Abominable (2006)

What did you know, there is a decent Bigfoot horror film out there! It's a horror comedy and, while it's not great at either, it's perfectly decent in both aspects. Matt McCoy (a familiar face who may be most famous for playing former mental patient Lloyd Braun on Seinfeld) became paralyzed after a rock climbing accident. While spending some time in a cabin with his jerky nurse (Christien Tinsley), he observes some weird goings-on in the forest next to his house. Soon he catches sight of a sasquatch, and it starts terrorizing the sorority girls next door. So, yeah, it's Rear Window meets Bigfoot with a little bit of a Sorority House Massacre thrown in. And it's a lot of fun! Jeffrey Combs and Lance Henriksen also pop up as a couple of Bigfoot hunters, and Paul Gleason (the principal from The Breakfast Club) and Phil Morris (who also had a recurring role on Seinfeld as lawyer Jackie Chiles) play a couple of cops. The sasquatch costume is particularly laughable, but it's funny. I don't know if they decided on horror comedy before or after they got their costume from the designer.

From new director Ryan Schifrin comes the Bigfoot/Yeti film, Abominable. Preston Rogers (played wonderfully by Matt McCoy) lost his wife and be came paralyzed on Suicide Rock in Flatwood. Now, he returns to Flatwood with Otis Wilhelm (who is played by newcomer Christien Tinsley) for treatment. Also arriving is a group of young women (which includes scream queen Tiffany Shepis). As time goes by Preston realizes there something is in the woods, something big. He tries to explain it to Otis and the local authorities, but no one believes him. That is until it comes out of the woods very unhappy and very hungry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although it stole a little for the Hitchcock classic Rear Window, Abominable was a pleasant surprise. Having an intelligent and original story filled with blood & guts and shocks, it had everything a creature feature needed and more. So if your looking for a scary, bloody, suspenseful evening, pop some popcorn and watch Abominable. Also starring horror legends Jeffery Combs( The Re-Animator franchise, From Beyond, and The Frighteners), Dee Wallace (Cujo, The Frighteners, Critters and The Howling), and Lance Henriksen (Aliens, Alien 3, AvP, Omen 2, Pirahna 2, Near Dark, Pumpkinhead, The Terminator, and many more). I wish they made more horror movies like this!!!

The movie is not an intellectual rendition of Big Foot, but portrays it as a savage killer.Group of people spending their time out in the cabin and forest gets mauled by the Big Foot. One guy on a wheel chair witnesses it, but his dumb attendant thinks he's imagining things. Police are very apathetic even when they get the calls.Everything is very artificial in this movie including the cinematography. The story, the portrayal ,all screams fake including the very artificial way they up the suspense.All this makes this movie unbelievable in an unpalatable way.So thumbs down for this Big Foot movie.

This movie wasn't that bad, considering it's a SyFy original. There were a couple of parts that were actually almost scary, and a few plot twists that made it worth it (especially the ending, which was absolutely brilliant).The acting was decent for the most part, as was the writing. Matt McCoy's acting as the character Preston Rogers was very good, in fact it was one of the best parts of the movie.My only real gripe with this movie is the choice of costume for "Bigfoot". It looked less like the "giant man-ape" Bigfoot you'd expect, and more like former MLB pitcher Al Hrabosky if he grew out his body hair.
