I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

How is it that I don't review any movies on here in like forever, and the first two I do all summer end up being obscure titles with Robert Logan in them?? Weird. Anyway, I sat through this 1977 small screen epic yesterday morning, and came away a bit disappointed. I recall there were plenty of decent tv movies when I was a kid. Don't Go To Sleep, Disaster on the Coast Liner, and perhaps the greatest of them all... Dark Night of the Scarecrow, but Snowbeast is nowhere near those in quality. It is a missed opportunity on many fronts. It takes an interesting premise, a solid cast of typical supporting players, a potentially frightening creature, and just ends up boring the audience. The concept of a yeti, or bigfoot has been the stuff of legends for many years here in America. So many people claim to have seen one, and many are still trying to prove its existence. But would he be some terrifying beast, or some harmless big ape-like animal? Well, this film shows him (or mostly doesn't show him) as being a blood-thirsty almost bear-like creature who attacks and kills humans on sight! Mostly skiers who ski too close are his victims. And of course the local town is doing some sort of big celebration or something common in these 70s monster movies such as Tentacles, Piranha, or others. This puts even more people in peril. Can a former Olympic Skier, his wife, the local law enforcement, and the resort owner's son team up to stop him??Snowbeast is at least an improvement over 1970's Bigfoot, but that is hardly an accomplishment. Way too much time is spent watching people ski or ride around on snowmobiles. The photography is poor, and that is hard to believe with beautiful Colorado scenery as the backdrop. Oddly enough, when we do get brief glimpses of the beast, he looks quite scary! But they hardly show him. Not too much gore, but more than an average tv movie probably had back then. Another downfall is the running time. With commercials thrown in, this thing doesn't have the goods to hold interest for two whole hours. There are at least two Scooby Doo episodes with this same basic plot, and they are more worth your time. 4 of 10 stars. The Hound.

A bigfoot-type creature in the snow upsets people on holiday.Generally speaking, I don't review horror films but the horror element here is very mild, in fact this could almost be described as a dumbed down episode of The Outer Limits (1963-65) but filmed in colour. In fact Outer Limits writer Joseph Stefano wrote Snowbeast.The music here is vital as we hear so much of it, the composer also scored TV's Fantastic Journey (1977) and Wonder Woman (1978) so he really knew what to do with music in fantasy TV.The snow locations, the music, the creature itself all come together to make this well worth watching, but maybe they could have cut out about 10 minutes of character-making conversation (aka small talk) as I found myself looking at my watch a few times. But all in all: good stuff!

Not that great but not that bad. I thought it might be better considering the cast list. Then of course there is the script to consider also. They did a great job hiding the beast it's self. They used edge shots and a couple of long distance ones to portray, oh wait not really, the beast, plus the standard footprints in the snow. Why it would come out and start killing now is never addressed, especially why it is using humans as a food source. Bo Svenson and Yvette Mimieux play a married couple who have come to the ski lodge for Bo, an Olympic gold medalist, to ask for a job. Clint Walker is the sheriff and buys in to the beast about half way through the movie. This is after several people are killed and stashed in a barn as a larder for the beast. Poor old Clint gets killed in a calculated attack by the animal (?), Bo heads out to track it down, finds it and the beast ends up being killed from gun shots and a long fall . Even here there is no shot of the body so it is left to ones imagination as to what it looks like.

A ski lodge somewhere in the Colorado mountains is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary when a report comes in to the owner, "Tony Rill" (Robert Logan) that a girl has been attacked by a vicious beast of some kind. Not wanting to alarm the public he keeps the information low-key while he and 3 other men go to investigate. He finds the jacket of the missing girl and thinks he sees something big and fast moving in the trees. Not long afterward the local sheriff, "Sheriff Paraday" (Clint Walker) gets a disturbing report that a body of a girl has been found viciously mauled to death in a barn. Meanwhile, a gold-medal winning skier named "Gar Seberg" (Bo Svenson) and his wife "Ellen Seberg" (Yvette Mimieux) have arrived at the ski lodge and they join the sheriff and Tony in the hunt for "Bigfoot". At any rate, for a made-for-television movie this particular film wasn't too bad. I liked the performances of both Clint Walker and Yvette Mimieux along with the way the director (Herb Wallerstein) captured the cold winter climate. Unfortunately, the action was rather weak and the special effects left much to be desired. Additionally, there were several parts of the film that were just plain boring. All things considered, I rate it as slightly below average.
