A Disappointing Continuation

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

If it wasn't for Yvette Mimieux the movie would be zero stars. Half the film is watching them ski with the person filming also on skis. They never actually show you the snow beast. Face and hands only. You go in knowing it's a low budget yeti type film. But you'd at least expect see the "monster" holding its kill at least once.

I saw this on late night tv in the early eighties. I was staying at my grandmothers house and I was in a sleeping bag. She had one of those Ye olde toilets where you had to go outside to pee. Needless to say I was to scared to go out side lest the Snowbeast would get me. There was no snow but I was too scared and peed in the sleeping bag. I'm still scared of the dark. And sleeping bags. And my grandmother. She's dead now though which is fine cause she was crazy. Also don't watch scary movies if you have to outside to pee, it may not end well.

1977 is one of my lowest rated years so I went in expecting more of the same but immediatly found myself pleasantly surprised.This 70's b-movie is set around a Colorado ski resort that comes under attack from a big yeti like creature. Nothing original, but it was done competently enough to be entertaining.Two things set this apart from others, for one it's PG! So you don't see any deaths, no violence, nothing. That for one was a weird choice but didn't seem to damage the film.Second you never actually see the monster in its entirety, in fact you barely see it at all. A shot of it's paws, a quick shot of it's face and that's literally it! You'd think this would kill a movie like this off immediatly but it actually works in the films favour. I've always said if you don't have the budget to pull something off then don't try, they didn't have the budget so were just selective as to how/where & when you see the monster. For that I tip my hat.Nothing spectacular but certainly a decent enough big foot movie.The Good:Cast do a great jobLooks greatThe Bad:Cheating antagonists....again!Fade to reds are stupidThings I Learnt From This Movie:A monster movie without a monster works better than you'd expect

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.
