Storyline

People disappear every year out in the Canadian wilderness - however, this year is different. This year something is increasing the body count. Jim ('John Schneider' ) and his research team trek into the Canadian wilderness to study the Canadian Lynx every year. However, this year is different. The Lynx are missing. In fact most of the wildlife is missing; Jim and his team, including his rebellious daughter Emmy (Danielle Chuchran), seek to find out why. As they conduct their study, something is stalking them. Something not human. Something that no prey can escape...including human prey! While the research team is trying to find out why the lynx have disappeared, the local ranger ('Jason London' ) is searching for the answer to what is making tourist disappear; even if it the last thing he ever does... and it is.

User Reviews

An Instant Classic

Every now and again a film comes along with the potential to change lives. Snow Beast is that film. Superb acting, a gripping plot, and shocks that will have you vacating your bowls left right and center.

The horror genre may well have been reinvented; the pacing is that meticulous that every other horror film looks worse than a guy that has just been savaged by Snow Beast, which is pretty terrible. If you don't own this on DVD, buy it now. The director deserves special credit for reworking a classic like the original and managing to keep the charm of the original while still adding some special effects that are, to put it mildly, mind-blowing.

You won't regret watching this, and, thanks to the mighty Snow Beast, you will never look at movies in the same way again. In fact, Snow Beast makes Alien and Predator look like the local dorks, and most other horror films will now look comical, they are so much less terrifying than this glorious masterpiece.
