Russian Yeti: The Killer Lives

It was an interesting and often nerve-tingling video, but is not a documentary. A documentary is simple. It's right there in the word...DOCUMENTary..... A film production team DOCUMENTS the facts and the history concerning whatever subject they wish to share on film. They do not CREATE drama that is not real. They do not manipulate facts and history to help the sale of their documentary. They do not pretend to have frightening aural encounters with their subject to heighten the intrigue and tension in their film. Unexplained noises must mean the Yeti is on the prowl, right?! NOT !! This is a fairly well made dramatic thriller posing as a documentary. Docu-fallacy might have been a better description of this video. Oiiii, I mean, C.MON !!!! For the hundredth time, a video documentary crew has the amazing luck of walking right into an aural encounter with their sought after mythical creature. A creature that has never been proven to exist, alive or dead, ever !!! I am betting these documentarians could find a needle in a football stadium-sized haystack, in under two hours ! WHY NOT !!! They just did it on film !!!!

I first watched this not knowing it was fiction and when I did find out it was fiction I was a little depleted. Then I realized there is no documentary about this accident because no one knows what happened. There are only theories.

So really, this is a film of a theory which I believe is acceptable. Some of it is factual which is what theories are based off of but theories are nothing more than an interpretation of a thing, in this case, it is a theory on the Dyatlov incident.

It was very well presented, very believable and coherent.

I,am watching this today on travel channel 1-26-20 I find this really interesting. I think it's cool they have Kevin Conroy who is the voice of batman doing the narrating of the documentary. I think it's interesting that the hikers that went missing in Russia that the documentary is about had close birthday's it's not mentioned in the documentary but if you look up the deotlov pass you will see it

If you liked Blair Witch, you will like this! Just like The Blair Witch, this is a story that sucks you in, has poorly lit video, wavering flashlights, and weird noises no one can explain. I was excited to watch this. This story had intriguing facts and even more intriguing pictures but unfortunately it digressed into darkness and wavering flashlights - I felt like I was at a rave by the time they were done in the forest. However, it kind of brought me back around toward the end with more pictures and video (although grainy) and some more factual tidbits. All in all, I could have done without all of the theatrics. I would have been happier if I had just researched this topic online and kept with the facts.

I watched this thinking it was a documentary and throughout it im thinking, this seems so fake... the people don't appear to be telling real stories and the "video footage" was looking pretty staged as well.. AND the woodland noises are sounds I have heard before clearly computer made and the yeti cry is also something I just couldn't believe...

then I came onto the internet to find out more and found this is a FICTIONAL MOVIE - NOT A DOCUMENTARY Cant believe I just wasted my time on this Thanks Animal Planet for putting on a shitty movie instead of a documentary like your meant to.....

disappointed and waste of my time.
