Watch Abominable For Free

Truly Dreadful Film

As Good As It Gets

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

What did you know, there is a decent Bigfoot horror film out there! It's a horror comedy and, while it's not great at either, it's perfectly decent in both aspects. Matt McCoy (a familiar face who may be most famous for playing former mental patient Lloyd Braun on Seinfeld) became paralyzed after a rock climbing accident. While spending some time in a cabin with his jerky nurse (Christien Tinsley), he observes some weird goings-on in the forest next to his house. Soon he catches sight of a sasquatch, and it starts terrorizing the sorority girls next door. So, yeah, it's Rear Window meets Bigfoot with a little bit of a Sorority House Massacre thrown in. And it's a lot of fun! Jeffrey Combs and Lance Henriksen also pop up as a couple of Bigfoot hunters, and Paul Gleason (the principal from The Breakfast Club) and Phil Morris (who also had a recurring role on Seinfeld as lawyer Jackie Chiles) play a couple of cops. The sasquatch costume is particularly laughable, but it's funny. I don't know if they decided on horror comedy before or after they got their costume from the designer.

The movie is not an intellectual rendition of Big Foot, but portrays it as a savage killer.Group of people spending their time out in the cabin and forest gets mauled by the Big Foot. One guy on a wheel chair witnesses it, but his dumb attendant thinks he's imagining things. Police are very apathetic even when they get the calls.Everything is very artificial in this movie including the cinematography. The story, the portrayal ,all screams fake including the very artificial way they up the suspense.All this makes this movie unbelievable in an unpalatable way.So thumbs down for this Big Foot movie.

First time director Ryan Schifrin also wrote this direct-to-Scy-Fy monster movie about a paraplegic confined to a cabin in the mountains. He witnesses a monster attacking a young girl in the cabin next door and decides to get involved. Schifrin managed to get Jeffrey Combs, Paul Gleason, and Lance Henriksen to star in this low budget melding of Rear Window with a generic monster movie in the woods. Henriksen and Combs are just plain awesome, though they're not in it long enough, and the leads are not nearly as strong. Truly, as Scy-Fy creature-features go, this one is a bit above the standard dreck, but it's still lacking quite a bit. The monster fx are pretty bad and most of the script is a bit difficult to wade through, but there is some decent gore and a few laughs to be had. From what I've heard, most of the Scy-Fy films are utter garbage, and this one is perhaps a healthy step above that,

Ryan Schifrin, the director of this flick wasn't well known until he appeared in Hatchet 2 as a featured hunter, uncredited but still he could say he was in Hatchet 2. I guess due that reason that suddenly Abominable came available here 5 years after its release. Still you could pick it up here immediately on the sale shelves. So that means a lot. For us Europeans Bigfoot doesn't mean a thing. Okay, you had the comedy Harry and the Hendersons concerning Bigfoot. Nevertheless, this one here also had some appearances of well known horror actors. For instance, Jeffrey Combs is in it for his faces he can make, and Lance Henriksen is in it to play the tough guy. But be aware, both are only a few moments in it. Tiffany Shepis, also one of those well known actresses in the genre is in it and guess what, you can see her again in full nudity. And there are more names, too many to mention. And that's the problem, names doesn't make a movie. Scripts do and here it fails a bit. I must say that a few killings are indeed gory but when Tiffany dies watch the blood sputtering on the wall above the window, next shot, blood is gone and those mistakes tear a flick down for me. One attack by the Sasquatch is worth mentioning, won't spoil it but you will surely recognise it. But really, nothing happens for a lot here, a few attacks and that is it. You can see the end coming once it appears, you really know what's going to happen. No suspense although the effects used and make up for the Yeti were well done. If he had made it like Hatchet well, a classic it would be but for know it is what the title says, abominable.
