Abominable

Holy (insert swear word). I'm watching a film that I can only assume was off the back of a bet, the loser having to make it. Abominable is both the film title and my description of it.

You might love this movie! Provided you like to watch films made 1st year students who are trying to figure out how After Effects works. Definatelly for fans of low/no budget movies with too much time on theri hands.

I knew this was going to be a great experience when I immediately saw 2 random people wandering in the background of the "opening kill"... .

Abominable doesn't really have anything going for it. But I would argue that this is a "so bad, it's good"-movie. There's so many things wrong with it that I honestly had a smile on my face throughout the entire viewing.

Characters give weird exposition and try to build some story while I'm sitting there, wondering why the time of day changes 3-4 times over the course of 10 seconds. Scenes that were obviously supposed to be filmed during dusk or night are filmed in broad daylight but the characters act like it's dark as hell.

Random kills that add nothing. Plastic guns. Weird, hand-held camera movements that confuse the hell out of me.

I honestly enjoyed this movie. But is it bad in nearly every regard? Absolutely.

The movie itself is low budget so expectations should be in line with that I always think when trying to do a fair review.

Photography was decent enough and did not look like a film student made it as one of the other reviewers has suggested and the gore scenes particularly the chin ripper scene was actually quite well done....however....

Unfortunately the thing that makes this movie hard to watch are the overdone music/sound effects they are very intrusive and sometimes dominate entire scenes and dialogue; its as if the director heard the sequence and was so impressed he decided to use the same musical sequence over and over again in every scene.

Add to that the poor acting, plodding pace and dull script this one is a bit of a lame turkey!

Now I love a bad horror movie, but this is just bad. "Old Snow" she says by tasting it... and I'm pretty sure at one point one of them said the wrong line, then corrected themselves and they left both in 😂 something along the lines of "Strict orders, I mean Direct orders".

It's almost like someone watch Anaconda 2 and thought "Hmmm a plant that cures illnesses, I'm going to copy this but instead of snakes in a tropical jungle I'll make it a Snow movie with a Yeti who can't blink or close his mouth".

I don't know what Viktir Ackeev did to the editor, but his name was the only one not in capitals. Poor bloke.
