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

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.

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.

"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.
