Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Overrated and overhyped

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

I was tempted to abort this movie but plowed ahead just to see how these OK actors were dealing with a mostly nonsensical script. Best example: Lead scientist Jim (Schneider) tells everyone 'I'll take the snow mobile to the ranger station to get help'(the trip would be hugely dangerous). As he leaves he turns and says, 'meanwhile call the ranger station and tell them I'm coming.' I'm scratching my head... why go when you can call and ask for the rangers to send help?See Beastley's review...spot on! The group stares at great video, from their remote cameras, clearly showing a yetti or Abominable Snowman prancing around. Clear as day. It takes five minutes of like, what can that be? A bear standing up? Yada yada.... till Rob finally says...looks like a Yetti to which Jim says.... naw they're in the Himalayas. As if this scientist is clueless of hundreds of sightings in North America. Emmy goes out alone to photograph the beast, knowing it has killed people, taking a tranquilizer gun and promptly leaves the gun on her car seat.Father and daughter doing high fives minutes after major tragedy has occurred. No explanation of why their beastly videos did not survive. Next, a hugely tall powerful beast that is too weak to break down a door. Rob stares at a huge pool of blood and does not mention it to Jim who is several feet away. Two men go out to find Emmy and take no weapons of any kind.I have rarely seen such a defective script. It left me rooting for the beast.

In the Canadian wilderness, furry white "Snow Beast" attacks a young man while snow-boarding. Unaware of the precise danger, animal researcher John Schneider (as Jim Harwood) arrives to investigate. When the next attack occurs, you'll know before it happens. Also predictable is the subplot involving Mr. Schneider and his ungrateful teenage daughter Danielle Chuchran (as Emmy)...Schneider handles the acting assignment well. However, all is lost when he appears to forget all about his friend Paul D. Hunt (as Rob) and leaves him in a cave. Making this particular scene even worse is the fact that Schneider momentarily wants to save a dead woman over his living friend. In a serious story-telling error, the hatred for Mr. Hunt's very likable character is never explained.** Snow Beast (10/4/11) Brian Borough ~ John Schneider, Danielle Chuchran, Paul D. Hunt, Jason London

Quite some runtime has focus on the daughter and father, on their dysfunctional relationship. Will they fix their relationship? Well guess - you won't get it wrong. A yeti runs amok, killing senselessly, most likely because the characters aside from our main four blatantly don't matter, and don't contribute much aside from... actually, with most kills occurring offscreen the "body count" characters don't really add anything and receive little screen time. An unambitious creature feature, "Snow Beast" has nothing for anyone with experience watching creature features.

Wow was this ever bad. From terrible acting to the recycled beast face from The Fifth Element (a GOOD movie) stuck onto a shag carpet man-suit to the insanely moronic behaviour of the characters that I can only assume had to do the things they did because they were in the script as nobody could even imagine being that stupid.Stupidity in no particular order.... snowmobile gets trashed by some 'big hairy thing' but we'll check it in the morning, not leave... record film of giant hairy beast CLEARLY from multiple angles via remote cameras but no one can tell what it is 'it's a thing'... have run in with beast and get away back to cottage but we'll leave in the morning even though we're scared senseless... one person awakes really early before they take off so they can go look for Beast, leaves tranq gun in car because, well, why not?... bring bait to distract Beast but instead of a bag, drag it on a garbage can lid on a rope for miles... and on and on.At one point in the movie, you can see the opening the 'actor' uses to get into the suit... they didn't even try to hide it, just let it look like a really bad stripe down is carpeted back.Avoid like it as if it WERE a Beast trying to hunt you down!! unless you're going to make it a drinking game where you have one every time someone does something stupid or the daughter pouts... you should be plastered by the end.
