Shawn and I reviewed Abominable back in 2011, and dug the hell out of it, so why bother revisiting it?
Well, I'm associate producer on the upcoming Bigfoot flick No Man's Ridge, and though it might be good to take a look back at Ryan Schifrin's under appreciate little monster movie. And I'd had a few drinks in me at the time, so why not go the full Drunken Review? It'd been eight years. Opinions change... especially after a few cold ones.
Narp. I still love the shit out of this little movie.
I call Abominable little because it's a low-budget venture through and through. But Schifrin populates the cast with a who's who of the horror genre, including greats like Lance Henriksen, Tiffany Shepis, Jeffrey Combs and Paul Gleeson. Oh, and a really, really, REALLY ugly Bigfoot.
This Bigfoot is a nasty one too. He pulls naked women through windows, stomps the guts out of one victim, and eats the face off another. That's right, there's lots of gore AND nudity. What more do you need from a movie like this? Not much.
Fortunately all the players are up for it. Matt McCoy is great as a Hitchcockian hero confined to a wheelchair. Yes, this is pretty much Rear Window with a Bigfoot as the villain. And that's damn cool. Haley Joel is also excellent as the final girl. It's too bad she didn't do much after this movie.
The take away here? Abominable holds up as a solid B-movie, and is pretty much what you wanna see while winding down with a couple of brews, as long as you're like Shawn and I that is. A Good.
