Kevin Makely plays Tyler, a former Army Ranger who proposes to his longtime girlfriend Natalie (Summer Spiro) on a camping trip. That’s about to change, however, with Justin Lee’s awesome, fun Big Legend. Recently, numerous reality TV shows have cropped up, claiming to search for the legendary creature alongside films like Eduardo Sánchez’s superbly intense Exists (2014) and Bobcat Goldthwait’s sadly misguided Willow Creek (2013). Its cousin, the Yeti, has popped up more often, taking the spotlight in 1957’s The Abominable Snowman, Paul Naschy’s 1975 Waldemar entry The Werewolf and the Yeti, the corny made-for-TV Snowbeast (1977) and even 1974’s oddball exploitation schlock Shriek of the Mutilated to name a few, leaving his Pacific Northwestern counterpart in the shadows. 1987’s Harry and the Hendersons brought a friendly PG version of the creature to mass audiences, but sightings on celluloid have been few and far between just like Bigfoot.

The stupidity of a small group has exposed the entire clan and the clan leader intercedes by slaying his own son.Despite its prominence in American folklore, the Sasquatch hasn’t appeared much in film. However, they have the ability to instill stone-cold horror in their victims, causing them to freeze in place, unable to move in response to a loved one being devoured alive before their eyes! The story goes that this 3 generation family has been driven from former homes by enraged humans. They can be killed with weapons common to the vampire/evil ghost hunters, with one cultural twist. And they don't mind ripping the flesh off of any other humans who get in the way of their insatiable bloodlust!. These things seem to sense when a baby is due and will track the expecting mother over great distances in order to secure the tender morsel. This is a whole family of the beasts right on their home turf in a rural village in the Philippines. I came across this legend for the first time in an episode of GRIMM. Many cultures have tales of shapeshifting baby stealing cannibals, and this certainly fits the genre. This is the full-blown telling of the legend of the Aswang of the Philipines.
