Creature Feature Collection

Contains: Snow Beast, Monsterwolf, Swamp Shark | Released by Signature Entertainment

Signature Entertainment re-release three of their Tesco-exclusive creature features in a special three pack which is now available at all good retailers. We’ve previously reviewed two of the three so I thought I’d repost those together here just in case you’re wondering whether this new collection is worth picking up (Hint: If you love cheesy monster movies and crazy killer-shark flicks it most definitely is!). So without further ado, here’s reviews of Snow Beast and Swamp Shark:

Snow Beast (2011)

Stars: John Schneider, Jason London, Danielle Chuchran, Paul D. Hunt, Kari Hawker | Written by Brittany Wiscombe | Directed by Brian Brough

Snow Beast, shot in 2011, and not to be confused with the 1977 TV movieSnowbeast which starred Bo Svenson and Yvette Mimieux, and is set in the same locale (a snowy hillside) and featuring almost exactly the same plot,...

Director: Brian Brough.

Writer: Brittany Wiscombe.

Snow Beast is a sasquatch-ploitation film that was released on DVD October 4th. This b-movie styled film also has a date with destiny January, 2012 when the film will have a television premiere on the SyFy Network. This film stars John Schneider and Jason London in a creature feature flick that involves a bear hugging Yeti and characters wandering about the woods oblivious to this white haired menace. Truly comedic, Snow Beast has to be seen to enjoy all the humour housed within.

Several researchers head up to Canada to complete their study on lynxes. Something strange is afoot however as all of the animals in the area have begun to disappear, including people. Those hiking in the woods or stopping for a piddle are soon consumed by a seven foot animal that looks straight out of Empire Strikes Back (a wampa). Did they borrow the same suit?...

Snow Beast (2011)

Stars: John Schneider, Jason London, Danielle Chuchran, Paul D. Hunt, Kari Hawker | Written by Brittany Wiscombe | Directed by Brian Brough

Snow Beast, shot in 2011, and not to be confused with the 1977 TV movie Snowbeast which starred Bo Svenson and Yvette Mimieux, and is set in the same locale (a snowy hillside) and featuring almost exactly the same plot, stars Smallville‘s John Schneider as wildlife researcher Jim who, along with his team head up to the mountains every year to study the Canadian Lynx. Only this year things are a little different – for one Jim has to take his rebelling 16 year-old daughter, Emmy (Chuchran), with him and two, all the lynx are missing. As Jim and his team, along with a local forest ranger played by a sweaty-looking Jason London, try to find out why, something stalks them, a predator, a hunter, a Snowbeast! (and yes I am...

The latest poster for Brian Brough's Snow Beast tells horror fans: "survival is everything." But staying alive might be difficult in Archstone Entertainment's latest, as a seven foot tall Yeti claws at and possibly through John Schneider as Jim and Jason London as Barry.

The trailer for...

Nothing says guilty pleasure like a seven foot tall man in a furry suit. Archstone Distribution's Snow Beast offers just this, as the famed Yeti of lore comes to life. Hoping to paw off John Schneider's head in this first trailer, Snow Beast warns people not to travel into the frozen wilderness without your funny bone. Have an early look at Snow Beast below, in what could be the best trailer ever!

Brian Brough is in post-production on what sound to be a Yeti project called Snow Beast . Low budget creature feature staples John Schneider and Jason London star in this tale of a massive, bloodthirsty snow creature that strikes terror in a remote Canadian town when it starts slaughtering of animals and townsfolk. When a group of scientists investigate with the help of a local policeman, they are trapped by a terrible blizzard and must face off against the cold blooded beast! Danielle Chuchran also stars. Brittany Wiscombe penned the script; she also wrote Brough's previous directing effort Scents and Sensibility . Snow Beast , I'm sure we'll see you on SyFy soon!

There was a 1977 TV movie called Snowbeast about a killer Yeti terrorizing a Colorado ski resort. You barely saw the monster at all. Now there's a new killer Yeti movie called Snow Beast, starring John Schneider and Jason London, and you'll see 100 times more monster in this trailer than in all of that Seventies flick.

People disappear every year out in the snow--but this year, something is adding to the body count. Jim (John Schneider) and his research team study the Canadian lynx every year. This year he has to take his rebelling 16-year-old daughter, Emmy, with him. But the lynx are missing. As Jim and his team try to find why, something stalks them--a predator no prey can escape.

Directed by Brian Brough (Christmas Angel) from a script by Brittany Wiscombe (Christmas Angel), my natural assumption would be that Snow Beast is destined for Syfy, but given that the...
