Hardly abominable at all...

In fact, I was actually surprised at how surprisingly decent Abominable was. Okay, it is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, the special effects are on the cheesy side and that is including the Bigfoot(I think) monster, the pacing does have its longueurs in the middle and I do think the monster could have been utilised a little bit less than it was as well as developed more to add to the suspense factor. However, the photography is not bad considering the small budget, the moody look of it does draw you in, and I'd say the same for the scenery as well. The sound effects don't make the mistake of being bizarre or misplaced either. The scripting does have its weak spots but there is enough humour and suspense to make it a decent script at least, while the story is gripping in how scarily gripping it is, the suspenseful atmosphere and the increasingly violent killings. The characters are ones we've seen before and can be seen as clichés, but the actors ensure that there is some depth and likability to them. Matt McCoy does a quite good job carrying Abominable, and Haley Joel is much more than the all looks, no talent actress I was anticipating(and dreading). Then there are the likes of Paul Gleason, Jeffrey Combs and Lance Henrikssen who are always watchable in varying movies, and they are all very good in their roles. So overall, decent, not abominable in the slightest. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Monster of a movie

Overall I would have rated this a 5 or a 6 if I am honest. You can tell it is low budget and it is quite flawed ... yet you can also tell it has a lot of heart. The monster is not seen in the beginning, something Jaws established (by accident) - and makes the movie more terrifying.

You also have the all star cast if you think about it. Not sure how all those talented and well known people (mostly in the horror community) got cast ... but they are here and they make it a better movie by just appearing. But what gave this the push to make me go "7" is the ending ... while it seems quite cliche, it packs a punch that really has quite the power behind it.

Abominable

"I'm gonna need a bigger knife."

The Flatwoods Sasquatch terrorizes victims within the vicinity of his cavernous dwelling.

Wheel-chair bound cripple, Preston Rogers(Matt McCoy),still recovering psychologically from a tragic fall from nearby Suicide Rock which took the life of his wife, finds himself in quite the dilemma. Despite his wishes against returning to the cabin he shared with his wife, both rock-climbing experts who scaled Suicide Rock often, Preston is forced, thanks to his doctor who has assigned a smart-ass orderly Otis(Christien Tinsley, who imbues his character with a smarmy attitude)over his care, to confront what ails him. Instead, Preston helplessly watches as the rotund furry beast attacks a female group gathering together, across the way in another cabin, for a bachelorette party. Attempts at getting the police(..and Otis) to help fails because no one believes such a wild story as a Sasquatch on a violent rampage. Somehow, Preston will have to take matters into his own hands..but, how can he? And, what if the Sasquatch comes after him? How will he defend himself when he's limited by his disability? And, how can a wheel-chair bound cripple ever help others in need?

REAR WINDOW is mined yet again for inspiration, but I felt the story-line was effective..I thought there were some suspenseful moments thanks to the benefits of having a crippled hero, limited in ways he can help those in trouble due to his lack of mobility. Through Preston, we're helpless on-lookers towards those who are assaulted by the Sasquatch. The unrealistic Sasquatch, which looks like a costumed beast, can either be a liability or a gas depending on your mood. There's a sense of fun at work here if you can look past the limited resources director Ryan Schifrin has..he delivers an entertaining little creature feature with plenty of gory carnage to satisfy gore-hounds. One victim's body is pulled through a small window, from the waste snapping her frame in two. One female victim is crushed under-foot by the Sasquatch. Another's face is completely eaten off. You get to see Tiffany Shepis completely nude, taking a shower. Recognizable faces, in small roles, populate the film such as the late Paul Gleason(THE BREAKFAST CLUB)as an ornery sheriff, Jeffrey Combs as a chain-smoking gas station employee with tubes feeding him oxygen from a can(..quite scraggly under frizzled hair, dirty cap and grubby beard),Dee Wallace Stone as a terrified wife who accompanies her husband outside finding their horses ripped apart, and Lance Henriksen as a cynical hunter who "just wants to kill something"(..he supplies a very funny "Darwin's awards" monologue).
