Exists (2014) vs. Willow Creek (2012) | The Ultimate Found Footage Bigfoot Battle! - CinemaJam vs30

from CinemaJam · host Pablo Velez y Sebastian Gomez

Are you ready to venture deep into the woods? For our monumental 30th episode of CinemaJam Versus, co-hosts Pablo Vélez and Sebastián Gómez are packing their cameras and hunting down the holy grail of cryptid horror: Bigfoot! In one corner, we have the high-octane, action-heavy creature feature Exists (2014), directed by The Blair Witch Project pioneer Eduardo Sánchez. In the opposite corner, comedy legend turned horror director Bobcat Goldthwait delivers a minimalist masterclass in psychological tension with Willow Creek (2012).What happens when a relentless apex predator goes head-to-head with an agonizingly quiet night in a camping tent? We break down both films across 6 intensive rounds—covering story lore, improvised acting, single-take direction, paralyzing sound design, and rewatchability factors. Grab your headphones, lock your cabin doors, and find out how one of these films managed a stunning 6-0 landslide victory!🚨 Listener Note: Early bird gets the worm—and the cryptid!
