It's a dead radio machine.......2006-11-12
Dr. Frank Parrish (Paul Langton) goes on an expedition to the Himalayas. There he recruits native bearers. The natives look surprisingly with language and garb as WWII Japanese.
Half way to his goal he is informed that the mythical yeti has pilfered the head Sherpa, Subra's (Teru Shimada), wife. Of course Dr. Parrish laughs it off. This sets Subra on a course of revenge, including stealing the guns and whisky. In the process using his phony sounding stilted English and a rifle, shoots the radio machine.
Sure enough they stumble upon a yeti family that tries to self destruct. The male yeti (Lock Martin) is saved and like King Kong is drugged and flown by way of TWA prop plane to Los Angeles. When he naturally escapes there is no Empire state building and he does not think of L.A. City Hall, so he take a clue from another well know 1945 minus "Them!" and finds a secret way of getting around. (Not like we did not think of it first).
Every time he finds a victim there is a white arrow on the street.
This is one cool yeti. So the question is does he get away? Will the authorities going after him get eaten by giant ants? I am sort of half hoping that he meets up with Dr. Frank Parrish's wife.
The filming location is the same as "Robot Monster", Bronson Caves, Bronson Canyon, Griffith Park - 4730 Crystal Springs Drive, Los Angeles, California, USA
That was only 69 minutes????!!!!!.......2006-10-29
Wow. It seemed like three hours. The beginning was nearly interesting but it turned into a real snorefest. One of these reviews said the movie was so bad it was good. No. It's so bad, it's just awful.
Lee Wilder turns in a borefest this time around.......2006-07-10
I kind of dig the other two Lee Wilder movies I've seen, Killers From Space with Peter Graves, and Phantom From Outer Space. The actor who played the professor in PFOS has a small role here. Snow Creature, however, is a pretty boring King Kong rip about a botanical expedition in the Himalayas that turns into a Yeti hunt when the wife of the American's guide is whisked off by one of them. A Yeti is captured after a cave in that kills his mate and cub, and gets shipped back to the good 'ol USA for exhibition. Amusingly, things get held up at customs by immigration when it can't be determined wether Yeti is man or beast. The creature escapes to the sewers of Los Angeles, occasionally popping out of a manhole to kill or terrify someone. Wouldn't you be agitated if your family was murdered and you were kidnapped, held in a refrigerator, and dumped in a strange city? Pity the Yeti, children, pity the Yeti. Not much to waste your time on here.
The Dull Yeti..........2006-06-24
Paul Langton stars as Frank Parrish, who with photo journalist Peter Wells played by Leslie Denison leads a expedition into the Himalayas to discover new plant life. Tera Shimada plays Subra the lead guide whose wife is kidnapped by a Yeti which takes the guys off their plans. Langton doesnt believe that there are Yeti's but eventually goes on a hunting party with his guide and the Sherpas. They find a cave with a bunch of Yeti's inside of it and kill most of them but bring one of them back with them to the USA for a little bit of research. It's like King Kong only with a Yeti. But King Kong was way better then this one. True it's a bad cheesy movie but I wasnt into it at all. The Yeti was laughable and it looked like it had fuzzy oven mitts for hands. Arggh.
Another good bad movie.......2006-05-04
Remember the movies, "Marty" "Cavalcade" or "Country Girl?" They all won Academy Awards in various main categories. Big forgotten movies. You will probably remember Snow Creature after you see it. It is cheap and the monster looks like a big man in a tailored fur suit. The monster's victims are children in little suits that are supposed to look like adults in the creature's grasp.
But there is something about this movie that is attractive. It is fun. It is not a laugh out loud type of fun but 72 minutes pass quickly with a good (simple) story. Somebody tried their hand at good camera work and it sort of pays off. I would have to list it as one of my favorites of the 1950's "B" movies. Remember B stands for Budget, not "Bad." I gave it 5 stars for entertainment value.
If you like, "The Indestructible Man," "She Demons," or "From Hell It Came" you will probably find the same type of goofy entertainment in Snow Creature.
So plug this tape in on a Friday night or a Saturday morning, put your brain on the shelf and enjoy a fun, simple, clean "B" movie.

Low budget, but "OK" movies.......2006-02-28
Being a fan of old black and white movies, I was really looking forward to "Haunted House". Well, I'm not really sure why they even called it that because you never actually get to the house until the movie is almost over. Then the house is nothing more that a single room with a fireplace. There are much better movies that actually have a haunted or scary house in them. I did like the movie for the main 2 young actors. Everyone did a good job for what they had to work with. I have not watched "Snow Creature" yet.
