Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times There's no salvaging this. Rated: 2/5 Apr 21, 2006 Full Review Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter You keep looking for a sign that its young writer-director, Ryan Schifrin, is going for a tongue-in-cheek romp. But no, he seems to be deadly earnest. Apr 20, 2006 Full Review John Anderson Variety Not only are slasher/horror/splatter films enjoying a sharp spike in popularity, right now they're also where one can find the best comedy. Apr 12, 2006 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins With the design of a slasher, the awkwardness of a low-budget monster flick, and the hilarity of a spoof of genuine horror, the film manages to be thoroughly entertaining. Rated: 7/10 Nov 10, 2020 Full Review Ed Travis Cinapse Ryan Schifrin does a good job of calling in every favor he could and creating one of the best Bigfoot movies of the entire subgenre. Nov 1, 2018 Full Review Brian Holcomb Beyond Hollywood To say that "Abominable" is the best movie ever to premiere on a basic cable channel is degrading both to the movie and to Bigfoot.

Walter H I enjoyed how the protagonist’s hair never got messed up Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/22/24 Full Review Thom G With modest expectations regarding depth in substance or plot, but prepared for an average yet entertaining creature feature, Abominable works Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review D. B Blows my mind how so many credible sources rank this as the best squatch movie ever. Maybe didnt really watch Willow Creek, Exists, or any of the other dozen movies that are way better than this campy snoozer. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Emilliano Jr S Low budget horror, low expectations. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/27/23 Full Review Stephen C Personally love this movie, if you go into it knowing it's a dumb horror movie you'll have a good time. It's one of the best Bigfoot horror movies, not a masterpiece by any means. If you're bored and want to see a big ass bigfoot kill some dumb girls give it a watch. (****SPOILER****) The most memorable scene for me is when the girl gets out of the shower, and the creature breaks through the window grabbing her and folding her back like a beach chair. ❤️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Stale acting, but good use of practical effects and it's actually kinda scary.
