Movie Reviews of Sasquatch Horror Collection
Movie Review: Three old Bigfoot/Yeti films
Summary: 4 Stars
The three films featured are:
"Sasquatch, the Legend of Bigoot" (1978). This is a quasi-documentary about a fake Bigfoot expidition deep in the wilderness of British Columbia, although it was filmed entirely in Oregon (Deshutes Nat. Forest and Willamette Nat. Forest). I've heard it referred to as 'the Holy Grail of Bigfoot films' and I can see why since most of the notables of the Bigfoot mythos are presented, including the Roger Patterson footage and the 1924 Ape Canyon, WA, incident wherein a handful of miners are harrassed most of the night by Bigfeet throwing rocks at their cabin and pounding on the walls. Regardless, it's more of a nature flick than anything else, featuring some great footage of North American wildlife highlighted by a fight between two grizzlies. It's well worthwhile for Bigfoot aficionados but laid back and kinda boring so brace yourself and remember it's from the 70s. PERSONAL GRADE: B-
"Snowbeast" (1977). This is a TV movie filmed one year after the popular "Jaws." It's got a lot positives -- gorgeous locations (Crested Butte Mtn Ski Resort, Colorado), likable 70s cast (Robert Logan, Bo Svenson, Yvette Mimieux and Clint Walker) and a decent malevolent-looking Sasquatch for that era (although you barely get to see him). Unfortunately the film lacks originality as the plot rips-off "Jaws" verbatim. The only difference is that it takes place at a ski resort rather than a beach and the monster is a sasquatch rather than a shark. Like "Jaws" there's a scene where a bear is hunted and killed, making the skiers think the slopes are safe again, but the main characters know it's not the real culprit; one of them even states that the dead bear's stomach should be opened up to see if human remains can be found. I hope Peter Benchley got royalties! Despite the similarities, "Snowbeast" lacks the suspense and pizzazz of "Jaws;" in fact, it's kind of boring, but well worthwhile if you're in an alpine mood and/or if you're a fan of the four stars. After all, any film with Clint Walker can't be all bad; plus Yvette looks real cute in a tight ski outfit. I've seen it three times now and always enjoy it. Keep in mind, however, that it's a TV movie. PERSONAL GRADE: B-
"Snow Creature" (1954). This is an old black & white picture only notable as the first film to address the Bigfoot/Yeti subject. The dull story is about a fake-looking yeti brought to America from the Himilayas, which ends up languishing in customs while officials debate whether or not it's a passenger or cargo, i.e. human or animal. I'm not making this up. Worthwhile only for historical reasons. PERSONAL GRADE: D
Although I give the collection an overall rating of 4/5 Stars, it's a weak 4/5 Stars and reflects the importance of these films for people interested in the Sasquatch legend more than anything else. While none of the films are great, the first two are quite good in a number of ways.
