Genres & Description

Action Adventure Horror

6.5 / 10

At a remote lamasery in the Himalayas, scientist John Rollason studies rare mountain herbs with the help of his wife Helen, and associate Peter, while awaiting the arrival of an American named Tom Friend. Over Helen's objections and warnings by the High Lama, he sets out with Friend on an expedition to find the elusive Yeti, accompanied by another American named Shelley and a young Scotsman, McNee, who claims to have seen the thing. Footprints are found in the snows and McNee seems queerly affected the closer they get to their quarry's likely habitat but the biggest shock to Rollason is discovering Friend is a showman who only intends to exploit their find, with Shelley his game hunter/marksman. The conflict between science and commercialism only increases when an enormous anthropoid is shot, and the horror only increases as the party realizes the other Yeti intend to retrieve their fallen comrade and have powers to do so which seem extra-human.

A very good, intelligent film---written by Nigel Kneale, one of the best writers ever in the field of the fantastic and sf---but you wouldn't know it from the cornball voice-over. One has to assume Paul Frees (the voice of the trailer) was told to ham it up/hardly seems like something he would've done on his own, especially if he'd actually seen the movie! - @Friday, April 21, 2017 1:01 PM

Hollywood is overdo on making a real BA Yetti movie, they need a super scary horror flick called Yetti where the snowman is vicious and kills a bunch of naive kids hiking in the frozen tundra. And it needs to be big budget, you can put luke wilson in it or something just make it! - @Saturday, April 2, 2016 3:38 AM

I saw this when I was 10 and couldnt sleep for 2 weeks after. It's effective mainly because you just dont see the Yeti, its all in your imagination - and nothing frightens more than your own thoughts. - @Saturday, May 24, 2014 5:30 AM
