Reel Monsters (2022) - full transcript

When I was a kid,

my family moved around a lot.

Switching schools
six times in four years

made it pretty tough
to make friends.

But over time,
I got pretty good at it.

I even stopped questioning
why we needed to move so often.

When my dad's job
took my mom and me

to Patterson Grove,
Pennsylvania,

I thought we had just moved
to another boring little town.

I couldn't have been more wrong.

That June,
I had to go to summer school.



I wasn't happy about it,

but it was there
that I met four other kids

who became very close friends.

It was during that summer
when those kids and I

discovered something
I still can't believe was real.

It changed the way
I felt about myself.

It changed the way
I felt about my father.

It changed the way
I felt about the world.

And it all started on
that first day of school.

I can't believe you!

I told you to stop
babying that kid.

He's soft enough as it is.

He's just sensitive,
is all.

Sensitive?
Are you for real?



You know,
you could learn a thing or two.

Like what? How to bury
my head in comic books

and monster magazines?

He's just a boy.
He's supposed to love monsters

- and superheroes.
- A boy? He's...

he's nearly a teenager!

And there will be time

for more serious things
when he is.

Yeah. If he can keep
from wetting the bed

or running off
to elope with a Yeti!

You really are
a pathetic child.

Oh, I'll show you
a damn child.

Where are you going?
Get back here.

I haven't even started
with you yet.

When I grow up,
my kids will never have to face

the real monsters of this world.

What's happening,
little brother?

How many years
you been held back?

Oh, you got
this scene all wrong.

I'm a teacher here.

Sometimes I need
to just stand outside,

remind myself that
the world is my classroom.

So where do you keep
the erasers?

You're new here, right?

I'm always new somewhere.

We move around a lot
with my dad's job.

So what's your scene?

The usual stuff,
music, comics, movies.

Mmm, movies, huh?

I'm a Kubrick fan myself.

More making than watching.

We got kids here
that are down with that.

Got a whole film club
and everything.

Right now, I'm kind of French
New Wave meets the Ramones.

Not sure that's anybody's thing.

You might be surprised.

Well, there's the bell.

You better get inside.

- Okay, Mister...
- Kapatelis.

But the kids here
call me The Captain.

- Aye, aye, Captain.
- Hmm.

You got it all wrong.

More of a captain of the mind.

Hey, you got a hall pass?

Do you?

I got five.

I just got the one.

You must be new here, you
wouldn't talk to us that way.

Just moved here.

Some kind of military brat?

- Nope.
- Your dad's kind of wussy,

not enough man
to get in the army?

Bet he's one of them kids
got two dads.

Don't turn your back on us,

you'll be sorry for turning
your back on us.

The Patterson Grove
welcoming committee

left a lot to be desired.

But luckily, I found out quickly

that I wasn't the only
filmmaker at my new school.

While I was hopeful
about making friends

with similar hobbies,

my dad was about
to get a surprise visit

from an unexpected guest.

Will, are you there?

Please respond. Over.

Yeah, I'm here, Ricky,

and you just made me
jump out of my skin.

Sorry, good buddy. Over.

Can we drop the whole
"Over" thing?

- It just feels weird to me.
- Sure thing.

Just get it out of your system.

Sure thing. Over.

Okay, are we all set now?

Yup.

Aren't you gonna ask me
what I'm up to?

Sorry, I have a lot on
my mind right now.

Oh, man.

Are they at it again?

Unfortunately.

What set them
off this time?

Their favorite subject.

- You?
- Bingo.

I'm sorry, good buddy.

It's fine.
As soon as I'm old enough

I'm gonna split
and never look back.

No one would blame you,
that's for sure.

I just don't get it, is all.

I'm not a bad kid.

I stay out of trouble.
I get good grades.

I'm sorry, good buddy.

I just don't know what
my old man wants from me.

Hey, man,
if I understood parents,

I'd write a book about it
and be rolling in dough.

Now that I believe.

Not to take away from
your wonderful tales

of home sweet home...

No, please, change the subject.

I think I found it.

- It?
- Yeah, it!

The perfect location to
film our monster movie.

Walking in Bigfoot's shoes
is one step closer

to becoming a reality.

That's so cool. Where are you?

The south end
of the Winchell,

just off Thorn Path.

You mean Winchell, the woods?

You know another Winchell?

Good point. Good news.

I'm there, too,
just on the other end.

I'll start heading your way.
See you soon.

Right on!

Will?

Will?

Where are you?

Will?

Will!

Will?

No.

No.

No.

Come in, come in. Uh, my people,

this is the new student
I was telling you about.

Hey man, I'm Boone.

I think we met
in American History today.

You know what I said about
American history?

It was written by the winners.

- This is my girlfriend, Sandra.
- Hey.

Hey, I'm Millie.

Hey, I'm Cory.

So I'm working on, like, my own
Logan's Run movie,

only good,
and I'm trying to figure out

if I could do lasers
or something.

Maybe some dry ice,
some flashlights.

Not sure about
the dry ice though.

No, you just need to take a pin,

scratch the emulsion
off the back.

Then the light shines through
and makes it look like a laser.

- Won't that destroy the film?
- Nah, man. I do it all the time.

I even poke holes through
to make gunshots.

How can you see
the end of the guns?

My dad has a Minette Viewer
for editing,

makes it a lot easier.

Man, I could do
with one of those.

That's pretty cool.

So is your dad into this, too?

Yeah, it's something
we do together

but he's been into it
for a long time.

That is pretty cool.

My old man pretty much
stops at John Wayne and PBR.

We got a bunch of Super 8

silent stuff to watch,
Chaplin, Harold Lloyd.

We even got some Tom Mix,

some other cool stuff,
clips from 20 Million Miles

to Earth; Rodan.

That's the good stuff there.

I need to meet this dude.

You should bring some of those
to the next meeting.

I will. I think he would let me.

He makes his own movies, too,
since before I was born.

What kind of movies?

Not fiction really, more like
whatever was going on stuff.

Home movies,
family vacations stuff?

No, more like, life.

Life, man.

So what are
you working on yourself?

Little of this, little of that.

Keeping it on
the auteur side, I dig that.

So bring some of
your stuff next week, man,

so we can figure out some of
the.

If I have something ready.

Dude,
I already told you all about

my Logan's Run homage.

I told you not to turn
your back on us.

Found a boyfriend on
your first day?

You must really put out.

See, I would say something
about your mom putting out,

but it's just too easy.

You're just pitching
these in underhand.

I'm the one hitting,
not pitching.

What's all this?

'Sup, Bob.

'Sup little bro, get in.

Hey, Bob.

Who said you can call me Bob?

It's Bobbi to you.

And don't you have
a T-ball game to get to?

Thanks for bailing us out, sis.

When I was a senior,
those two were sophomores.

And now they're seniors
and you guys are sophomores.

But I'm two years gone
from this dump

and that's just how
the food chain works.

Let's play some tunes.

Hey, see you at school
tomorrow, Mills.

So where do you live, new guy?

Hang a left.

Hey Bob, pull over.

- What?
- Pull over.

Do not put that on your foot.

What?

You see tennis shoes sometimes

laying on
the side of the road, but...

who finds a dress shoe
laying on the side of the road?

You still on
this haunted woods thing?

Haunted woods?

Those stories even
go back to my day.

Some sort of monster who's
supposedly lives out there.

Every once in a while,
somebody goes missing,

never heard from again.

Sounds like a movie.

I'm not going out there
to shoot a movie.

People don't go out
to those woods for anything.

No partying, nothing.

Great. I live just
across from it,

the other side of that field.

Let's get going.

Hey man, it's good to
have you in the club.

Hey, thanks.

You guys want to come in?

Sure.

Mom.

Cory.

I didn't realize school
was out already.

What's happened, Mom?

Where's Dad?

Your dad's gone.

He started drinking again.

I had to ask him to leave.

That...
that doesn't sound like Dad.

It's being back here after
all these years.

There's some hard memories here.

Come home to
a house like this?

I deserve some respect!

Who are your friends?

This is Boone,
his older sister, Bobbi.

People call me Roberta, ma'am.

This is Boone's girlfriend,
Sandra.

Hi.

We better go in.
See you at school tomorrow.

See ya.

What's really going on, Mom?

Nothing. Wh...
what I told you is the truth.

Please just go to
your room until supper.

- But Mom...
- Please, just

go to your room.

We never should have
come back here.

Where the heck

- are ya, man?
- I'm getting there,

- I just stopped to rest is all.
- Rest?

You need to lay off
the TV dinners, good buddy.

You might be right.

Anyway,
you can take your time.

I just set up camp.

Camp?
You're gonna sleep out here?

- You know it.
- Won't your parents

- wonder where you are?
- No way. I told them

I'm staying overnight
at your place.

You're better off out here.

That's the truth.

You brought the tent
and everything?

Of course.

Plus, a full kit
and the trusty Super 8.

I'm gonna get as much footage
as I can while I'm roughing it.

Solid.

Whoa, that's weird.

What is?

All the birds
and stuff...

they stopped making noise.

Here, too.

Listen to this.

"All sounds in
the forest dropped

"in the presence of
the Sasquatch,

"as if the whole of the animal
kingdom paid their respects

- "to their lord and master."
- Oh man,

his could be the greatest thingt
that ever happened to our film!

Yeah, if we live long
enough to make it.

I knew something was up

with my mom's story,

but I just couldn't
figure out why

she wouldn't tell me the truth.

Maybe it had something
to do with

he car I'd seen parked outsidet
our house earlier.

I wasn't certain

until I saw it in
my backyard again.

Yes, police?

I want to report...

I want to report a missing...

No.

No.

It's, um, Beth. Will's gone.

Yeah, somebody's gone through
the old films.

I know we shouldn't have
come back here.

Your dad hid it? Why?

I don't know.

I've always been able
to watch his stuff,

but he always had one reel
he stashed away

I could never look at.

When I saw our place
had been trashed,

it was the only thing
I could think of

he's ever hidden away
from people.

My mom's hiding something,

trying to protect me.

My dad never
came home last night,

and it's not
from getting too drunk.

How can we help?

Could you watch this with me?

You guys know Super 8,

and maybe you'll see
something in this I don't.

Plus, you guys are
from the area, and something...

something my mom said
makes me think

this was shot around here.

- What?
- Yeah.

My mom and dad lived here
back before I was born.

Well, they've lived
a lot of places, but...

I just have this feeling.

Let's reel it up, man.

So you've lived a lot of places?

Yeah.

I did, too, once my dad left.

It's not easy.

No, it's not.

Your dad shot that?

I guess so, yeah.

I haven't been out in
those woods much, but...

that sure looks like 'em.

Looks like trees to me.

Yeah, but it's more of the vibe.

I thought you said he wasn't
into doing fiction.

He wasn't.

Then what was that?

Watch your step.

Are you crazy?

People run through here.

Beats shootin' it.

I don't know who you guys are.

I'm not even gonna ask you
if you have permits

to be out here.
I'm just out of here.

It's been through here.

Will, you okay?

Yeah.

I...
I think I see something.

Well, what is it?

I don't know, but it's...

- big.
- Is it a bear?

I don't know.
It's hunched over, and...

it's dark,
but it's too far away.

Maybe you should get
the hell out of there.

- No way!
- Come on, man.

- Our film isn't worth dying for!
- Oh, no.

It just stood up.

It's not a bear!

Ricky. Ricky, what's going on?

It's him! It's Bigfoot!

Don't worry, I'll protect
the camera with my life.

This footage is going
to be amazing!

Hang on. I'm coming.

So what are we going do?

What are we gonna do?

You showed us the movie.
Now it's a "we".

My dad's missing.

You say there is something
in the woods.

My dad's movie looks like

it was shot there
back in the day, so...

maybe he's in the woods.

That woods, it's...

it's not like a grove of trees.

It's a couple
of acres out there.

So maybe it's not a recon hike.

Maybe it's a camp out.

Man, haven't you listening
to anything anybody's said?

You watched your dad's movie.

So we'll take a tent
and say we're going camping

if a cop or rancher
or somebody else stops us.

You don't get it, bro.
There are no cops

and there are no rangers
out in those woods.

I have a tent.

It's my little brother's
old Boy Scout tent.

He quit after a years
and nobody uses it now.

Cool. I'll tell my mom
I'm at Millie's Saturday night.

Millie says she's at my house,

Boone says he's at Cory's,

Cory's at Boone's. Easy peasy.

Cool. I'll make sandwiches.

Is this a plan?

Except for my folks
don't care where I am.

Yeah, sounds like a good plan.

You got film stock
in case we find anything?

I always have film stock.

Shooting a porno with your mom?

Looks like somebody raked
the cat box.

Shut up.
You don't got Boone's big sister

to bail you out of this one.

They don't need her.

They have me.

Ugh, what the hell is that?

It's for when I don't feel
so fresh, as a woman.

It stings.

Calm down,
it's the closest you'll ever be.

It's just perfume, doofus.

Ugh.

Smelling pretty hurts.

Ugh, get this stuff off of me.

You didn't do nothing!

What do you want?
I got three older sisters,

I know what can happen.

I've been drug up
the stairs by my hair

so many times,
it's lucky I'm not bald.

Thanks for having my back, jerk.

You gotta admit,
she sure does smell pretty.

Hey, wait!

You move pretty quick
for a blind guy.

I'm fine.

So what do we do now?

We tried to show them
who's boss twice now.

Third time lucky.

Y'all stick out like...

a couple of brown skid marks
on a pair of tighty-whites.

We ain't doing nothing.

Kid says
they ain't doing nothing...

you know damn well...

they're doing something.

Y'all weren't planning
on going off and

doing something stupid
in them woods now, would you?

Nope.
But I know someone who does.

Well....

Do tell.

Cory.

Is school out already?

Yeah. And it's Friday, Mom.

Friday?

Yeah. And I'm going camping
with some new friends

in the morning.

Maybe that's best for right now.

Not the woods.

No. This guy has a field
his grandpa owns.

Kind of a hobby farm.

I'm glad you and your father
had this hobby together.

Make sure it stays
a hobby, okay?

Okay.

Quiet, Hewie.

I said... I said be quiet.

Be quiet, Hewie, knock it off.

What's the matter?
It's not stormin'.

Good boy.

What's the matter?

It isn't storming outside
or anything.

If you're an animal,

we're all one with
Mother Nature.

And if you're a burglar, I...

don't believe I own anything
on a material frame.

That night,

I had one of
the most vivid dreams

I can ever remember.

There was this creature roaming
the fields near the forest.

It was hairy like an ape.

And somehow, I knew that
it was part of the reason

why my dad had disappeared.

I felt like it was trying
to tell me something.

But I just couldn't understand.

Dad, what's going on?

Ricky? Ricky, are you there?

I'm here, but I lost him.

He bolted when
the storm started.

Ricky, you gotta be careful!

You need to find somewhere safe.

This sounds like it's gonna
be a really bad one.

Solid advice, good buddy.

- You should do the same.
- I'll be okay.

I hijacked your tent.

Hey, you know that cave
on the east side?

- Yeah.
- Well,

I must have traveled
further than that

because I'm right
in front of it.

You better be careful.
There might be something

way more dangerous than
this storm inside there.

I'm already inside...

You gotta be more careful!

Okay, Mom.

You're lucky you have me
looking out for you.

Calm down.

You know I appreciate it.

Just stay put

and I'll make my way back there
after this blows over.

Don't worry, I have no
intention of going anywhere.

Give me five to keep me alive.

I can't believe
you're making me do this.

Just be cool,
and I'll give you a marshmallow.

I've even brought pink ones.

Do I look like I eat a lot
of pink marshmallows?

Marshmallows?
What are you doing with those?

We're supposed to be camping,
aren't we?

Yeah, fake camping.

Gotta make it real.

The A-Team you aren't. Come on.

You got it?

Don't leave home without it.

Do you want me to drive you
clear around here?

Yeah, these woods is
a couple of acres.

But if you drive us to
the farthest point,

we can hike back and end up
somewhere near Cory's house.

Better than starting at this end

in the middle of nowhere.

I've got a feeling we don't

want to be stuck standing
there, waiting for him.

How's your mom?

She was asleep
when I left, but...

all right considering
we haven't heard from my dad.

Don't worry. We're gonna
do something about that.

Hang on.

Hang on, I think that car
was outside my house.

Cory.

They're after us.

Have you ladies ever raced
for pink slips?

Listen, sis...

They're gaining.

Oh no, they're not.

Where are we, Bob?

This used to be
an old logging road.

Dad and his brothers
would come out here

and hunt back in the old days.

I never heard about that.

You were too young
and I was just a girl.

Word is there hasn't been
any wild game out here

for a while now.
Funny, isn't it?

Actually, I think this is gonna
to work pretty well.

I think this puts us
on the far side of the woods

before it turns into
a highway frontage road.

What do you think?

It'll work.

Ricky? Ricky, where are you?

Damn.

I'm really worried about you.

You're the only friend I have
and the only one

who gives a damn about me.
Please, Ricky, answer!

I'm exhausted.

I need to get some rest.

But I'll keep my...

keep my ears on
in case you need to contact me.

You ready?

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah, well,
if I don't see you doofuses

in front of your house
at this time tomorrow morning,

the shenanigans are over
and I'm calling the cops.

Way to be a narc, Bob.

Just be safe little bro,
all right?

All right, all right.

I don't like having to be
the mom, and the dad,

and the big sister,
and the driver,

and everything else.

All right,
I heard you loud and clear.

So you're sure that movie was
shot out here somewhere?

You're asking me that now?

Yeah, you can tell.

Somewhere out here.

Anywhere out here.

So long as it's not
nowhere out here.

So you think your dad would
have come out here?

Yeah, because I would,
and we're a lot alike.

I'm eager to meet your dad then.

You ain't from around here.

I'm a state worker.

Thought so.

Locals don't come around here.

Well, you're out here.

We're hunting.

As far as I know,

there's nothing
in season right now.

Well, what we're hunting for...

is always in season.

You best get back
to where you was parked.

Yeah, well...

I was done anyway.

Yeah.

Come on, come on.

Damn!

Ugh!

Ricky?

Ricky, are you there?

Holy crap!

I can see how my dad
got hooked on this place.

I really like it out here.

I remember you said you never
joined Girl Scouts though.

Uniforms, not my color.

Hey guys, stop.

You hear anything?

No.

Does I tell you anything?

No birds, no animals, nothing.

Don't forget what
this place is, guys.

So who owns all this land?

Now, who knows.

Story goes 20, 30 years ago,

some local guy who was
a Korean War vet

and his Korean wife
bought it all.

There was a lot of
prejudice back then

and they just kept
to themselves.

Plus, I heard he was
scarred up pretty bad

from the Battle of
the Chosin Reservoir.

They have any kids?

Don't know why.
I think there's some sort of

half Korean Boo Radley
I hear something.

Just never heard that part
of the story before.

So there's
a homestead somewhere.

A what?

If the woods are so quiet,
then what was that?

It wasn't small.

What was that?

It's maybe what
we came here for.

Y'all just peed down your legs!

- What the hell, man?
- We're out in the wild now.

Time to do this man to man.

Since you already got whooped
by two girls.

9What, you guys wanna go
all Lord of the Flies?

We don't like heavy metal.

You're acting like these guys
know how to read, man.

There's something about you
two guys and big sticks

that you maybe
need to think about.

- What?
- Hey look, your girlfriend

brought a leaf to a stick fight.

It's not a leaf,

it's poison ivy.

- What?
- Oh, man!

What can I say?

She's smarter
and better looking.

I'm batting out of my league.

I wonder if that's
the last we'll see of them.

You're getting jumpy.

You shot too.

Uh-huh.

It's been through here.

You're just rubbing it in,
dumbass.

I need some water.

You see a creek,
a stream, a wishing well?

Just wait 'till we get home,
and quit touching it.

What did you just say?

Agh, damn it.

That chick's some bad medicine.

Seth! Seth!

Seth!

Ow!

Seth!

Seth!

Sorry, bro.

Oomph!

Ah!

They're just goofing.

Buttheads.

Y'all were told not to come.

Hello?

Is this... is this Cory's mom?

Yes, who's this?

I'm not trying to lay
an authority trip

on you or anything, but, um...

I'm a teacher
from Cory's school.

I just wondered if, uh,
he and Boone were there?

No, he's at Boone's.

I already talked to Boone's dad.

They were supposed
to be over there.

Wh... what is this about?

Some guys hit me over
the head last night

and they went through
my stuff...

my film stuff.

Film... film stuff?

Yeah, like uh,
what those kids do

in the film club at school.

Uh...

I think they might be
in trouble.

Let me see your camera.

Nice.

You don't let me
use your camera.

What?

What if we're wrong?

What do you mean?

What if we're not
looking for monsters?

What if bad people
did this to my dad?

Cory?

I think you may be wrong.

Hey, buddy.

Hey, buddy.

We're all cool.

Everybody's cool.

It's okay, it's okay.

No!

There's no way that creature
hurt my dad or anybody else.

Or plant a steel trap.

Look.

Fences are made by people.

Also, keep some things in,

some things out.

Follow a fence line,
you can find people,

or where people lived.

There's something at
the heart of these woods,

and I think it might not be
the monster we're thinking.

I'm Cory's mom.
We met the other day.

You're Roberta?

Yeah. Uh, well,

the guys are probably
running around here somewhere.

You think you're
protecting them,

but you're not.

He's my brother, but...

it's always just kind
of been the two of us.

I understand.

But this is serious

and I really need your help.

Look.

It's gotta be the same guys that
tried to run us off the road.

What do you think they're
doing out here?

Y'all got half a brain each.

Together...

still as dumb
as ice cream in an oven.

What do you want with us?

Use you as target practice.

Multiple rounds.

Shootin' kids is frowned upon,

even when they're little
a-holes like yourselves.

But you got's to learn
what happens

when you try and cross us.

More evidence.

More evidence is right.

We haven't even talked about
what we saw back there,

and we have it on film.

Yeah.

Yeah, what?

Let's just focus on
getting my dad back, okay?

Leave these kids out of this.

It's too late.

Just let them go.
I'll give you what you want.

Better.

Still too late.

Besides...

these two teabags are picking on
your kid at school.

Say we're doing y'all a favor.

It doesn't matter.
Just let them go.

Tell us where your film is.

Think about it.

In the basement.

We stupid now, huh?

We already looked there.

A couple other places, too.

Just tell 'em, mister.

It's the truth.

Maybe we did miss it.

Then again...

maybe the kid brought it.

Cory?

Little boy scout

out and about in the woods.

Big hero,

rescue his daddy.

Not Cory.

Tell you what,

we're gonna go out there,
find him,

have ourselves
a happy little reunion.

No!

That sounded like a gunshot.

- Dad!
- Cory, no!

Dad!

Stand down!

Okay, okay.

You said there'd be
a family reunion.

You okay, son?

I'm okay.

Did you bring the film with you?

What film?

It doesn't matter, Cory.
It's over.

Yeah, I brought it with me.
I didn't want to leave it

where anybody could find it.

- Give it to these men.
- But Dad!

Give it to these men
and they'll let us all go.

Easy.

You're not going in there.

He's my friend.

For what it's worth, Dad,

I know what you filmed
back then was real.

I saw one of them.

Y'all think that's why
we're doing this?

Sure...

capturing them creatures
will make us famous.

Where do you think
the money for all them traps

and these guns
and all that's coming from, hmm?

This film of your dad's,

the one shot in
the woods back then,

I got me
some influential clients

who believe
it accidentally shows

a chemical dumpsite.

Even after all these years,

this footage can still get
some folks in trouble.

My brother always thought
there was something

going on down on this land,

and he and my sister-in-law
both died of cancer.

- That was your brother?
- Yeah.

And I should have come back
a long time ago

and taken care of this.

Now I've got you involved
and it's my biggest regret.

Don't worry.

Y'all see 'em soon enough.

Dad, this is my best
friend, Boone.

It's gonna be okay.

You there, good buddy?

Ricky! I'm so happy
to hear your voice.

The feeling's mutual.

I couldn't get that walkie
to work for hours.

Probably the storm
messing with it.

You wouldn't believe
the morning I've had.

If it's anything
like my night,

I bet I would.

I've been stalked by
wolves and Bigfoot!

I think you may
have that wrong.

- I do?
- Yup. You see,

those wolves were
out for my blood, too.

Or maybe I took their shelter
from the storm.

All I know is they were
inching closer and closer,

and they meant business.

This seems eerily familiar.

The next part
is really gonna

knock your socks off.

- Go on.
- Well,

just when things
were the most grim,

that Bigfoot stepped
into the light

and let loose with
the most unnatural growl

I have ever heard.

Those wolves scattered
in all four directions

and old Foot chased
after some of 'em.

The night was quiet
as can be after that,

minus the storm, that is.

Well, at least we know what
happened to those wolves.

And our hairy
hero as well.

I was totally wrong about him,

- that's for sure.
- I mean,

who could blame you?

He has got sort of a bad rap

- in all the books we read.
- True.

I still wish I could
thank him, though.

Maybe someday
you'll get a chance.

Come on, Ricky,
what are the chances

- we'll ever see Bigfoot again?
- About the same

as seeing him
in the first place.

I hope you're right.

So now what?

Head home soon, I guess,

back where the monsters are
never friendly.

I wish our new friend
could help you there.

Me too, but such is life.

- What about you?
- I'm gonna check out

this footage. With this stuff,

we may have the next Jaws
on our hands.

Man, I can't wait
to see what you got!

I'll contact you
later tonight.

Same bad time, same bad channel.

You know it!

Great.

On that note,

over and out, good buddy.

Okay, I'll give you one:

over and out.

Will? Will!

Are you there?

Come in, good buddy.

Roger that.

Don't worry, good buddy.

Everything's gonna be all right.

Cory!

Cory?

This is where I dropped them
off this morning, ma'am.

I'm not sure which way
they went from here.

Cory!

Cory!

Cory!

Will!

We made it and we got to film.

Hey, man.

No. Just...

No.

Maybe you think I was crazy

for destroying that film.

Heck, maybe I am crazy.

Maybe you have to be
a little crazy to ruin

the only documented footage
of an actual Sasquatch.

All I know is

that monster saved our lives.

The least I could give it
was privacy.

We never told anyone
about the creature.

Well, not until right now,
that is.

So I hope you can keep a secret.
