Two things to know about this film; one- if you are trapped in a cabin over night, your make-up will remain fully intact and two- car horns do little to dissuade angry Yeti.
Plot: On the mountains of a ski village in Colorado, there's something a foot (a foot-big foot...ha ha ha). Skiers seem to be vanishing and strangely for a film of this type, it takes very little time for a core group of monster hunters to form a posse. With bloody ski suits appearing on the slopes and body parts residing in abandoned cabins, the village owner, his mate- the former Olympic Ski Champ and his wife, set about hunting after the crazed beast.
Using point of view shots throughout the majority of the film, this story manages to capitalize on its made for TV budget and leaves the beast almost entirely to the viewers imagination, but when we do see some body parts, we are not disappointed. The face is reminiscent of the creature that attacks Luke on Hoth (Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back) and lends some creativity to a genre that often lacks. Steeped in the Bigfoot controversy, Snowbeast is a Yeti film, without the mention of it.
Pretty good all told. Really. It wasn't bad at all.
Budget: $?
Gross: $ TV Release.
Fun Fact: The script was written based on film maker Roger Patterson's encounter and footage of Bigfoot (you know the one, where Bigfoot is striding happily through the forest and accidentally gets on camera).
