The first thing you'll notice is that the title card in the film says Devil on the Mountain, but the dvd says Sasquatch Mountain. Hmmm, that doesn't bode well.
When their hold up goes wrong, a group of bank robbers shoot a deputy. But on the way out of town on an isolated dirt road, they end up in a car accident. With the police hot on their heels, the two groups engage in a gun battle before the bad guys disappear into the woods with their hostage Erin.
Erin has in her possession a VHS that was given to her by the gas station attendant who was having a yard sale at work. The video just happens to contain home video of Bigfoot taken by the attendant's mother who shot the footage the night she died.
Since Erin wants a picturesque route out of town, she's advised to take the dirt road which will eventually turn scenic. Yeah.... but when I'm driving through an area I'm not familiar with I never take dirt roads in the middle of nowhere.
Chase Jackson, played by Lance Henriksen, is a tow truck drive whose wife died twenty years ago when she was hit by a car. But right before she died, she captured footage of Bigfoot. The hit and run is not a plot point, although I figured it would be. The biggest hole in the story would be that for twenty years Lance has maintained that they saw Bigfoot that night, and no one will believe him. So... he never showed anyone the freaking tape? I can see why he wouldn't want to watch it since his wife was hit while filming, but holy cow give it so someone else.
It's robbers vs. lawmen. vs. the tracker vs. Chase Jackson vs. Bigfoot in a mediocre, mostly non-Bigfoot robbers-on-the-lam movie.
