Snow Beast

A Noteable and Worthy addition into Cinema Du Sasquatch.
Ok, I'm a sucker for Bigfoot movies. I LOVE the subject matter and how cool is the legend of Bigfoot? This movie DOES contain some special magic to it. First off, hats off to John Schneider for a really good performance in this little fable. He really carries off his character well and has such a likeable screen presence that you can't help but actually care about his character. Another noteable atribute is the gorgeous cinematography. The film encompasses such a "rustic" feel that you kind of want to watch this with the fireplace going and a hot cup of chocolate. The scenes of the forest and mountains with the snow are really impressive for a film in this genre. Another thing I really liked about this was, it DOES contain violence, but does'nt go over the top with it. Also, the absence of profanity was a welcome addition as well. From what I gathered, the producers of this film went out to make a traditional "monster movie" that could have been made just the same about 50...

don't go looking for the yeti, stupid
This seemed like a PG-type horror movie, and it starred John Schneider, so I bought this to watch with my elderly parents. We spent the majority of the film commenting on the typical horror film stupidity of the various characters--i.e., inability to run away from the monster without falling over, thereby making themselves easy prey;the monster is hiding just out of sight of the hero; someone gets the stupid idea to take the only means of transport for the group and the only (halfway)gun and go looking for the beast while everyone else is asleep, then LEAVES the gun in the truck (and gets killed, duh); the hero tries to get help but puts the remaining survivors in a worse situation than before...and on it goes.
If you love bigfoot movies, by all means, go ahead and watch this film.
The yeti-creature doesn't look half-bad, even if I didn't find it particularly scary, and the scenery is beautiful.

A good reboot but lacking originals edge.
I am a big fan of the original film with Bo Svenson And when I found this one day and rented it was happy with what I watched. It Didn't have the same creature handling as the first one ( classic don't see the creature to the end formula) And You can see the hard recovery of Jason London in his face, but he does give a solid performance. Now if we could only take the original and thisd one and combined them for a awesome film...
