If they'd made the movie this great poster deserved, this would be one helluva monster movie! Very Happy

Sadly, they didn't.

A scientific expedition journeys into the Himalayas in search of the legendary Yeti. Location photography provides the viewer with plenty of spectacular scenery and gives this low-budget film a remarkably authentic look.

The action is pretty sparse, and it's somewhat spoiled by clumsy attempts at "arty" editing. The acting by the cast of unknowns is often amateurish. Unlike most films of this type, the yeti makes numerous appearances, and the makeup isn't too badly designed when compared to such disasters as "The Snow Creature" (1954).

The ending is a bit lame, but the plot contains a nifty little twist involving the nature of the Yeti. Starring Rock Madison, Virginia Maynor, and George Skaff. Directed by Jerry Warren.

I would be wary of any movie starring somebody named Rock Madison.

The highly imaginative non-stop narration sounds like something I would write for a trailer — if I was being paid by the word and told to lay the bullsh*t on thick!

It's only a minute long, so watch it and see what you think. Very Happy
