Good movie but grossly overrated

Awesome Movie

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.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

favourite line"he survived five days out here with two broken legs and you shot him in the face"a group of special needs students crash in a plane and struggle without their pop tartsthey are beyond imbecilic with about 99% of everything they do, they try to start a fire with their matches even though the plane wreckage is ablaze around them.there are so many moments where you would want to shout at the TV screen why on earth are you doing that?however to summarise it is one of those films where despite being trapped on a mountain in harsh conditions everyone remembered to do their hair and shaveoh and the one thing that got me that has not been mentioned in the post is a rescue team is hiking up there to find them, and she has the binoculars out watching a yeti pushing a piece of airplane fuselage over a cliff. this happens at night. then all of a sudden it is day time and the rescue team show up, what were those binoculars mini Hubble telescopes? because she was close enough to make out a great amount of detail.... never mind watch it if you want the laughs and the really bad cgi"i can only assume it is some sort of large ape" - said another one of the retarded passengers who lacks any skills (these apes have 3 fingers on their badly made latex hands)

A plane whose occupants are an American Football team crash lands in the Himalayas and the few survivors must band together in the wreckage of the plane and try to survive. They stack the dead bodies of their friends in the ice, and it doesn't take long for before thoughts of cannibalism enter their minds. That is until one of them spots a large snow beast dragging one of the dead bodies away. The group's real terror begins once they realize that a Yeti standing about 12 feet tall is planning on using them as a food source. Taking cues from plenty of sources, mostly the "Alive" true story and film, this Sci-Fi Channel movie comes up short on too many levels to speak of. The biggest sin is the Yeti itself is a digitally created mess that hops through the snow looking like a kangaroo more than anything someone would be scared of. And speaking of scares, there are none. Sure the red stuff hits the white snow and some severed limbs are left lying on the ice, but the monster is so stupid and unbelievable nothing else in this movie has a chance to work. The actors try hard but the script doesn't give them much to work with.

Yet: Curse of the Snow Demon I was not expecting much from at all, but while it is far from a good movie let alone a great one I have seen far worse. I give it credit for some alright acting in alternative to the hilariously bad quality I usually see, some scenes like the opening crash where effort is made to show some genuine fright and suspense and that the story is reasonably well paced. However, the monster does look terrible and didn't scare or thrill me at all, and while there is evidence of suspense and feeling in the opening crash the scene sadly suffers from cheap effects and that it is choppily edited. The script is often hilariously cheesy, the story may be paced decently but even that isn't enough to cover the over-familiarity of it all and the increasing stupidity of one too many scenes, and the characters give meaning to the phrase "cliché, cliché, cliché" and annoying ones at that. In conclusion, far from a must-see but not a must-avoid either. 4/10 Bethany Cox

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.
