Night of the Demon

Professor Nugent and a handful of his anthropology students go deep into the woods to investigate some disappearances that may be linked to a sasquatch living in the area. The monotony of their journey is broken up by the Professor's tales of sasquatch-related murders, including but not limited to: a woodsman who gets mutilated with his own axe, two Girl Scouts who get stabbed to death, and a biker who gets his dick ripped off. Their investigation takes a turn for the worse after they meet Crazy Wanda, a mostly mute hermit who, years earlier, was raped by the sasquatch. This low-budget foray into bigfootery features terrible acting, limited lighting, synthesizer noise (as opposed to synthesizer music), multiple flashbacks with flashbacks, plot points that go nowhere, and characters that appear ominous at first but ultimately never reappear. The sasquatch itself looks as though they threw a bag of hair clippings at a guy covered in tanning bronzer.

Not to be confused with Night of the Demons, a pretty decent bad 80s horror movie.

Also not to be confused with the other half dozen movies called Night of the Demon.

I have a copy of Night of the Demons, but I haven't watched it yet. I guess the remake (of Demons, not Demon) will be coming straight to DVD later this year.

I heard Professor Nugent won tenure with his ground-breaking symptomological study of cat scratch fever.
