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

Leofwine_draca There was a wave of films about the abominable snowman back in the 1950s and this is one of the weaker efforts. A typical B-movie, it takes an age for the film to get going and when the Yeti finally does make an appearance it's just an ordinary guy in a very poor-fitting monster suit. A cast of wooden and cliched characters spend a heck of a long time discussing various pressing and non-pressing issues before the snowman is shipped off to Los Angeles, where it escapes from cold storage and goes on a low rent rampage. This reminded me of the Lon Chaney Jr. vehicle THE INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN and is of a similar quality.

daikaiju1954 Here is another low-budget B movie for the snow pile. Brought to you by W. Lee Wilder who gave use such films as Phantom from Space(1953) and the Killers from Space(1954). The movie starts out with an expedition to the Himalayas, but they find and capture a yeti and bring it back to civilization.I am very interested into cryptozoological(study of hidden animals) creatures such as the Yeti, Bigfoot, Nessie and many others. Although this is the first movie about the Yeti it is also one of the worst. There's no science offered to either explain the monster's existence or to deal with him. It is more or less a rip-off of King Kong(1933) and the Los Angeles sewer scene from Them(1954). The ending is very anti-climatic too. We are not given any reason to feel sorry for the Yeti and he is just netted and shot dead, movie over.

gavin6942 American botanical expedition in the Himalayas stumbles across a Yeti den, capture one and transport it back to Los Angeles, where it escapes while customs officials are debating whether it is animal or human.From the relatives of Billy Wilder comes this crazy horror flick, and I must say the film and sound quality of this movie are impeccable. The yeti has a simple but effective costume. And all in all this movie is far better than anyone should expect from its age, budget, crew and cast.The film also raises an interesting question: what does it mean to be human? The government has to decide if the yeti is human or not. While it is clearly not human in the same physical sense we are, is that what makes us human? The film suggests that a creature with a "calculating mind" could be human... an interesting definition.

lemon_magic W. Lee Wilder may not have had his brother's level of talent, but he did have enough to come up with interesting premises (in this case, what seems to be the first movie about the abominable snowman) and the occasional interesting shot or composition. What he didn't seem to have, at least in this movie, was a sense of pacing, or a sense of what to include and omit, or (apparently) even a budget, given the incredibly annoying overuse of several completely unconvincing frames of his "creature" emerging from the darkness and then retreating back into it(seemingly by reversing the film). Seriously,they must have used this 3 second sequence 20 times or more, and it barely worked the first time. This is very symptomatic of the movie's poverty of invention. The screenplay itself has plot holes you could drive a Himalayan expedition through. Most of the "action" in the first half of the movie consists of either silent climbing sequences, or master shots of people sleeping and talking inside their tents. And then after the creature is captured and shipped to Los Angeles, it escapes, and the whole thing turns into a police procedural/storm drain chase that would make the writers of "The Indestructible Man" giggle uncontrollably in derision. (At least IM had Lon Chaney Jr, and a flame thrower and a bazooka). The actors don't have anything to work with here. Basically, every main character is either unlikable or dumber that dirt. The yeti itself is totally unconvincing - the costume appears to be a shaggy rug wrapped around a tall, slender actor. Don't waste your time with this one. It's not good enough to watch as a movie, and it's not bad enough to be any fun.
