Winterbeast

And all of that plaid, my god, the plaid............... 

You noticed it too?

Andrew: Oh, Man, I am so in for this film. It sounds right up my alley. Plus, you have to love a character that becomes a park ranger (normally a noble pursuit) so that he can score chicks. I can only repeat: I am so in!

Great review! I even love the fact that it was basically unfinished. -- Mykal

If you hunt this down, I'd love to hear your thoughts.  It's really, really bad and confusing.  With a group of friends who like to goof around while watching bad movies it could be a lot of fun.

The short bits of animation are the highlights, but all the creatures seem to suffer from some neurological defect that makes them wiggle their heads and wave their arms constantly. At least the monsters don't wear plaid.

The fun and crappy stop motion animation is what saves me from giving this movie a complete rock bottom rating. Too bad there wasn't a whole lot more of it.

There was quite a bit more of it than I would expect from such a low-budget film that was never actually finished.  I liked the silly stop motion critters!

The monster reaching into the house looks like the peperami animal!

Just read your review of Winterbeast, and it's got me hankerin to find this one and watch it.  As bad movies go, this one looks freakin' awesome!   


Just watched the randam video clip, when the rock climber gets it.  LOLOL--did that monster just THROW GANG SIGNS?!?!

I particularly liked the part where the stop motion tree type creature took the clay version of the topless chick and "slammed" her against the side of the cabin.    That and when the older guy who looked like equal parts Malcolm McDowell and Timothy Leary had that mask on and was dancing around the corpses.

I particularly liked the part where the stop motion tree type creature took the clay version of the topless chick and "slammed" her against the side of the cabin.   

I listened to a bit of the commentary and they said that later that day she appeared in almost the same 'topless screaming victim' scene for another movie.

Bet THEY didn't have a wiggly peperami animal monster, though!

Sweet merciful barrel of funky monkeys!  You are correct, forewarned is nowhere near helpful!  Though I have to say, there is one thing worse than the plaid- the lodge owner's ubiquitous deranged smile.  I may have nightmares about that.  The mask towards the end was an improvement. 

I agree, I wish they had more of the critters.  Especially if they danced pimp-tree-alien style like from the clip.  I expected the deer heads to start laughing a la "Evil Dead 2" style.  Wow, just wow.  We're talking "Game over, man!" wow.  This is the weirdest thing I've seen since "The Seventh Curse".

Good review.  There's no way I can write my own review now because I can not think of a better way to try and explain this alphabet soup of 'scenes' without massively borrowing/ripping you off.  Here will be my review- "Go see Andrew.  [url]"

I just found out that my buddy Chris was the Winter Beast. He even has a movie poster. I'm going to buy a copy right now.
