So BAD I felt sorry for the actors, Jan 31 2009
By Wuchak - Published on Amazon.com
Ce commentaire est de: Yeti (DVD)
"Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon" was released for the Sci-Fi channel in 2008. It tells the story of a college football team suffering a plane crash in the Himalayas where many die, but this is only the beginning of their problems. The surviving members have no choice but to resort to cannibalism, while the cave lair of the Abominable Snowman is nearby. Horror ensues.Whoa, this has got to be the worst modern film I've seen. It certainly has some positive aspects -- the mountainous British Columbia locations, the actors, the serious vibe (everyone plays it straight and the melodramatic soundtrack backs 'em up), heck, even the Yeti costume isn't all that bad when not overexposed -- but other than these factors this film is truly godawful, so gloriously BAD you have to see it to believe it, so BAD I literally felt sorry for the actors who, again, were all giving it their best shot of seriousness.
Is it so bad it's funny? YES! I was laughing my butt off through every supposedly horrifying, dramatic and horrible-cgi scene (take note -- the CGI work is some of the worst I've ever seen). So, the film's definitely worthwhile as a so-bad-it's-funny piece. This is the only reason I can think anyone would actually be willing to buy it on dvd.
Keep in mind that I'm a very generous reviewer and have the ability to look beyond production deficiencies and glean any goodness from the heart of a film. Take for instance 2005's "Sasquatch Hunters" which, like "Yeti," is a made-for-tv grade-B Bigfoot flick. That movie is worthwhile for this type of film as detailed in my long review. The same can be said for "Abominable" and "Sasquatch Mountain" (the latter being the best of the batch).
Not so with "Yeti." This is a modern-day "Plan 9 from Outer Space." Don't trust any of the supposed 5/5 Star reviews; they're being sarcastic.
You have been warned.

So bad it's not even good bad. It's past good and back to bad., Jun 9 2009

I love LOVE bad Bigfoot movies. Even the really bad ones like "Sasquatch" are at least a fun way to kill some time while you drink enough of your favorite distillate to get happy. But this movie is on a whole different level. A low level. A really really low level. One that isn't fun.For starters, the scene portrayed on the cover isn't even remotely related to anything in the movie. The Yeti is played by a guy in a horrible white suit that looks like the fx team had about $4.50 and 20 minutes of time to pull together. It's about 5'6", but claimed to be over 9 feet tall?! In other scenes, it looks like the fx crew ripped off scenes from a bad video game. The cgi most closely resembles a really rough rough cut of a proposed Donkey Kong/Resident Evil crossover. I was too stunned to laugh or cry.
The actors are equally bad. Supposed to be a football team from "State College", these small, whiny losers look like they're more at home at that place where only D-movie actor-wannabes hang out. Thankfully, I have no idea where that place is. It's not even fun trying to figure out who dies next. I kept hoping they'd all die at once and that the cgi Yet-zombie thing would dance around for the remainder of the movie like the Ogga-Chakka baby. No dice.
Do yourself a favor and spend your money on something less painful like letting that bratty kid down the block smack you in the kneecap with a sledge hammer for a half hour or so. You'll thank me in the end.

Saw this on the sci-fi channel and it was so bad it was hysterically funny. Had to buy it and am not disappointed. Best scene - yeti catches up to someone, rips his leg off and beats him with it - classic. buy this movie.
