Synopsis

When a young boy discovers a Bigfoot monster may be lurking in the woods behind his house, he must face his fear to uncover the truth.

Moviegoers are saying

The Wildman of Shaggy Creek divides audiences between those charmed by its nostalgic '80s throwback vibes and R.L. Stine-inspired creature feature elements, and those who find it a 'nerfed Goosebumps episode' lacking the suspense and energy needed to make woodland mysteries memorable. While praised for its Hollywood-level cinematography and standout performance by Ayla Bullington as Hailey, many viewers felt the film suffered from pacing issues and a wildman creature that moves 'slow as molasses.'

Basically a nerfed Goosebumps episode where you take out any R. L. Stein plot twists and have modern kids handle an 80’s,90’s style adventure by texting each other about what’s happening more than showing the characters do or see anything. It was watchable for sure if…

Don’t take this rating as this movie being straight bad, because it wasn’t. But as a low-budget thriller film for kids, it’s unfortunately not super high in its quality. There was a lot of continuity issues (for example Scott would get in water and then a second later be…

SOLID little surprise! THE WILDMAN OF SHAGGY CREEK is a fun little movie that takes the "new kid in town learns of a spooky local myth" concept and creates something really fun, pretty well made, and well-acted, specifically the chemistry between the main two kids Scotty…

I was theatre managing the cinema beside the one where they premiered this motion picture at Zions Indie Film Fest. But I got to see it at the volunteer Dinner, which was so nice. Marshall and Michelle Moore, the owners of the festival, are so nice and it's noticeable how…
