There’s horror and hairy situations in Bigfoot’s Stomping Ground

Last Updated on July 21, 2021

Squatchers are right up there with ghost hunters as people who lend themselves to being characters in horror movies. Hiking out into the wilderness in the hopes of having an encounter with a giant, furry monster is basically offering yourself up to get ripped limb from limb by the legendary Bigfoot.

A group of squatchers will find themselves in a hairy situation when BRINKvision releases writer/director Dan Riesser's film STOMPING GROUND on DVD and VOD March 8th.

Stomping Ground is the story of Ben and Annie, a young couple on a weekend trip to Annie's small North Carolina hometown. At the local bar they run into Paul, a charming old friend of Annie's, and Ben learns something he never knew about his girlfriend: She believes in Bigfoot. In fact, she and her friends used to "hunt" for the creature when they were kids. Before Ben knows it, he's off on an impromptu Squatchin' trip deep in the Carolina backwoods. Amidst the Squatch calls, campfire stories and beers, Ben quickly realizes that Paul may have an ulterior motive in bringing Annie to the woods. And something else out here seems to be after her as well. Everyone but Ben thinks its Bigfoot. But it can't be, can it? After all, Bigfoot isn't real.

John Bobek and Tarah DeSpain star in the film, which also features a cameo appearance by Theresa Tilly of the original EVIL DEAD.

Special features on the DVD release include an audio commentary by Riesser, Bobek, and DeSpain; a behind-the-scenes featurette; and deleted scenes.

STOMPING GROUND is currently available for pre-order on Amazon, or BRINKvision is offering to send a signed poster and signed postcards along with the DVD if you order it directly from them. Limited to 100 sets.
