The Yeti Needed More Yeti

from The Fear Review Hosted by thefearreview

The Yeti needed more Yeti. This old-school creature feature has a great late-1940s Alaskan look, strong performances, and a monster we genuinely wanted to see. The problem is that most of the kills happen off camera, the Yeti remains hidden behind fog and noise, and several character decisions left us wondering what anyone was thinking. Amy explains why the atmosphere never became creepy for her, while William considers whether the filmmakers successfully worked around a limited budget or simply left too much unseen. Neither of us hated The Yeti. Neither of us would rush to watch it, either. This review is spoiler-free.
