A lot of fun.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It has been sighted over 42,000 times in over 68 countries. A creature of myth and legend known by several names. It's been hunted for years, but what happens when it decides to hunt us? Preston is recovering from a mountain climbing accident, trapped in a remote cabin in the woods, who sees the legendary beast, and must convince someone to believe him, before the monster goes on a bloody rampage......On first impressions, Abominable is nothing more than a hark back to the creature features of the fifties, which in themselves were nothing more than a bunch of people screaming at a man in a rubber suit.On face value, this has all the ingredients for just that, a B list actor in the lead, with some cameos from a few famous character actors, whom appear to be in a totally different film.But if you look a little deeper, this could be referred to as a pseudo remake of Rear Window, but with a legendary beast as the antagonist this time.And for the most part, it's a pretty entertaining film, McCoy is pretty endearing as the pound shop James Stewart, and you can sympathise with his struggle. Just who would believe you if you were diagnosed with a mental health condition, and claimed to have seen a Yeti on the prowl.There are some entertaining set pieces, the stand out being the siege on the adjacent house, which is technically brilliant and pretty hilarious.There are a few cameos which are pretty pointless, especially on scene which features family favourite Lance Henriksen and Jeffrey Combs, which feels like it's been pulled from another film just to put names on the one sheet to entice the viewer.Don't expect anything groundbreaking, it's nothing more than a fun ninety minutes with a man in a costume, terrorising some girls in a house, and some special guest stars.

The movie is not an intellectual rendition of Big Foot, but portrays it as a savage killer.Group of people spending their time out in the cabin and forest gets mauled by the Big Foot. One guy on a wheel chair witnesses it, but his dumb attendant thinks he's imagining things. Police are very apathetic even when they get the calls.Everything is very artificial in this movie including the cinematography. The story, the portrayal ,all screams fake including the very artificial way they up the suspense.All this makes this movie unbelievable in an unpalatable way.So thumbs down for this Big Foot movie.

Ryan Schifrin, the director of this flick wasn't well known until he appeared in Hatchet 2 as a featured hunter, uncredited but still he could say he was in Hatchet 2. I guess due that reason that suddenly Abominable came available here 5 years after its release. Still you could pick it up here immediately on the sale shelves. So that means a lot. For us Europeans Bigfoot doesn't mean a thing. Okay, you had the comedy Harry and the Hendersons concerning Bigfoot. Nevertheless, this one here also had some appearances of well known horror actors. For instance, Jeffrey Combs is in it for his faces he can make, and Lance Henriksen is in it to play the tough guy. But be aware, both are only a few moments in it. Tiffany Shepis, also one of those well known actresses in the genre is in it and guess what, you can see her again in full nudity. And there are more names, too many to mention. And that's the problem, names doesn't make a movie. Scripts do and here it fails a bit. I must say that a few killings are indeed gory but when Tiffany dies watch the blood sputtering on the wall above the window, next shot, blood is gone and those mistakes tear a flick down for me. One attack by the Sasquatch is worth mentioning, won't spoil it but you will surely recognise it. But really, nothing happens for a lot here, a few attacks and that is it. You can see the end coming once it appears, you really know what's going to happen. No suspense although the effects used and make up for the Yeti were well done. If he had made it like Hatchet well, a classic it would be but for know it is what the title says, abominable.

An entertaining, modestly budgeted B-movie about that infamous Sasquatch/Bigfoot creature roaming the woods, somewhere up there. Nothing really innovating, of course, but the important thing is that this indie-film has its heart at the right place. The creature is just a (very big) man but in a rather impressive hairy monster-suit. It's got a really big, fiercely mouth with a whole lot of pointy teeth in it, though his red eyes might have you chuckle a bit. Another natural ingredient in these type of movies (and the filmmakers know it) comes in the shape of Tiffany Shepis, generously showing all of her skin in a shower-scene. Adding a protagonist that's wheelchair-bound was also a nice angle (though done before, of course, with him not being able to leave the house while he's witnessing all the gruesome goings-on through his binoculars). Add a little bit of gore here & there and an end-shot that you just need to have in a movie like this, and you basically have a winner of a creature feature. Certainly one of the more entertaining movies about Abominable Snowbeasts and such, very likely also because this one doesn't take itself too serious. Lance Henriksen and Jeffrey Combs have fun cameos in it too.
