Yeti On November 8th
Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 3rd, 2008
Fangoria’s Michael Gingold has noted that Sci Fi Channel will have a premiere on Saturday, November 8, 2008, at 9:00 PM Eastern, of a new Yeti movie.
Genius Products gave Fangoria the first look at cover art for Yeti, the 12th (!) entry in its Maneater DVD series, being released on January 13, 2009. The film’s plot concerns a plane carrying a college football team that crashes in the Himalayas. While trying to figure out how to make it to safety, the survivors must also contend with, as Gingold notes “an especially Abominable Snowman determined to have them for lunch.”
Why do they always have to make the shy, gentle apes, like Sasquatch and Yeti look like vicious killing creatures?
Looks scary!
There are reports of yeti-type creatures being annoying…Sanderson called the meh-teh “bestial.”
I know every network throws up what it thinks will get ratings, but it’s sad that the Sci-Fi fellows who greenlighted intelligent series like Battlestar Galactica think movie viewers will only tune in for “killer monster” type fare. Gripping drama could me made of the issues surrounding a great cryptozoological discovery – without losing the thriller aspects of danger and fear of the unknown. Here’s hoping they at least give that sort of thing a try.
I hope this movie is better than the Abominable Snowman.
saw the movie they make it jump graet distances whom a ape can’t jump as much
it had huge fingers(look like they did’t care for a great costume)
my family and i were laughing the whole entire time becuase of the yeti’s looks
