Sadly Over-hyped

Lack of good storyline.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

From gifted director Paul Ziller comes a starkly horrific motion picture that depicts a college football team fighting for survival against an abominable snow creature on the landscape of a frozen hell. Working from a superb screenplay by Mark L. Lester Rafael Jordan, Ziller captures the individual struggle of each group member and the personal dynamics between the characters in some sensitively observed sequences that will have audiences asking themselves, "what would I do?" Are personal integrity and human values surrendered when the fundamentals of basic survival are at stake? Profound questions indeed and this film does not shy away from asking them. The special effects are stunning, the suspense incredibly intense, and the horror unrelenting as these fragile individuals are tested to the limits of endurance, facing a terror of unimaginable power.

i remember seeing the reel for this on the soup and thinking that it might be worth checking out. i give a nod to any horror director that attempts to do something creative and interesting. Obviously this movie focuses on the elusive yeti (which i am surprised so many people never heard of lol) so it already has a lot of creature backstory developed. you may think from the somewhat decently pulled off fake plane/flight cgi and expect to see some cool detailed gory killings.... but you won't. 9 out of 10 times i prefer to see some cool oldschool prosthetic based creative effects (A la 90's Fulci, Raimi, Jackson) However, in this movie that was clearly not a good direction for them. Clearly there was not much budgeted for the yeti as it is almost contrived to look simply ridiculous and borderline humorous (although it's kind of sad when you think of the people that are employed to do "just this" got paid by whatever production company, and now it sits on their resume.) Whatever actor was hired to put on the yeti suit clearly did not research the creature much as it would be more likely to "shamble" around using its legs and its paws... at least that would be what id do. He just flails around with his arms up in the air while running like a person in a yeti costume would. And it is what it is :pDon't expect cool gore killings or deaths which would have offered some more redeeming value... they just aren't there for some reason. Overall, it's really kind of like a bad remake of "Alive" except one of the supporting characters happens to put on a yeti costume and eat the others.Plus they ate a squirrel. That's messed up.

Thats just the acting! This film is so bad that I wanted to peel out my eyes. I actually rented this out just so I could show people that a movie this bad really existed and wasn't just a myth or a spook story directors tell to there apprentices.Part of me died inside when I first saw the yeti, I cant believe that they got away with it. I mean surely, this had to of passed some sort of process to make sure the film was acceptable for viewing? how did it get approved? Its certified as a 15 but I don't believe any age group should be allowed to watch this. Should be banned to be honest.Im not going to even bother going through any of the plot because i'm not wasting any more of my time on this film. I wont get that time back! I feel like the director has robbed me of an hour or so of my life. Even writing this review is angering me slightly.All in all, this film is a time thief. So bad its untrue. Watch it, don't watch it, its entirely up to you but the warnings there and life's too short to be wasting it on this.

Mr Yeti and his ugly brother (at least I hope that's not Mrs Yeti) live in a cave in the Himalayan mountains where recently trees (just like in Canada, coincidentally) started growing, not knowing it is far too high up for them. The Yetis eat the occasional stupid explorer or tourist, but since the last ones came around in 1972, they became really hungry. Fortunately, a plane full of bad TV actors crashes nearby, and they are obviously unable to survive (I mean, they start making a tiny fire to save them from the cold while the flames on the crashed plane's wing are still five feet high, see 0:14:39 PAL runtime).Well, this monster movie has a few (unintended) funny moments, but gory effects make it unsuitable for a younger audience, while it is altogether too annoying for a mature audience, so at the end of the day, it's a cheap flick nobody really needs to watch.
