Perfect cast and a good story

Did you people see the same film I saw?

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The movie is not an intellectual rendition of Big Foot, but portrays it as a savage killer.Group of people spending their time out in the cabin and forest gets mauled by the Big Foot. One guy on a wheel chair witnesses it, but his dumb attendant thinks he's imagining things. Police are very apathetic even when they get the calls.Everything is very artificial in this movie including the cinematography. The story, the portrayal ,all screams fake including the very artificial way they up the suspense.All this makes this movie unbelievable in an unpalatable way.So thumbs down for this Big Foot movie.

Ryan Schifrin, the director of this flick wasn't well known until he appeared in Hatchet 2 as a featured hunter, uncredited but still he could say he was in Hatchet 2. I guess due that reason that suddenly Abominable came available here 5 years after its release. Still you could pick it up here immediately on the sale shelves. So that means a lot. For us Europeans Bigfoot doesn't mean a thing. Okay, you had the comedy Harry and the Hendersons concerning Bigfoot. Nevertheless, this one here also had some appearances of well known horror actors. For instance, Jeffrey Combs is in it for his faces he can make, and Lance Henriksen is in it to play the tough guy. But be aware, both are only a few moments in it. Tiffany Shepis, also one of those well known actresses in the genre is in it and guess what, you can see her again in full nudity. And there are more names, too many to mention. And that's the problem, names doesn't make a movie. Scripts do and here it fails a bit. I must say that a few killings are indeed gory but when Tiffany dies watch the blood sputtering on the wall above the window, next shot, blood is gone and those mistakes tear a flick down for me. One attack by the Sasquatch is worth mentioning, won't spoil it but you will surely recognise it. But really, nothing happens for a lot here, a few attacks and that is it. You can see the end coming once it appears, you really know what's going to happen. No suspense although the effects used and make up for the Yeti were well done. If he had made it like Hatchet well, a classic it would be but for know it is what the title says, abominable.

An entertaining, modestly budgeted B-movie about that infamous Sasquatch/Bigfoot creature roaming the woods, somewhere up there. Nothing really innovating, of course, but the important thing is that this indie-film has its heart at the right place. The creature is just a (very big) man but in a rather impressive hairy monster-suit. It's got a really big, fiercely mouth with a whole lot of pointy teeth in it, though his red eyes might have you chuckle a bit. Another natural ingredient in these type of movies (and the filmmakers know it) comes in the shape of Tiffany Shepis, generously showing all of her skin in a shower-scene. Adding a protagonist that's wheelchair-bound was also a nice angle (though done before, of course, with him not being able to leave the house while he's witnessing all the gruesome goings-on through his binoculars). Add a little bit of gore here & there and an end-shot that you just need to have in a movie like this, and you basically have a winner of a creature feature. Certainly one of the more entertaining movies about Abominable Snowbeasts and such, very likely also because this one doesn't take itself too serious. Lance Henriksen and Jeffrey Combs have fun cameos in it too.

This movie wasn't that bad, considering it's a SyFy original. There were a couple of parts that were actually almost scary, and a few plot twists that made it worth it (especially the ending, which was absolutely brilliant).The acting was decent for the most part, as was the writing. Matt McCoy's acting as the character Preston Rogers was very good, in fact it was one of the best parts of the movie.My only real gripe with this movie is the choice of costume for "Bigfoot". It looked less like the "giant man-ape" Bigfoot you'd expect, and more like former MLB pitcher Al Hrabosky if he grew out his body hair.
