Review of Snowbeast (1977) by Steve M — 22 May 2006
Snowbeast.
Starring: Robert Logan, Syliva Sidney, Bo Svenson,and Yvette Mimieux.
Director: Herb Wallenford.
As a small ski resort prepares to celebrate its 50th winter carnival, a violent Sasquatch-like creature descends from the mountain top to snack on the skiers.
"Snowbeast" is a perfectly average monster movie--with a vibe that's a cross between "Jaws" and a disaster movie--that suffers from an excess of padding (there are waaaay too many montage shots of characters zooming downhill on skis or trudging through the frozen winter forest in search of Big Foot tracks. The acting and camera work is okay, but much of the dialogue leaves alot to be desired.
This is another of those flicks that you'll find in countless different DVD multi-packs, and it might be worth getting if it's balanced out with something else, but "Snowbeast" is just a slightly below-average 1970s TV chiller that isn't worth getting by itself.
