    Jaws on the Slopes

    For a low budget, made-for-TV movie from 1977, this one packs quite a wallop. Sure, we never really get to see the monster and there is an abundance of non-professional extras on hand, but the lead performances (Bo Svenson, Yvette Mimieux and Clint Walker) are just fine. There are two very strong qualities which take this film into the recommendable range. One is the excellent location photography. Sure, the Colorado mountains are gorgeous, but the stedicam work around the slopes really add to the tension. Second is the musical score. It is just excellent, so far about the norm for a TV movie of the era. I don't have the composer credit at hand, but it's my guess that there was a connection between him and Joseph Stefano, who wrote the film and was a veteran of Outer Limits, also noted for its engaging musical score. Anyway, between the music and the swooping camera work, this film is often genuinely creepy, almost from the first few minutes. And bless her sweet soul, isn't Yvette gorgeous? She sure grew from the Time Machine into a beautiful woman. Final word: it's hard not to notice the plot similarity between this feature and Jaws. Made two years after the Spielberg classic, we're still dealing with a monster on the loose and a town that doesn't want to admit it for fear of losing tourist dollars. Maybe Jaws on the Slopes would be a good subtitle here.

    A TV 1977 beast

    An annual Colorado skiing event is terrorised by a Yeti.

    Over the years, I've revisited Snowbeast more times than I care to admit. I first caught it as a child, long before Blu-ray or YouTube, and the film etched itself into memory. For some, it was just another TV movie, but for me-growing up on Tales from the Darkside, Creepshow, and Tales from the Crypt-it struck a chord. Monsters were my entry point into horror, and this snowbound Yeti tale felt both familiar and unsettling.

    The film was shown a number of times on UK television, including 20 September 1980 (LWT), 7 August 1987 (LWT), 22 June 1997 (LWT), 24 June 1997 (Sci-Fi Channel Europe), 19 May 1999 (Sci-Fi Channel Europe), and 13 August 2000 (Channel 5). I'm not certain whether I first caught it on one of these airings or via a VHS recording of the UK broadcast. It wasn't available on UK home entertainment releases until 2004 and 2009, so any viewing at that time would have been from TV broadcasts or personal recordings.

    Not to be confused with 2011's Snow Beast, veteran TV director Herb Wallerstein's 1977 NBC outing is a competently made, poor man's TV version of Jaws, but it tries hard reach the summer blockbuster's depth, tension, and flair.

    Written by Joseph Stefano (who wrote the screenplay for Psycho), it offers the expected slow, talky dialogue, which is broken up by the occasional glimpses of the Yeti, a Bigfoot-like Snow Beast. Robert Prince's music is fitting, notably in a setup where the beast is glimpsed at a window before smashing through it in front of a hall full of children and skiers. Endless Snow Beast POV shots aside, the snowy on-location shoot adds atmosphere, with cinematography by Frank Stanley.

    The acting is of its time, but better than today's low-budget attempts. The man in a suit and real-looking blood is still more effective than the bad CGI Syfy Channel productions currently being put out. It has higher-than-usual production values, especially considering it's a made-for-television movie.

    As Yeti films go, it's worth checking out-particularly for those wanting a 1970s fashion nostalgia ride.

    For those who still hear the call of this snowbound cryptid, the USA's Retromedia released a Blu-ray in 2018; Makeflix reissued a BD-R in 2024 offering both the 72-minute and restored longer versions, which is probably your best bet.

    Rating- 3 stars*** out of 5

    What else could you ask for a man dressed in a bigfoot-yeti-sasqutach like costume. I have never seen a film about that ledgenary creature but here it is Snowbeast. Not a great title but still okay. It's about that Bigfoot like creature killing skiers at a ski resort in Colorado. Bo Svenson, Vvitte Mineux, Clint Walker and Robert Logan leap into pursuit to stop it. Silva Syndey co-stars. Although the films looks rather like Jaws in some ways. I once had to think Joseph Stefano did great on Psycho why would he try to copy Jaws? Also it's failing of Direction leads to not so great suspense. But it's music by Robert Prince was okay. So if you hav'nt seen a movie about the legendary creature go out and rent it it's not all that bad. Filmed in 1977. Mostly played on T.V but was released to theaters in small quanties.

    Enjoyable If You Don't Expect Too Much

    I loved Snowbeast when I first saw it. It could never be accused of being a great film but it is very good.

    Some Sasquatch type creature is butchering people staying at a ski resort and no-one seems to be able to locate it or kill it. Throughout the movie it kills people and causes some carnage.

    You don't actually get many glimpses of the monster. You will see a claw here or there but if memory serves me right, you actually only get split second glimpses of it's face at the end when it is cornered by the good guys. Of course, this doesn't spoil the movie; on the contrary, I think it helps that you don't see the monster every five minutes, it makes the whole thing more authentic. It's much better to hear a few growls here and there and to see the victims reactions.

    I recommend Snowbeast to anyone. If you notice it on the TV, make sure you record it.

    "It Wasn't An Animal, And It Wasn't Human Either!"...

    SNOWBEAST is about the Rill Ski Lodge, its 50th anniversary celebration, and the huge, hairy monster that wrecks it all.

    The wanton slaughter starts right away, leaving unwary skiers slumped on the slopes. Of course, lodge owner, Carrie Rill (Sylvia Sidney) won't entertain the idea of closing the place down. After all, what are a few deaths, when a winter carnival is at stake?

    Enter Gar and Ellen Seberg (Bo Svenson and Yvette Mimieux). He's an 8 foot tall man in need of a job and a confidence boost, and she's his long-suffering wife. Can they put their soap opera marriage on hold long enough for Gar to help track the creature? When 9 foot tall Sheriff Paraday (Clint Walker) gets involved, it takes a while to convince him, and then the hunt is on.

    As made-for-TV, killer Bigfoot movies go, this one's not too bad. It's also fairly talky, and has several lengthy shots of people just skiing along, like they're in a travelogue.

    THE BEST PARTS ARE: #1- When the beast attacks the lodge, ruining the night for the winter carnival queen! #2- The monster's assault on the sheriff's camper! The yowling yeti unleashes an avalanche of -conveniently placed- logs that defy physics and all logic, by hopping into the camper sideways!

    A frigid feast of furry fun!...

      The scene where the snowbeast attacks the town hall during the snow queen ceremony was written in to replace a previously scripted and filmed attack scene that was deemed too violent to be aired on television.
    • Patzer
      It appears that Sylvia Sidney took an unplanned fall during the gymnasium scene. She trips and falls pretty hard. It appears she may have broken an right arm in the fall.

      Gar Seberg: I quit being a skier in 1968 because the other skiers were mavericks!

    • Alternative Versionen
      The National Broadcasting Company decided it would be a little violent to have a skier fall from the ski lift and break a leg and then become a victim to the Snowbeast. In this scene, it was where the Winter Games took place. Writer Joseph Stefano and director Herb Wallerstien changed the scene to have the Snowbeast attack the town's gymnasium were they are holding a skiing contest for the snow champions. The fall from ski lift scene appears in some other versions of this film.
