The Quachita Beast Incident, Bigfoot vs. Old Guy with Yoga Mat

Born out of the resurgence of the Transcendental movement in America comes our film today. Nature!  A lot of nature.  Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau would be proud.  So would Bigfoot.  This film was 30 years in the making...but finally after three decades, we have a story that can finally be told. Yes, you heard rumors of an incident in the Arkansas mountains.  This film explains what that incident was...and shows you a lot of nature. Today we look at a 2023 Master Hughes film, "The Quachita Beast Incident."  

Old but likable hiker (Hughes) is going into the Arkansas mountains to hike to a ridge.  It has been years since anyone has been up there. His buddy (Richard Rensberry) warns him that bear attacks may have occurred up there. Our hiker laughs at danger!  He is one of the last few real men left in Arkansas after the Clintons feminized that state.  Joining his hike is his old buddy (Scott F. Macdonald). The buddy is not a significant part of the story so we shall not mention him again.  Now our hiker, carrying around a Yoga mat treks onto an old overgrown trail.  Uh oh...Bigfoot starts following him.  At first our old hiker does not notice.  Soon he sees signs of the monster.

Soon enough, our hiker realizes he is being followed and very possibly hunted by the big hairy enigma. He'll even unroll his Yoga mat...it gets that scary.  Trudging through brush we are treated to more nature scenes.  Though the temptation to pause the film and meditate is intense, we keep watching.  Old man running through the woods of an Arkansas mountain as the hairy thing pursues.  Then...more nature.  30 years of nature, really.  Alas, a horrific conclusion awaits...okay, maybe not horrific.  A scary conclusion awaits...okay, not that scary.  A conclusion awaits.  Will there be a Yoga class?

Is this film a metaphor for the mistreatment of our geriatric population in America under the Biden Administration?  Will this film prop up attendance at Yoga classes even more than hot Asian Yoga instructors in those tight pants?  Will Arkansas' ethos ever be free of the Boggy Creek incident of the early 70s?  This is a film you must see.  Those of you who have hunted for our hairy cryptid will be able to relate.  See "The Quachita Beast Incident," and marvel how loyal it is to the book.

  1. strangest review ive ever seen but thanks for the effort, and yes its probably right that the clintons feminized the state of arkansas, But the fact is the Quachita Beast incident has been the best selling movie we've done and in fact, the rating went to restricted and than Mature audience only on Tubi, and i agree it did scare some people but A MA rating please that was overkill.
