Yeti (2008)

 

Yeti, also called Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon, is a 2008 horror film directed by Paul Ziller. The cast includes Marc Menard and Carly Pope. 

A football team is travelling to Japan, then they cross the Himalayas during a storm that causes them to crash. Few survive the crash, but they've got no equipment, recourses or even enough food. As they wait for rescue to come, two of them go for a walk through the freezing temperatures to locate a radio that fell during the crash. The pair encounter the legendary Yeti monster, which is a predator and man-eater. Meanwhile, the others waiting back at the wreckage are running out of matches and food. 

A film about survival instincts and monsters, which is a very cool combination. The original title was going to be "Raksha: Curse of the Snow Demon" as the term Raksha is from Tibetan Sanskrit that means "demon". The football team is from an unnamed college but their logo features a bear and they're called Grizzlies. A shame that the survivors didn't channel the bear to properly get by! Cannibalism, gore and intense fighting is found here in this low budget film. Some of the characters are colourful, while others are annoying. The main villain is a human, that keeps a secret stash of chocolate who really gets what's coming to him. 

A silly movie chock full of ice holes. I rate it a 4/10.
