What if you saw a Goatman skulking through the woods at night? Would you be frightened?

I only ask because we just reeled in the official poster and detailed synopsis for a flick called JIMMY TUPPER VS. THE GOATMAN BOWIE, a horror documentary crossed with a throwback monster movie set to screen at this year’s SXSW Film Festival. But will it be a hokey novelty or something actually able to make mofos quake in their skivvies? You be the judge!

Written and directed by Andrew Bowser, JIMMY TUPPER VS. THE GOATMAN OF BOWIE is an innovative and quirky film that challenges the notion of found footage and what it means to be scared in the woods. Jimmy Tupper (Andrew Bowser) is a no one, he’s nothing. He spends his days working at a Starbucks in Suburban Maryland and his nights drinking and playing Rock Band. His friends see him as the resident stoner and waste of space. One night they decide to pull a prank on poor Jimmy and, while he is passed-out drunk, they leave him in the middle of the woods of Bowie, Maryland.

The next day Jimmy is nowhere to be found. When he finally emerges from the woods he is beaten and bloodied and making outlandish claims. He says he’s seen a monster, the famed “Goatman” of Bowie. His friends believe this to be the drunken ramblings of an overexcited nitwit, but Jimmy knows better. He heads to the woods determined to capture footage of the elusive creature and prove what he knows to be real.

Was Jimmy only dreaming? Did he really see a monster? Only time, and Jimmy’s video camera, will tell.

Sounds like BLAIR WITCH meets HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS…uh, with a savage man-goat tossed in for shits and giggles. What do you think, this something you look forward to enjoying. I mean, the poster looks like a pretty good time, right?

Bowser himself stars, doing so alongside Mike Eller, Pedro Gonzalez, Chris Jones, Tim Kuczka, Micah Terrill, Rose Rodkey, and Brittany Latorre.
