Big Legend is a 2018 independent monster horror film released in 2018 by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

The newly engaged couple share a romantic night together and fall asleep, before being awoken by a slow, deliberate knock coming from within the woods.

12 months later: Tyler is released from Cowlitz County Psych Ward where his mom picks him up and takes him home.

He searches new ground and discovers signs claiming ownership by Xylon Incorporated along the perimeter saying not to enter, and also finds a massive footprint in the mud.

In the early morning, his truck is attacked and a huge creature shoves a felled tree through his windows.

He takes Tyler to a spot in the woods where centuries before, the Chinook marked their own border along the trees with special bone symbols, indicating an area not to venture into.

Tyler runs in the direction of the sound and falls into a small marsh-like clearing of smashed trees and decomposing carcasses.

They make camp, surrounded by four fire pits for protection, and take watch while trying to fish with a makeshift rod.

Tyler sets a trap at the camp and uses Eli's truck's horn to lure the Beast to the campground, then engages it in a fight.

Later, a man driving along a mountain highway sees an exhausted Tyler emerge from the trees and collapse on the road.

[3] Lee emphasized his desire to use practical effects in the film, but also to make "this one-man movie where he's on the hunt for this creature, similar to Predator".

The role of Tyler's mother was initially not in scripted, but regarding the character and the casting of Adrienne Barbeau, Lee said: "we realized maybe we needed to have something that helped people relate to what Tyler was going through...so I knew I had to bring her in and thought [Barbeau] would be great in this role in particular, because of her performances on Carnivàle".

The reviewer awards the film 8/10 stars and says "Big Legend isn’t here to change your mind about politics or make you feel some deep emotion.
