Watch Snowbeast For Free

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Half-human, half-animal! A ravenous creature stalks and kills. . . presenting problems for a Snow Carnival at a Colorado ski resort. A Winter Olympics gold medal ski champ Gar Seberg (Bo Svenson) and his wife Ellen (Yvette Mimieux) return to his childhood home town in the Colorado Rockies. The annual winter festival is being spoiled by the disappearances of early vacationers. The faded Olympic star is hoping that his skiing skills can land him a much needed job. The local sheriff (Clint Walker) spreads the story that the rash of brutal killings is caused by a hungry bear. Meanwhile, the ski resort gives Gar a job to hunt down a horrid monster believed seen in the area. Eyewitnesses are certain they have seen a Yeti!Since made-for-TV, this film has no real blood and guts. . . any suspense is waiting to get a glimpse of the creature doing the mauling. Also in the cast: Robert Logan, Sylvia Sidney, Kathy Christopher, Jacquie Botts and Michael J. London (The Snowbeast).

I saw this on late night tv in the early eighties. I was staying at my grandmothers house and I was in a sleeping bag. She had one of those Ye olde toilets where you had to go outside to pee. Needless to say I was to scared to go out side lest the Snowbeast would get me. There was no snow but I was too scared and peed in the sleeping bag. I'm still scared of the dark. And sleeping bags. And my grandmother. She's dead now though which is fine cause she was crazy. Also don't watch scary movies if you have to outside to pee, it may not end well.

Not that great but not that bad. I thought it might be better considering the cast list. Then of course there is the script to consider also. They did a great job hiding the beast it's self. They used edge shots and a couple of long distance ones to portray, oh wait not really, the beast, plus the standard footprints in the snow. Why it would come out and start killing now is never addressed, especially why it is using humans as a food source. Bo Svenson and Yvette Mimieux play a married couple who have come to the ski lodge for Bo, an Olympic gold medalist, to ask for a job. Clint Walker is the sheriff and buys in to the beast about half way through the movie. This is after several people are killed and stashed in a barn as a larder for the beast. Poor old Clint gets killed in a calculated attack by the animal (?), Bo heads out to track it down, finds it and the beast ends up being killed from gun shots and a long fall . Even here there is no shot of the body so it is left to ones imagination as to what it looks like.

Mediocre Jaws variant has a Yeti terrorising a ski resort in midwinter during its anniversary celebrations. No one on the resort staff, nor police, want to believe anything is wrong and close the place down and lose all of the money coming in, so skiers line up to be Saqsuatch-bait in this watchable but forgettable TV-movie of the week.A couple of semi-grisly deaths, beautiful scenery on the snow-covered mountains, are all in the film's favour, but too much soap opera background noise brings it down considerably. The creature is rarely seen, always obscured by snow drifts or darkness, or through the use of lurking POV shots, which, on one hand is effective handling of it, but after a while becomes most disappointing, especially when we don't even get a look at the creature after it is killed.
