The cinematic equivalent to background noise, "Sightings" features very little, very wooden acting, and very little reason to actually focus on it. The plot -- if you could call it that -- revolves a family under suspicion of murder coming into contact with a seemingly aggressive Bigfoot near their property, leading to a series of encounters that, as well as upping the body count surrounding the family, will also exonerate them in the eyes of their community. That probably sounds too spoiler-y but trust me, this no-budget work was spoiled the moment it was shot. There's just nothing here to grasp onto and, like a soap opera omnibus playing on TV while you do your household chores, you can leave and come back to it and not really have missed anything essential to your, ahem, enjoyment of it. Why does the poster art feature alien abduction imagery instead of Bigfoot imagery, you ask? Beats me, I've slept since I watched this particular nothingburger and all I can definitively say is that this is no "Bigfoot: The Lost Coast Tapes".
