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!

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.

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.

..it is. Horrific sound and some useless background music which maybe it's supposed to tell you when to feel scared.

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.

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.

Some good acting, but terrible plot. Never knew who exactly this team was, why they were there, where they were. Yeti in a rubber gorilla suite was throw back to 50s. Pretty cheesy.And the why the nemesis went rogue never made sense.

Cliché of other films of its kind , only thing less wooden than the acting are the trees. 1960's special effects and dramatic choral music throughout.

"Abominable" is really low budget and a lot of the continuity seems muddled with poor production choices. I never like to come out and say a movie is bad, A lot of work and heart goes into movie making, even the low budget projects so I feel every film deserves a once over.

With this one, it was hard to get into the story, and the story isn't a bad one. A science team seeking to uncover the miracles of a special plant, reminiscent of the classic "Werewolf Of London". A yeti that is guarding the location and vicious enough to kill any and all who trespass. It is a cool story. Unfortunately there is just a lot that goes wrong.

Poor editing, the sound effects, and really bad shots of the creature that shows the suit is way to big for the actor wearing it. Now minus the "gamer" level CGI, I do give props to some decent practical effects moments. But there just isn't enough going on in "Abominable" that works out right.

'Yeti/Abominable' wastes no time with build-up or character development; we can deal with all that once the threat has been established - which it is, straight away. We catch up later with the various personalities and back-stories of the characters later on during a lull in the varied attacks from the white furred central character.

The soundtrack is very exciting, even if it is so far over-the-top compared to some of the action/gore scenes, it threatens to drift into parody. For all his low-budget scariness, there are moments where the audience is invited to empathise with the Yeti, and there are some good twists in the story.

Whilst never attempting to reinvent the shaggy monster myth, this is a commendable production, featuring some good, crisp location filming and moments of gut-wrenching gore. Despite some occasionally dodgy acting, I enjoyed it. My score is 7 out of 10.

The name of this movie does double duty as both the title and the one word review. And I gotta say, that's a really neat move. I hope this becomes a trend within the industry. This review contains no spoilers, because the entire movie, from start to finish, is spoilt.

Right around the onset of the 2020 pandemic I was at a Walmart with some friends browsing the DVD section where I first laid eyes on the intense cover art of this movie. All intensity stopped there. I expected an action packed adventure movie against a ferocious yeti in a barren landscape. Instead, this movie drones on and on with personality-less characters talking to each other in low murmurs that you can barely hear sometimes. On top of that, the camera work is shoddy, often times actors have the tops of their heads cut out of frame, and only half of the footage is color graded. Some scenes will look cinematic, on par with a T. V. movie and some look like raw footage shot by an amateur. The yeti effects look cool, but only in small amounts. In jaws you barely see the shark, in monster movies the makeup is dim lit to hide any flaws. But this movie hold the camera on the yeti for way too long in broad daylight, revealing the monster to be a rubbery costume in an obvious way. Don't get me wrong, there were some good things about the film, such as a few standout performances by Katrina Mattson as our heroine or Robert Berlin who is goes all in and chews on the scenery, in a really great way. But then you see other performances like the character "Pete" (Justin Moy) and you wonder how this movie even got released. I saw this with a friend and at one point "Pete" blurts out a whole sentence so fast that it's all incomprehensible, causing my friend to yell at my T. V. and say "did the director yell cut after take 1 ?" which is a fair question. There's some decent performing here, and some potential with this story, but the lackluster camera work/editing/lighting leads me to believe that this production simply hired the wrong director for the job.

Everything is abominable about this movie: the script, the acting, the dialogues, the score, the visual effects, the cameraworks, everything. I wouldn't rate it any higher even if this was the work of some amateur filmmakers at their first attempt. But the worst part of all is that someone in Japan decided that this movie should be shown in cinemas and charge people for it.

Was this a joke, or maybe a failed parody? It's hard to believe that anyone involved was content with the result, let alone proud of it. I kept checking the year of production: it really says 2020, but it easily could have been 1980. What can I say? The script was chaotic, with head nor tail, the characters were uncharismatic and interchangeable, the acting was basically non-existent. And the pivotal monster was an all too obvious person in a cheap fluffy suit. The whole production had this dull and lacklustre veil hanging over it, everyone seemingly going through the intended motions without any spirit or conviction. The only positive thing was the occasional gore, which was quite well done. But that had earned a much better vehicle, in this amateurish movie now even that fell ignominiously flat.

Lost me when I realized that their so called "beacons" were actually bench grinders. Nice attempt though.

About 17 minutes into this movie, you can tell the "Yeti" was wearing a jacket, coat, whatever. You could see the end of the sleeve at the wrist.
