SAVAGE (Released 2010)

 

A blazing forest fire rips its way through Bear Mountain National Park. As the firefighters try to contain it, the animals are being forced out of their habitat including a beast that was better left undiscovered. Now several firefighters are missing or found mutilated.


When word about the fire spreads, Dale, a scientist dedicated to proving the existence of Bigfoot, hires Jack, a local Bigfoot hunting legend, to help him track the beast. Dale wishes to provide proof of the beast’s existence, Jack wants to find it for revenge. Owen, a park ranger, begins poking around searching for poachers who might be interested in taking pop shots at the fleeing wildlife. He stumbles across Richard and Gabrielle, two petty criminals who are on the run from the law. Owen soon discovers that this simple arrest is anything but routine when he encounters the Bigfoot.

 

As the creature tears a path through the forest destroying everything and everyone it comes in contact with, Owen must race home to rescue his pregnant wife who stands in the beast’s deadly path and restore order to the park.
