Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon (2008 TV Movie)

Snow Blind, Deaf, and Dumb

[5/10 · 22 April 2014]

This plane-crash creature feature is fun to watch simply to count the Things People Would Never Do. For instance: 1. Search for matches when several fires are already burning 2. Leave clothes on dead bodies when live ones are freezing 3. Use one of 12 matches per day to start a fire and then let it go out at night These football jocks and their support staff are not scripted as stupid, but their actions prove otherwise. In fact, this bunch couldn't survive in a New York City snow storm, let alone the Himalayas. Of course, maybe the setting is supposed to be an alternate-universe Himalayas. I mean, the ground isn't so frozen that the characters can't dig a deep pit while the creature is asleep. (And would people really do this to trap a monster that can jump like a giant flea?) Most of the actors give this silliness their best effort, which only serves to make the on- the-cheap yeti costume and CGI more glaringly chintzy. The action does move along, and the incongruities never cease. So, sitting through this off-the-wall offering doesn't really have to be a curse.
