ripped apart as if they tangled with a large bear. Park Ranger Owen Fremont(Tony Becker)was just beginning to enjoy his job in the woods after working as a big city cop. Owen is forced to deal with angry campers wanting refunds and ready to leave their camps in the park due to rumors of a sasquatch-like creature on the loose. Old Jack Lund(Martin Kove)knows for sure of an animal resembling Bigfoot in the forest, because as a child he watched it maul his father to death. Not bad; but not that good either. Decent enough to spend a lazy afternoon or rainy night with. Others in the cast: Shane Callahan, Tom Turbiville, Robert Praigo, Lisa Wilcox, Ron Prather, the fetching Anna Enger and Jack Harrison as the creature.
