Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The first thing you need to know about Sasquatch Sunset is that it’s not a film for everybody, but for those it clicks with, it may be a truly special viewing experience.

Pros Cons Sasquatch Sunset features a small cast of four that includes Jesse Eisenberg, Riley Keough, Christophe Zajac-Denek, and Nathan Zellner, who co-wrote and directed the film with his brother, David. In full bodysuits, makeup, and with a commendable level of commitment, the actors look truly marvelous in their hairy get-ups as they move with an interesting mix of human and ape-like characteristics.

Without knowing in advance, I never could have guessed it was Eisenberg and Keough under their highly realistic and well-presented costumes. Close Executive produced by Ari Aster, Sasquatch Sunset leaned more into the surrealist dark comedy of Beau Is Afraid than the outright shock horror of Hereditary. Although there were moments of terror within the film, these were quickly lightened by its strange sense of humor. The directors were also no strangers to unusual projects as they previously directed episodes of Nathan Fielder’s The Curse and left their unique mark on the Western genre with the black comedy Damsel.
