This plane-crash creature feature is fun to watch simply to count the Things People Would Never Do. For instance: 1. Search for matches when several fires are already burning 2. Leave clothes on dead bodies when live ones are freezing 3. Use one of 12 matches per day to start a fire and then let it go out at night These football jocks and their support staff are not scripted as stupid, but their actions prove otherwise. In fact, this bunch couldn't survive in a New York City snow storm, let alone the Himalayas. Of course, maybe the setting is supposed to be an alternate-universe Himalayas. I mean, the ground isn't so frozen that the characters can't dig a deep pit while the creature is asleep. (And would people really do this to trap a monster that can jump like a giant flea?) Most of the actors give this silliness their best effort, which only serves to make the on- the-cheap yeti costume and CGI more glaringly chintzy. The action does move along, and the incongruities never cease. So, sitting through this off-the-wall offering doesn't really have to be a curse.

Ed Wood is either still alive or has been reincarnated to make hilariously bad movies for the Syfy channel. This movie is so bad, that it's great. A 747 flying from the USA to play in Japan somehow mysteriously ends up flying over the Himalayas. Anyway, we see a plane crash which is a direct copy of the crash in 'Alive', and a group of survivors dressed in jeans and T shirts wandering about looking for means to start a fire, all despite the fact there's wreckage still burning all around them. The Himalaya search team consists of a man and woman, both Americans, being dropped off, while their helicopter flies off and doesn't join in the search. The Yetis manage to combine limping along with 40 foot leaps, all while carrying off the dead, or the female lead. Rabbits being harpooned (standard issue on this flight). A poor pilot who is clearly dying, but shaken awake so violently that he would likely die of that instead. Great to see that the searchers took along a couple of Glocks, just in case. This movie is a must see, just for the most ridiculous final 20 minutes when the survivors battle the yeti's, and to see someone beaten to death with their own leg.

favourite line "he survived five days out here with two broken legs and you shot him in the face" a group of special needs students crash in a plane and struggle without their pop tarts they are beyond imbecilic with about 99% of everything they do, they try to start a fire with their matches even though the plane wreckage is ablaze around them. there are so many moments where you would want to shout at the TV screen why on earth are you doing that? however to summarise it is one of those films where despite being trapped on a mountain in harsh conditions everyone remembered to do their hair and shave oh and the one thing that got me that has not been mentioned in the post is a rescue team is hiking up there to find them, and she has the binoculars out watching a yeti pushing a piece of airplane fuselage over a cliff. this happens at night. then all of a sudden it is day time and the rescue team show up, what were those binoculars mini Hubble telescopes? because she was close enough to make out a great amount of detail.... never mind watch it if you want the laughs and the really bad cgi "i can only assume it is some sort of large ape" - said another one of the retarded passengers who lacks any skills (these apes have 3 fingers on their badly made latex hands)

Its mediocre and i'm grading it for what it is A B movie now there are many problems here from the acting to the writing to the directing to the Yeti's ridiculous costume (which you can see the actors eyelids and can tell that his hands are really wobbly rubber gloves) to the point you get what i'm saying. Now this movie is about A college football team who must find a way to survive after their plane crashes on a remote mountain during a blizzard. They are heading tp a big game of course led by star Quarter Back Peyton Elway hahahhaha. O my well if you like to laugh this movie will certainly do that like the rabbit hunting scene and the weird and pointless repetitive transitions from live yeti to cgi yeti and yes you really can tell the difference like night and day. But the ending was pretty good also, I will give this movie that. I'll probably throw my copy of yeti in again sometime great crap movie fun.

Yet: Curse of the Snow Demon I was not expecting much from at all, but while it is far from a good movie let alone a great one I have seen far worse. I give it credit for some alright acting in alternative to the hilariously bad quality I usually see, some scenes like the opening crash where effort is made to show some genuine fright and suspense and that the story is reasonably well paced. However, the monster does look terrible and didn't scare or thrill me at all, and while there is evidence of suspense and feeling in the opening crash the scene sadly suffers from cheap effects and that it is choppily edited. The script is often hilariously cheesy, the story may be paced decently but even that isn't enough to cover the over-familiarity of it all and the increasing stupidity of one too many scenes, and the characters give meaning to the phrase "cliché, cliché, cliché" and annoying ones at that. In conclusion, far from a must-see but not a must-avoid either. 4/10 Bethany Cox

*** This comment contains spoilers *** Well, its the only yeti flick i have ever seen. I give this movie a 6 because it made me laugh so hard. Normally i do not care to much about that a Fantasy/Horror movie is not realistic in every detail. But Yeti:Curse of the Snow Demon is unrealistic and unlogical in every detail. Do not understand me wrong. This does not make this movie bad, it is what makes this movie entertaining. Because every new scene you will be totally amazed how wrong all that stuff is that the protagonists do to survive. They do not need a yeti. In reality they would be dead after one hour. I do not know where to start. At the beginning you see a historical scene from 1977 where a bunch of guys try to shoot a yeti. Then the pistol freezes(???) and the yeti eats them. Thats all, there is no more connection to the rest of the movie. Next scenes are making sure that you know the names of five members of a football player team which travels to japan for a match. Do not care that only two of them look like football players. The rest of them looks like math students. Then the plane crashes i a total unrealistic way. No wings, no tail, but still able to fly a few miles and land savly. For no special reason its seems important for every one to leave the wind protected rest of the plane. There is no fire or any other danger. Then the guys hanging around directly in front of the plane only dressed with jeans and t-shirts. And yes, they survive that for hours in the middle of the himalaya at -4.0 °F. The best thing is. Everybody who is injured is doomed to die. Even if only his leg is broken. There is no rescue effort for them and even if the team starts a fire, the injured have to sit in the plain and freeze to death. Again with no special reason. For example the injured pilot gets his scene where he tells where to search for the radio, then everybody leaves without a comment and he is free to die alone :). Later you will see a burned corpse from the plane crash. Which is a bit mystical because the plane did not burn and every other corps is perfectly unburned. But the best thing what i have ever seen in movies is the unbelievable rabbit chicken scene. They hunt a rabbit. Then they cook and eat a chicken. I do not know that, but is it a problem to buy a rabbit at an American supermarket if you need one for you're movie? And there is much, much more. Look forward to a movie with riped of arms used as a splint for a broken leg, fire which burns with wet wood, storms which you can not see (everybody is talking about the storm. There is no storm in the whole movie), cannibalism after two days without food, cutting frozen flesh with a piece of glass, having perfect makeup after a plane crash and five days in the woods, burning freezed corpses to ashes with a stick ... i do not know where to stop. There is no scene which is not totally wrong. Oh by the way ... the yeti looks a bit more realistic then King Kong (1933). (Yes, it is a guy in a halloween costume) If you are having fun with watching movies just to laugh about how bad they are, then its the perfect movie for you. I have enjoyed it.

The SCI-FI channel brings us another addition to the man eater series, YETI picks up with a bunch of college football players traveling by plane, whose plane crashes in the Himalayas and find themselves having to try and survive the cold and fend of a carnivorous yeti. YETI isn't something I would call a masterpiece, but it is also not one of the worst films ever made, it is mainly just a good time passer to say the least, sure it has tacky looking CGI, it has dialog that is nothing to write home about, and the yeti looks like chewbacca's angry cousin with a bad tan, the acting however is not all bad, I would say that maybe one or two cast members were not so good, and the others did all right. Overall, its a low budget made for TV movie, nothing special, but not the worst film that's out there, and it features chewbacca's angry cousin with a bad tan.

In 1972, two guys on the lookout for the elusive yeti, a mythical ape-type creature, in the Himalayas find him but are killed, now in the present day a football team flying to Japan crash land in the aforementioned mountains and meet up with the abominable creature. They must figure out a way to survive both the freezing temperatures and the rampaging beast(s). While technically one can't really call this a 'good' film (the special effects, acting & dialog are all laughably bad), I found this Sci-Fi Original to be funner then a lot of others ones that I've seen (sufferred through). Simply campy fun and a six beer minimum should be required to view it. My Grade: C+ DVD Extras: Promo trailer for this film; & trailers for Sci-fi's Maneater series of films, "Vipers", "Anamorph", & "Furnace"
