Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

jayg_58 Not documentary style! I hate POV jiggle cam movies. Also - you get to see the actual monster. Great makeup! Acting is better than those home movie Big Foot / Yeti things, and the ending is fun too. I'm sure if this was being reviewed by a 'name your gender' professional reviewer, it would be dreck, but for the rest of us, it's a fun and not too gory trip.

Michael_Elliott Abominable (2006) ** (out of 4)A crippled man returns to his home in the mountains six months after he and his wife were attacked by what they claim to have been Bigfoot. The house next to his is being rented by five young ladies looking for a fun weekend but soon all of them are under attack by the mythical creature.Bigfoot is my favorite monster whether its reading about him, watching television specials or watching him in movies. The bad thing about being a Bigfoot fan is that the majority of the movies that have been made about him are awful. In fact, you'd really be hard pressed to find very many good ones, which is a real shame. Ryan Schifrin's ABOMINABLE isn't the greatest movie on the subject and it's not the worse so it's pretty much in the middle.The film is basically a slasher movie but the killer is Bigfoot. I say that because there's really not too much that happens outside of victims being set up to be killed. If you're a fan of gore then you'll be happy to know that there's plenty of that here including people being ripped apart and worse. The film does benefit from the gore and I'd argue that, for the most part, the Bigfoot looks good too.Several familiar faces show up throughout the running time including fan favorites Lance Henriksen, Jeffrey Combs, Rex Linn and Dee Wallace-Stone. Seeing the familiar faces is another major plus that the film has going for it. For the most part ABOMINABLE is an entertaining movie but at the same time the characters are all rather bland and boring and I'd also argue that there's no suspense and that's something that could have helped to rise this above your average fair.

therersadaly From new director Ryan Schifrin comes the Bigfoot/Yeti film, Abominable. Preston Rogers (played wonderfully by Matt McCoy) lost his wife and be came paralyzed on Suicide Rock in Flatwood. Now, he returns to Flatwood with Otis Wilhelm (who is played by newcomer Christien Tinsley) for treatment. Also arriving is a group of young women (which includes scream queen Tiffany Shepis). As time goes by Preston realizes there something is in the woods, something big. He tries to explain it to Otis and the local authorities, but no one believes him. That is until it comes out of the woods very unhappy and very hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although it stole a little for the Hitchcock classic Rear Window, Abominable was a pleasant surprise. Having an intelligent and original story filled with blood & guts and shocks, it had everything a creature feature needed and more. So if your looking for a scary, bloody, suspenseful evening, pop some popcorn and watch Abominable. Also starring horror legends Jeffery Combs( The Re-Animator franchise, From Beyond, and The Frighteners), Dee Wallace (Cujo, The Frighteners, Critters and The Howling), and Lance Henriksen (Aliens, Alien 3, AvP, Omen 2, Pirahna 2, Near Dark, Pumpkinhead, The Terminator, and many more). I wish they made more horror movies like this!!!

trashgang 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.
