How sad is this?

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A professor sets out to find the Yeti and organises an expedition to Tibet however a member of the team is attacked by a strange creature and is turned into a werewolf. One by one the expedition is killed with only the professor's daughter the only survivor ands it is she who will witness the Werewolf and the Yeti's life and death struggle.The Werewolf And The Yeti as it was called here in the UK starts off as a pretty standard adventure/horror but gets more & more silly as it goes along. The adventure side of the story is far more interesting and far more possibilities than the horror, but its the weaker story aspect that wins out in the end & that is a shame. Paul Naschy plays the werewolf (for the 7th time) and is actually OK, the others are also fine but no more, Vandessa has to seen she's hilarious, the violence is hardly extreme or graphic but does have a skin peeling scene that is a little bit stronger and the "battle" between the 2 title characters is a little but disappointing. The pace is what really hurts the film though, first half is desperately slow at times and will challenge all but the hardiest Euro horror fans and the dubbing is also terrible.Although a video nasty this is hardly your average "gore flick" and those looking for that will be disappointed if you can find this very rare movie. Overall watchable but no more.

This is another one of those I can't understand being labeled a "Video Nasty", though I think many would concur that the VN list doesn't make any f*cking sense anyway. So apart from that discomfiting detail, "The Werewolf and the Yeti" (aka. Night of the Howling Beast) is a relatively disjointed cluster-f*ck 'exploitation' flick among a series of related Spanish werewolf films that I have not seen...A couple of yeti-hunting explorers are attacked by a vicious, furry creature in the mountains of Tibet so a party heads out to look for them. One of the guys from earlier is seen trudging through the snow and stumbles across a pair of cave-dwelling cannibal-vampire-wolf-nymphs who get freaky and bite him - thus, transforming him into a lycanthrope during a full moon... The search party is eventually ambushed by a gang of bandits who like torturing people, so by the end there's a big-ass showdown between the surviving explorers and the bandits and "the wolfman" and a yeti...I guess my main gripe with this one is that it just looks sh*tty. Terrible day-for-night shots and werewolf transformations that cheaply mimic the primitive effects utilized in the 1941 Lon Chaney Jr. classic as well as subsequent 'wolfy' films (stationary shot as they stick fur to a guy's face and fade between 'em). There's a little bit of nudity but not nearly enough to matter all that much and the gore was weak. Plus, there was just too much going on here and it kinda lost me at times. They should've just focused more on the werewolf/yeti and those cave-sluts. That would've kept my ass entertained. In all, this one is just forgettable.More of my reviews @ http://swinesewage.blogspot.com/

In "The Werewolf and the Yeti" we follow the renowned adventures of Waldemar Daninsky across the Himalayas as he is out on an expedition to find the Yeti.Waldemar ends up getting lost in the mountains,where he meets two cannibalistic sex starved nymphos in the cave.Sleaze comes thick and fast as Naschy becomes sex slave of the women.As a result he turns into werewolf,who wreaks havoc in the mountains.The final battle between him and the Yeti is a laugh riot.Cheesy and dumb trash with a healthy dose of nudity and a little bit of gore.One unfortunate woman gets her back skinned in the film's most gruesome scene.The acting is bad and the special effects are even worse.6 out of 10.

This film stands out while looking at the DPP list of Video Nasties due to its wacky title. However, that's not to say that the film itself is one of the more interesting on the list...as it's actually just a collection of ideas, mercilessly thrown together with barely any coherence or point. Many of the ideas in the film have lead to good films in their own right; here we have a plot involving a werewolf curse (well done in The Wolf Man), a hunt for the yeti (well done in The Abominable Snowman) and a sorceress (well done in many fairy tales). However, it all feels very random and the plot running through all these ideas fails to be interesting at every turn, thus making the film very boring indeed. The story itself takes place after an expedition into the Himalayas to find living proof of the mythical Yeti. Renowned adventurer Waldemar is part of the expedition, and the story picks up when he is captured by two demon women. After being turned into both their sex slave and a werewolf, he is set free to roam the surrounding land.The plot sounds like it's going to make for a very interesting movie, which makes it all the more disappointing that this isn't. The Yeti is a creature that has lead to a load of rubbish films, including fellow Video Nasty 'Night of the Demon', and family flick 'Bigfoot and the Hendersons'. I've got to say that I came to realise during this movie that I don't like movies set in the snow very much; the location doesn't seem to make for a very interesting setting. The film is notable for the fact that it was written by and stars Jacinto Molina; also known as Paul Naschy, who is apparently a big name in Spanish horror cinema, although this the first film that I've seen from him. Despite the fact that this film was banned in the UK back in the eighties, it's not very gory; thus making it one of the disappointing entries on the list that didn't really deserve to be banned. The only real good (or bad, depending on how you look at it) scene sees a young girl skinned. Overall, I really can't recommend going out of your way to find a copy of this film. It's not easy to come by, but thankfully I didn't have to spend too much to see it.
