Abominable

No review content available.

I knew this was going to be a great experience when I immediately saw 2 random people wandering in the background of the "opening kill"... . Abominable doesn't really have anything going for it. But I would argue that this is a "so bad, it's good"-movie. There's so many things wrong with it that I honestly had a smile on my face throughout the entire viewing. Characters give weird exposition and try to build some story while I'm sitting there, wondering why the time of day changes 3-4 times over the course of 10 seconds. Scenes that were obviously supposed to be filmed during dusk or night are filmed in broad daylight but the characters act like it's dark as hell. Random kills that add nothing. Plastic guns. Weird, hand-held camera movements that confuse the hell out of me. I honestly enjoyed this movie. But is it bad in nearly every regard? Absolutely.

Dr. Martin leaves a horrible tape recording in a remote location. An extraction team has been sent in, but they are late. Dr. Smith is looking to get the yeti plant with its curative properties. One guy wants to shoot the yeti, you would think they would work together, but they don't. The soundtrack was a replaying of the same rift over and over again attempting to build tension. It just got annoying. Acting and dialogue were bad. We do see the yeti up close while many scenes were "White Fang" style where we just see the hand and Soupy Sales fighting him off. The attempt to make this a timeless isolated place didn't work. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

The movie itself is low budget so expectations should be in line with that I always think when trying to do a fair review. Photography was decent enough and did not look like a film student made it as one of the other reviewers has suggested and the gore scenes particularly the chin ripper scene was actually quite well done....however.... Unfortunately the thing that makes this movie hard to watch are the overdone music/sound effects they are very intrusive and sometimes dominate entire scenes and dialogue; its as if the director heard the sequence and was so impressed he decided to use the same musical sequence over and over again in every scene. Add to that the poor acting, plodding pace and dull script this one is a bit of a lame turkey!
