Himalaya

If you can see this movie for free, I recommend it! Not a GREAT movie by any stretch of the imagination,, but it held my interest with the possibility of seeing a supernatural beast in a cave. The story plays out like a live broadcast with the idea that a famous expert is going into a cave to search of a yeti called the "Snow Ghost". Things really pick up once he gets inside the cave and is struggling to move and running out of air. The explorer also experiences other strange and unexplainable things inside the cave which make you question his sanity. The host of the show tries to keep everything together while the whole mission becomes more dangerous and unstable. If you're into cryptids and fantastical beasts, there are better movies when it comes to the creature effects. The "Snow Ghost" isn't going to blow you away! But that little detail also makes sense with the story so I give the director and cast credit for doing a lot with a tiny budget. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing a new yeti movie! It's been a long time since somebody has done an abominable snowman movie of any kind. Adjust your expectations and just enjoy!

In an era dominated by big-budget blockbusters and predictable storylines, "Himalaya" emerges as a breath of fresh air, reminding us of the true magic that indie cinema can create. Released in 2024, this remarkable film takes us on an unforgettable journey through the majestic Himalayas, captivating our hearts and souls with its mesmerizing visuals, poignant storytelling, and unforgettable characters. Among them, the character of Doctor Sato shines as a beacon of compassion and strength, while the spine-chilling yeti sequence at the end leaves an indelible mark of fear in our minds. Please nominate Doctor Sato for an Oscar award or something similar fantastic movie would definitely watch again.

I got to see this movie at a preview in Los Angeles. This is a fun, low-budget creature feature that combines footage from a live internet broadcast with POV footage captured by a helmet cam attached to an explorer called Dr. Sato. This man who is supposedly an expert in his field, crawls deeper into an ice cave looking for a Himalayan yeti called the Snow Ghost. Along the way there are some morbid discoveries and many strange occurrences that seem more paranormal than physical. Oxygen starts running low in the cave and the explorer seems to be losing his mind on what looks like a potential suicide mission. Tensions are also rising between the broadcasters who are debating about what is real, what is obviously superstition, and what they can do to help Dr Sato survive inside the cave. The movie comes to a boiling point as it becomes evident that this is no longer a quest to discover a mythical beast, but a life and death struggle to survive the elements and other malevolent forces lurking inside the cave.

Overall, this movie is a bit like BBC's Ghostwatch or other live investigation movies. It was fun to learn that the entire film was made with a phone camera inside a warehouse filled with artificial snow. There are some comedic moments, some action and some creature horror for those who like beasts and monsters. This is fun movie made for pennies obviously. It's a campy good time and it has a nice cast including the star of The Human Centipede.

Confession. I love monster movies! Especially low-budget cheesy ones! But lately, I've struggled to watch titles from companies like Wild Eye Releasing because of a lack of creativity. Fortunately, this indie snow beast/snow ghost movie features a fresh concept, an interesting story, and the actor from Human Centipede. There's a campy feel that reminds me of 'Ghost Watch' and the mock broadcast found footage movie 'Halloween Special'. I actually enjoyed this more than expected and got caught up in the illusion that the events were unfolding in real time during a live broadcast. This is a very low-budget movie and if you enjoy the guilty pleasure of watching a fun story unfold with a little less than realistic creature, I can definitely recommend it!

Where do I start? Let's start with something nice. The quality of the photography is actually nice. But that's all I got,

After that it goes down hill REALLY, REALLY fast. Wow, a found footage movie, how original. Since you didn't have to work that hard on the concept, you could have least tried to make the rest of the movie interesting ... which it wasn't. The script, or at least what I am sure they called a script. I am placing my bet that they did not spend more than a weekend on this. Looking at the direction and the scripted scenes, don't expect much from the acting and you won't be disappointed.
