Goofs:

Plot holes: After cutting her throat, Spencer St. Claire's wife finally gets back at her husband by pushing a plugged in toaster all the way from the kitchen across the house to the bathroom, before dumping it into the bathtub electrocuting him. What's more disconcerting: the fact that April St. Claire survived getting her throat slit, or the fact they have a toaster with a 60 foot cord?

Quotes:

Keith Henshaw: Then it is a Yehti!
Dr. Ernst Prell: Yes! Yes, yes. And far more awesome than any we have heard or read about. Yes it had all the characteristics: The height... The fur... The fetied aroma... The sub-human face... But what shook me to the bone was its heartbeat. Loud incredibly loud, pounding away like an air hammer.

I finally got the chance to see this flick recently and i have to say that i enjoyed it. There's nothing quite like low-budget horror flicks and this is one of the more entertaining. A killer yeti stalks college kids on a mountain expedition. But all is not what is seems....Love the gore effects, the mute Indian dude, and all the dumb kids getting mutilated and shrieking. Wow...this is what schlock cinema is all about. A lot of (unintentional) fun.
