We’re pretty fascinated by the upcoming docudrama MOMO: The Missouri Monster from filmmaker Seth Breedlove, as it doesn’t appear to be like anything we’ve seen before. The film appears to serve as both a documentary about the alleged sightings of a Bigfoot-like monster in Missouri known as MOMO – a hair-covered, three-toed creature people claim to have spotted in the Star Hill forests in the summer of 1972.
To help tell this story, MOMO: The Missouri Monster also uses narrative scenes about the legend. These portions will be told in the style of a classic Grindhouse movie from the ’70s, described as being a long-lost film just recently unearthed. The documentary portions of the film will then sift the fact from fiction as it gets to the heart of the mythical creature and the strange mysteries surrounding the sightings of it.

Synopsis: The year was 1972 and the place was a tiny, quaint, riverfront town called Louisiana, Missouri. On a warm summer evening, two local kids saw a creature in their own backyard holding a dead dog. Before you could say the word “Bigfoot”, local media and police officials had pounced on the story. Overnight Louisiana became “monster central” with creature seekers and monster hunters combing the woods to look for “the thing” that the newspapers had dubbed “MOMO”. One particular family was at the center of this whirlwind of activity and as the Missouri Monster sightings began to increase, so did the negative impact on the Harrisons. In 1975, a film crew set out to tell an over-the-top, filmic version of the MOMO sightings. Due to one reason or another, this should-have-been-cult-classic was never released. Until now.
