After recovering from a horrific accident, paraplegic Preston Rogers (Matt McCoy) moves back into the remote cabin where he and his now-deceased wife once lived. When one of his new neighbors, Karen (Ashley Hartman), is attacked by a gigantic ape-like beast, Rogers contacts the local authorities. But after the police -- and even his personal nurse, Otis Wilhelm (Christien Tinsley) -- dismiss Rogers as a delusional widower, he sets out to stop the abominable creature himself.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

With modest expectations regarding depth in substance or plot, but prepared for an average yet entertaining creature feature, Abominable works

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.

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. ❤️
