Review: Deadly Descent: The Abominable Snowman aka YETI (2013)
By William Pattison
My next review is one of those amusing horror/adventure /Abominable
Snowman movies.
When an ex-military climber named Brian is found to be missing his friends
go up into the mountains to try and find him and come face to face with the deadly
creature Brian was searching for. They manage to escape the creature and find
shelter in an abandoned lodge. They find Brian there and find out he was trying
to trap and kill the creature because it killed his father. Then, of course, to
add spice to the situation they find out there are two creatures. Now Brian and
his friends must fight for their lives again these primal forces. Will they
survive?
Unfortunately, this film suffers from the same defects as 98
percent of the film in this subgenre. This film has bad writing as well as bad
acting. For Christ’s sake, Adrian Paul has to do this ridiculous American
accent!!! All the characters are
supposed to be ex-military yet all they do is argue with each other and make
stupid mistakes. And, if all that wasn’t
enough, then there is the most horrifying, not scary at all, part of the
film, the creatures. These things don’t
look anything like Yetis. They look like horribly CGIed Gorillas/ bears.
This is royally bad. It makes Sharknado look good .
So, with all this said, if you want a good snow creature laugh
fest, I’ll recommend it…only thing is you’ll need to down two bottles of
whiskey and a large Cheech and Chong Doobie to get through this mess. I suggest
you save yourself the hangover and watch Abominable instead.
