Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Steineded How sad is this?
Sharkflei Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Leofwine_draca Bottom-of-the-barrel entertainment, brought to us by the SyFy Channel. I sometimes wonder whether they churn these films out on autopilot as I could have sworn I'd seen this before, even though I hadn't. The IMDb trivia page announces that this was shot in Bulgaria in 13 days, so you get an idea of the kind of quality on offer here.I'll briefly list what to expect, anyway: sloppily written characters you don't care about, going-through-the-motions acting, a distinct lack of imagination on the part of both director and scriptwriter. My favourite scene was where once character announced that she had suddenly remembered that the location she was in was the same place her father died all those years ago...bad memory, huh? Inevitably, what makes DEADLY DESCENT a laughing stock of a film is the excruciatingly awful CGI used to animate the Abominable Snowmen. It's worse than an old PC game I used to play in the 1990s called NIGHTMARE CREATURES! There are also way too many silly skiing sequences to pad out the running time, hardly any gore, and one of the most rubbishy-looking explosions I've seen in a while. Another SyFy howler, then.
wnourallah This film should never have been released to the public as it is so bad that someone could end up committing suicide from boredom. Actually I must get this film for my mother in law to watch with her daughter!!!!!!!!! Just kidding I love them both. The acting was soooooooooooooooo bad and the dialogue one hell of a lot worse if that is remotely possible. Why does anyone want to direst such crap? If the voting had -10 I would've chosen that score. Even the monsters were sooooooo bad that you can only see them in small bits or totally blurred. In fact the film should have a health warning attached to it. Don't waste your time on this crap. The only thing that was worth watching this crap is the fact that you see Zara Dimitrova's gorgeous and delicious lips. She really is one sexy foxy lady. Ummmmmmmmm.
TheLittleSongbird SyFy's movies are often terrible, though there are some tolerable ones out there. Abominable Snowman(aka Deadly Descent) is down there with their bad movies. The good news is that it is a long way from SyFy's worst, and it is certainly better than last year's Bigfoot. And there are a few decent things. Nicholas Boulton's performance is dramatically stern and intense which is in good keep with this type of genre. The reveal of the second creature was very effective also, and Zara Dimitrova is smoking hot. Sadly, that's pretty much it. The acting has been much worse with SyFy, but there is still the mix of blandness and over-compensating. If you're looking for Atanas Srebrev to elevate it, you'll be disappointed, he's only in one scene and that one scene completely wastes him. It is not the actors' fault though that their performances generally don't register. They also have to work with characters that do little more than bore and irritate you and dialogue that just doesn't flow and that is unintentionally funny. The story doesn't engage either, while it picks up a tad in the latter half it is slow-moving and has very little atmosphere. Any comedy is awkward and out of place, the scary elements are diluted by the lack of suspense and that we don't see a lot of the deaths(which weren't that inventive in the first place) and the drama is soppy and lacks any kind of passion. Visually, there's been worse, but the creatures look blurry and quite weird-looking and the editing lacks any kind of fluidity. In conclusion, poorly done but there's worse out there. 3/10 Bethany Cox
Mikel3 We watched a new SyFy Channel movie last night called 'Abominable Snowman'. It had the usual predictable formula about a small isolated group of young people battling a relentless blood thirsty creature. Whether they take place on a spaceship, under the sea, or in the snowy mountains these films are much the same. This one did have above average writing, photography and acting by all involved. The CGI monsters looked much more realistic than most on the SyFy channel. There was also plenty of action and well developed characters who you actually cared about. Basically the creatures looked like giant bears with strange jaws. Too bad they weren't at least white. They looked more like Abominable brown bears than Snowmen. I like my snowmen to be white or at least gray, abominable or not :wink:. I guess the film makers may have figured dark brown was a better contrast for the white snow scenes, and they're right at that. There were some memorable scenes of the relentless brown creature in the distance bounding down the snowy mountain after it's prey. I Had to laugh a little at the 'Aliens VS Ripley' like finale. I give this a 5 or 6 out of 10 rating anyway, that's high praise from me. It was pretty good if you like these sort like I often do. I've seen much worse released to theaters. My wife liked it even better than I did. Watch this one on a snowy winters night and you won't be disappointed.
