It scared me too back in 78! I turned 16 that year! It is good to see a movie that uses suspense and good acting rather than over-the-top special effects to scare people! There is a Dr. Who episode called "BLINK" that uses that same method!
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" And the screen fades to blood red, as the Snowbeast claims another victim. This cheesy effect became rather annoying after, oh, about the second death.
There is a glaring continuity glitch in this scene. When the idiot ski patroller first does his faceplant at 3:50, the force is great enough to knock his goggles and toque off his head (as one might expect would happen). However, at 3:56, we see they are back on his head again, then at 4:08, when he is clinging desperately to the side of the 30-foot ravine (LOL), they are gone again. This must have been shot several times, but they forgot to take the damn hat off his head.
Yeah I remember seeing this on telly as a kid too, at some point in the early 80's, on ITV/Central I think. Loads of films like this used to get shown on telly during the 80's, sadly no longer
I remember when this aired. It was like the Kolchak: The Night Stalker series. You never really saw the monster until the very end. But you knew that it was lurking around.
share the sentiments about this. fondly recall this when i was younger too and getting freaked out by this. times have changed , creature seems lame now bu film still holds up well. I love the ending of this scene and big huge arm grabbing head. silly fool should have let himself go.didn't look that dangerous sliding down that hill.
33 years on...due a remake. much more grisly and with a much more terrifying snowbeast. id love to direct!
@ceejay75 couldn't agree more about the remake. With today's special effects and other computer-generated enhancements, this could be a blockbuster. The rather lame premise could be worked up into something HUGE.
@jazzkeyboardman we should start a facebook page and get this remake produced!! I think any remake would have animatronics or a exceptionally tall man in a suit. The Alien Queen from Aliens and original Predator are the best examples. hollywood relies on too much CGI these days.
The Piranha 3D was a brilliant and enjoyable remake from an original film around the same time as Snowbeast so the potential is certainly there.
LOL.......I feel the same as all you crazy mofo's in here........I was 8 yrs. old when they showed this on TV........I crapped my little undies and didnt go out in the woods in winter for months!
Funny how what we recognize as "cheesy, low budget movies" once we have come of age often have such a powerful effect on us when we are much younger.
For a few years after I saw this movie, I was terrified to go skiing or snowmobiling anywhere near trees because I was terrified this thing was hiding behind them.
this film scared me to death when I saw it on video around 1978 aged eight or nine. I still can't walk through a pine forest without thinking about it, and I live in England!
@happysnapper999a me to this film has always stayed with me it scared me to death that scene i think it was in the car park were it smashed the windscrean or the side window cant remember witch but i was so scared
this movie gave me nightmares for ten fucking years. I lived out at the cabin in the woods in north canada for 2 years. So this film really hit me hard when I saw it, I was about 7 years old or so.
does anyone recognize the plot of this movie.....large killer animal leaves behind bodies during local community festival only to be stopped in the end by small handful of local residents?
