Sorry, this movie sucks

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Not documentary style! I hate POV jiggle cam movies. Also - you get to see the actual monster. Great makeup! Acting is better than those home movie Big Foot / Yeti things, and the ending is fun too. I'm sure if this was being reviewed by a 'name your gender' professional reviewer, it would be dreck, but for the rest of us, it's a fun and not too gory trip.

From the moment I rented this I wondered why I had bothered. I had very low expectations of it and was feeling as though I'd live to regret my decision. (On the other hand, the rental only cost me the grand total of 25 cents, so what's really to complain about?) As it turned out, and to my surprise, I didn't regret this. It's actually not a bad movie. Sure, it's silly, but I expected that. What I didn't expect was that it's a decent enough story, and it has a few moments that really do make you jump. The setting (a couple of homes located deep in the woods) is used to pretty good effect as the "creature" rustles through the trees and the creature itself (although the costume is a bit cheesy) isn't bad. It's a sasquatch-yeti type of beast on a rampage. Lots of people die, some of it is pretty graphic (if at times laughable in a gore-soaked sort of way - such as when Otis gets half his head bitten off) and the hero (Preston, played by Matt McCoy) is a likable enough guy.One thing I appreciated (especially since one of the cabins was populated by a group of young, attractive women) was that there was surprisingly little nudity. There was just one scene that included one of the women naked. It wasn't necessary to the story, but I guess in a movie of this type it's inevitable. But it wasn't overdone, to the credit of the writers.Beginnings and ending of movies mean a lot to me. I liked the opening scenes of this, where the creature makes its first appearance. Unfortunately, I didn't like the closing. I'd have ended with Preston and Amanda, and not gone on for a few more minutes with the cops searching the woods - and their rather surprising find, which came across as unnecessarily and actually left me feeling a bit like I had the wind knocked out of me after an hour and a half of a pretty enjoyable story. (6/10)

From new director Ryan Schifrin comes the Bigfoot/Yeti film, Abominable. Preston Rogers (played wonderfully by Matt McCoy) lost his wife and be came paralyzed on Suicide Rock in Flatwood. Now, he returns to Flatwood with Otis Wilhelm (who is played by newcomer Christien Tinsley) for treatment. Also arriving is a group of young women (which includes scream queen Tiffany Shepis). As time goes by Preston realizes there something is in the woods, something big. He tries to explain it to Otis and the local authorities, but no one believes him. That is until it comes out of the woods very unhappy and very hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although it stole a little for the Hitchcock classic Rear Window, Abominable was a pleasant surprise. Having an intelligent and original story filled with blood & guts and shocks, it had everything a creature feature needed and more. So if your looking for a scary, bloody, suspenseful evening, pop some popcorn and watch Abominable. Also starring horror legends Jeffery Combs( The Re-Animator franchise, From Beyond, and The Frighteners), Dee Wallace (Cujo, The Frighteners, Critters and The Howling), and Lance Henriksen (Aliens, Alien 3, AvP, Omen 2, Pirahna 2, Near Dark, Pumpkinhead, The Terminator, and many more). I wish they made more horror movies like this!!!

This film was okay. But kind of awkward when you think of it. I mean it is supposed to be about Bigfoot and how he survives out in the wild, not about him killing innocent people. That was kind of brutal of him going around to different places around his territory killing people and then eating them. That was sick and cruel to see. But that's what makes a real good horror film. I thought this would be of Bigfoot trying to get people scared of him so that he could be popular and have a legend not of him in the woods killing people! This film didn't even have any CGI in it it only had a man in a costume running around scaring the girls and guys to death. There was a lot of blood and gore in the film especially around the mouth of the creature. I thought the film should have used a bit of CGI in it instead of a guy in a costume acting and scaring lots of girls!
