Pity poor Preston (whose name I recall because it’s shrieked dozens of times throughout the course of the production). A climbing accident kills his wife and lands him in a wheelchair, which is an inconvenient seat when a whole houseful of fly-ass girlies moves in next door to his mountain cabin. But things get even worse when Bigfoot shows up and starts chewing his way through the nubile neighbors. The horror of this might have been slightly enhanced if any of the women had been given even minimal personalities, or maybe even if the monster hadn’t looked like Hank Williams Jr. A smattering of B-list actors likewise doesn’t transform this into a masterpiece of the cinema arts. My favorite part of the movie was the end, and not just because it meant the movie was over. It was a nice, unexpected twist, even if it was a blatant set-up for an (with luck entirely hypothetical) Abominable 2. Mildly amusing
