The Yeti

It's always a shame when you can see the potential in something but it never quite gets there. The biggest single problem with "The Yeti" is it takes itself far too seriously, for what is, at the end of the day, a monster flick. If they had made the scares and deaths more in keeping with a black humour vibe rather than tragic, this would have been far more enjoyable. What's also missing is the sense of creeping dread, of pursuit, of trying to escape from something monumental and foreboding.

Limited upsides include the makings of a decent script, creative characterisations, reasonable acting and excellent creature effects.

In summary, in spite of having the right ingredients for success, "The Yeti" gets it wrong. The result is rather flat and uninspiring. A mediocre watch at best.
