Abominable

"Abominable" is really low budget and a lot of the continuity seems muddled with poor production choices. I never like to come out and say a movie is bad, A lot of work and heart goes into movie making, even the low budget projects so I feel every film deserves a once over.

With this one, it was hard to get into the story, and the story isn't a bad one. A science team seeking to uncover the miracles of a special plant, reminiscent of the classic "Werewolf Of London". A yeti that is guarding the location and vicious enough to kill any and all who trespass. It is a cool story. Unfortunately there is just a lot that goes wrong.

Poor editing, the sound effects, and really bad shots of the creature that shows the suit is way to big for the actor wearing it. Now minus the "gamer" level CGI, I do give props to some decent practical effects moments. But there just isn't enough going on in "Abominable" that works out right.

..it is. Horrific sound and some useless background music which maybe it's supposed to tell you when to feel scared.

Cliché of other films of its kind , only thing less wooden than the acting are the trees. 1960's special effects and dramatic choral music throughout.

I knew this was going to be a great experience when I immediately saw 2 random people wandering in the background of the "opening kill"... .

Abominable doesn't really have anything going for it. But I would argue that this is a "so bad, it's good"-movie. There's so many things wrong with it that I honestly had a smile on my face throughout the entire viewing.

Characters give weird exposition and try to build some story while I'm sitting there, wondering why the time of day changes 3-4 times over the course of 10 seconds. Scenes that were obviously supposed to be filmed during dusk or night are filmed in broad daylight but the characters act like it's dark as hell.

Random kills that add nothing. Plastic guns. Weird, hand-held camera movements that confuse the hell out of me.

I honestly enjoyed this movie. But is it bad in nearly every regard? Absolutely.

Holy (insert swear word). I'm watching a film that I can only assume was off the back of a bet, the loser having to make it. Abominable is both the film title and my description of it.
