Not surprisingly, iconoclastic director Christopher Munch has taken a different tack in Letters From the Big Man. His Sasquatch is a more evolved creature with mystical communication skills.

This is clearly not a film made for everyone, but for a fortunate few, it will feel like a cleansing in nature.
