An interesting premise goes downhill after a promising start. Emma Fitzpatrick is very good as the star here. Jane is an artist with some severe mental problems.
She is at a party where she dtinks heavily and takes some unknown drugs and after a quickie in a bathtub, she ventures out into an alley and is set upon by a Bigfoot type of creature who cuts her up. The injuries are thought to be self inflicted by the LAPD, including the requisite lesbian detective.
Ig becomes more and more unbelievable by the minute as Jane becomes an internet sensation by posting her story with updates on her attack.
The last few minutes are ridiculouse and the talented Ms. Fitzpatrick is wasted here. The rating of three is only for her.
Plot summary
Finding herself the victim of a violent monster attack, Jane launches a vigilante campaign to hunt the beast that tried to kill her. Jane's efforts intensify, but her troubling history of drug use and mental illness bubbles to the surface causing her family, community, and authorities to question the authenticity of her account. Suddenly alone in her fight, Jane starts to doubt her own memory of the attack...to doubt if Monster exists at all.

Bigfoot Rapist
Decent mid-budget thriller
Captures the good times of drinking and pills from the days of misspent youth really well. Glad my time was before social media ruined everything. Interesting story built around the "is this really happening" genre while offering some commentary on social issues, it goes to some dark place and gets fairly intense. My only criticism, as seen here, would be the current trend of directors changing the shot angle every 5 seconds, too much imagery to process.
Gripping film
I remember seeing Emma Fitzpatrick about 10 years ago in The Collector and thinking what a good looking actress we'll be seeing a lot more of her (I don't recall her being quite so well endowed! Lol). Disappointingly few appearances since then. She does a great job in this role and the plot just keeps you guessing all the way. Could well become a cult classic.
Codzilla!
