I'm trying to watch whatever free pre-1990ish Yet, Sasquatch, and Bigfoot movies are available. But does this one really count?
Apparently some Italians heard that there was going to be a sequel to the 1976 King Kong movie and they decided to rush production on this "would be ripoff" except that the sequel movie in question was never made and now this is an odd curio from 1977.
In this, a frozen creature thought to be a Yeti is thawed, promptly comes back to life, and goes on a rampage. I mean, that sounds fun and whatever, except that the Yeti itself is instead a giant regular man, and once he's raised he quickly acts as much like King Kong as possible, including falling in love with a human woman and doing all that typical bullshit.
Featuring stodgy effects and ridiculous acting, there is a B grade drinky smoky aspect to this, but its a little slow, and a big section of the movie where the monster gets sick and has to be put on oxygen really grinds the momentum to a halt. Its also just like...not a Yeti. It is more like a giant neanderthal and plays like any "giant" monster movie, especially perhaps obviously like King Kong.
Its whatever. Kinda boring. I give it a star.
