Snow Beast Movie Review 216

Snow Beast is a 2011 horror movie directed by Brian Brough. It is a remake of the 1977 movie of the same name. It stars John Schneider(from Dukes of Hazzard), Jason London and Kari Hawker.

The movie begins with a snowboarder being watched by someone or something. It is a Yeti or Snowbeast. It kills him.Cut to Jim Harwood(Schneider) has come to Canada with his daughter, Emmy(Danielle Chuchran). He is researching animals. They are staying in a house in the mountains. He has colleagues with him, namely Rob(Paul D. Hunt) and Marci(Hawker). Emmy is annoyed because her mother left them and she has to stay with her dad. She is moody and irritating. A forest ranger called Barry(London) is sure that there is something wrong in the area as people are disappearing and he looks into it. Meanwhile, Snowbeast is slicing and dicing his way through some more victims.

Marci and Emmy see huge tracks in the snow. Rob hears strange animal noises in the night. They all talk about

the tracks and they wonder what it is. Jim goes out for firewood and Snowbeast is outside waiting. That night, it gets closer while they sleep. They all hear it during the night. The next morning, their snow mobile has been thrashed. Marci goes to Barry and tells him about it. Barry goes to see if there is anything around. He meets Snowbeast and that is the end of poor Barry!! As Snowbeast gets closer to Jim and the others, they have to try and find a way to escape or defend themselves against it...

This movie isn't that good, being honest. It is passable for an afternoon, but don't rush out and get it. It keeps you entertained but you will forget it soon after! This gets a 4/10.
