Kirk Honeycutt The Hollywood Reporter 04/20/2006
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. Go to Full Review
John Anderson Variety 04/12/2006
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. Go to Full Review
Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/10/2020
7/10
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. Go to Full Review
Ed Travis Cinapse 11/01/2018
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. Go to Full Review
Brian Holcomb Beyond Hollywood 04/19/2008
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. Go to Full Review

phantom s Dec 29 It could be written off as just another Sasquatch horror film, but it's one that's cleverly written, convincingly acted and smartly directed. Abominable also delivers on both suspense and action and as a bonus it helps that the characters are interesting especially the main character Preston. Watching their plight against the monster keeps the film engaging.

B 11/12/2023 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. See more Emilliano Jr S 06/27/2023 Low budget horror, low expectations. See more 02/29/2020 Stale acting, but good use of practical effects and it's actually kinda scary. See more Read all reviews
