This episode cracks me up. Love the documentary style...love the story. This is really a laugh out loud episode. Especially when Lassiter injures himself by stepping into a bear trap. And then the hawk comes flying down and gets the camera before dropping it. Worth a watch (especially if you have been hearing about Big Foot or Yeti your entire life like I have).

Redundant Comedic Relief
christollefson-3092016 August 2021
A fun play on the Psych formula with a few problems. The two film student characters damn near ruin the episode. Their roles as irreverent comic relief for a show who's main characters are already the irrelevant comic relief did nothing to help make it more enjoyable. Also, what was the point of the hawk-camera gag? Extra money in the special effects budget? Overall, a weaker episode but still good.
A shaky but good start!

I honestly have few complaints this episode -- aside from the way camera's worked (I find that style annoying, thanks for starting this Cloverfield) which gave me a headache.
The episode was good, funny, and even though it wasn't exactly a case and for some reason went completely far off and involved the Mafia, it was good to see Shawn & Gus being Shawn & Gus and that's honestly what made this episode great -- other than the guy who wouldn't die! -- and Lassie was amazing in this episode and the Hawk part was actually in a weird way, hilarious.
Despite not living up to all my expectations I think they deserve an 8/10 for going back to the basics and making this the best episode of the season, yet.

Lassie Jerky = wonderful comedy & parody

Perfect parody of Blair Witch project. Love the physical comedy gags of Hungry and Scared Gus, plus Injured Lassie. Also love the Latinx drops and guest stars. The plot is a bit convoluted but still very entertaining overall.
Actress couldn't carry episode
dreemr27 May 2013
I love this show and I am constantly impressed by the comedic talent they have every show, but this was not the case with this episode. Kate, playing "Kate" was so distracting with her attempt to be a funny character (not to mention her attempt to play a college aged female) I could not pay attention to anyone else. Apparently naming the character the same name as the actress did nothing to make her more realistic. I don't mean to be negative, I'm sure she is a fine actress in drama, but there are so many talented and attractive comedic actresses that could have done this role justice and made the episode enjoyable.
On another note, Lassiter's Blair Witch parody was hysterical.

Awesome parody and stand-alone episode

This is one of my favorite supernatural-themed episodes. I think the the style parodying Blair Witch project is spot-on! While the story can get convoluted at times, the humor, actors, and film-style carry it far! I love the use of more Latinx actor(s) and culture integrated into the episode,
but also the vivaciousness of the guest stars. Also, the gags throughout the episode of Gus being hungry and the main actors questioning their beliefs are so funny and true to character.
Great Episode!

Fast moving & super funny! Nice change, shooting (sometimes literally) mostly outdoors was pretty cool. Kate Rogal was hysterical! Loved her in this. Didn't see the ending of this coming, kind of a strange plot twist. The barbecue part with Gus was LOL funny! The scene where Lassiter catches that camera was great! I would love to be able to question how they did certain effects & how stunt doubles were used in this.
Annoying guest stars
freshtomatoreviews2 September 2021
Of all episodes of psyche, i've always enjoyed every single one of the episodes and i've always find the guest stars ranging from hillarious to endearing, kate rogal and that spanish guy is UNBEARABLE! Not funny, cringey, and the attempt of making her as some 'free spirit' 'european-esque' nympho really doesn't help anything with her character or whatsoever
worse guest stars and use of characters ever, i wish those two were never in this episode ever.
