Abominable (2006)

Review by All Movie Guide
Face it, there aren't too many great Sasquatch flicks out there in the rolling hills of B-movie land; Ryan Schifrin's Abominable however, might just be one exception worth checking out. Sure, it isn't the first time that the Rear Window conceit has been adapted to fit the straight-to-DVD/cable shocker mold (see the equally impressive Mimic 3: Sentinel for proof), though there is something to be said about the creative doors that are opened because of it. One sequence in particular milks the voyeuristic perspective for all its worth as the woolly monster wrecks havoc upon two floors of a house that's downright ingenious in its execution. Additionally, what really makes Abominable such a fun ride is its willingness to let loose with the bloody Bigfoot carnage. The big goofy lug of a bad guy might have a ridiculous looking face, but as soon as he starts biting character's faces off and stomping on their caved-in chests, one can't help but love the gory glory on the screen. Genre veterans Jeffrey Combs and Lance Henriksen add to the fun in cameo-sized doses, though the real spotlight goes to composer Lalo Schifrin, who turns in a bombastic monster score for his son's first directing gig, thereby upping the class of the picture innumerably. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie Guide
