‘Angsty. Awkward. Edible. It’s hard being a kid in a monster movie.’
Big Bad is a 2016 American comedy horror film directed by Opie Cooper, making his feature debut, from a screenplay co-written with Danny Dauphin and Beth Kander. The movie stars Ainsley Bailey, Cameron Deane Stewart, Madeline Thelton and Daniel Dauphin.
Plot:
A group of teenagers spend the night in an abandoned jail for a school fundraiser. Things take a chilling turn when their chaperone vanishes just as a vicious beast attacks…
Reviews:
“Big Bad isn’t terrible, however, it’s of mediocre value. There is a decent amount of violence, but most of it is not shown. There is one semi-gory scene close to the end […] This film shows more like a retro 60’s movie than an 80’s movie.” Stacy Cox, Decay Mag
“First-time feature director Opie Cooper has a keen visual style and keeps things zinging along as the likably irreverent script by Cooper, Dauphin, and Beth Kander pops various horror-movie cliches like colorful party balloons.” HK and Cult Film News
“Cooper pulls it all together for a gory climax that is dependent on good old-fashioned makeup effects. It is all engagingly put together, well played, both scary and funny in the right places and has a rare affection for its characters. I, for one, await more from Opie Cooper.” Richard Scheib, Moria
