Wow. This was one BAD movie. I can barely wrap my mind around how freaking bad it is. Incomprehensible story. Amazingly bad acting. One of the stupidest plots in film history. Ed Wood wouldn't have wanted to have anything to do with this trash. I'm not going to give anything away, because there's nothing to spoil. Trash from beginning to end.

Dammit! I got tricked into watching a Micheal Findlay film again. For those who don't know, I reviewed one of Findlay's other cinematic travesties, "Snuff", a while back. It was so VERY bad. This tale of the search for a 'Yeti' by a group of college students and their professor is equally horrid. Some people just never find their true calling in life. Sadly Micheal Findlay was one of those people. I'm just so very glad that I didn't get sucked into Something Weird DVD release of his three "...of her Flesh" movies. If I had, I might of pulled a Kurt Cobain. And by that I mean, have Courtney Love kill me. My Grade: F DVD Extras: A TV trailer is all you get, I'm thankful for there not being more actually

Yes, I'm another one of those "Did I see this as a youngster or was I dreaming" types. I saw this on "Shock Theater" with Dr. Creep in the late seventies on Ch. 22 WKEF out of Dayton, Ohio and it scarred me for life. What a bizarre and twisted plot for a movie. The "Popcorn", "White Meat or Dark" and "Death by Toaster" scenes alone should guarentee this piece of Drive-In filler a place in the halls of 70s horror history forever.

**Contains Spoilers** Granted, the song "Popcorn" has been replaced on the soundtrack--a loss to lovers of fine music everywhere--and the acting, production values and cheat storyline aren't any better; but the DVD represents the most complete version of this film to be seen in decades. Restored gore highlights include the electric-knife murder (to the extent that the bargain-basement filmmakers could shoot such a scene to begin with); a pre-credits decapitation that seems to have been tacked on just for cheap laffs; a longer shot of one character's torn-off leg; the mass stabbing of another character by hungry cannibals; and the most over-the-top villain, Laughing Crow, making stew with veggies and a human head. Having suffered for years with the censored TV print released on VHS in the mid-1980s, I found the recent DVD release to be a cause for celebration. Watch this DVD along with INVASION OF THE BLOOD FARMERS and celebrate the glory of drive-in days gone by.

This movie blows like a gale force wind coming in off of a dump heap. It's terrible! It's not even a "it's-so-bad-it's-almost-good" movie. It's just really really stupid. A bunch of stupid college students go off with their stupid college professor to a stupid island to search for a stupid creature that may or may not exist, and they all act very stupidly the entire time. How this managed to avoid a good blasting on MST3K is beyond me. First off are the actors, if you can call them that. They read their lines with perfect woodeness - were they hired straight out of a department store window? They might as well have had numbers painted on their foreheads: 1st victim;, the arrogant party boy, 2nd victim; frumpy girl who wants party boy to like her, 3rd victim; incredibly irritating whiny girl whom I wish had been slapped to death, and so on. The monster is the silliest thing I've ever seen, although as the amazingly stupid plot twist reveals, it isn't really a monster anyway. Still, it's so obviously a guy of average height in a white gorilla suit that I cannot believe that the victims didn't think to check for a zipper before they started screaming. Even the music was stupid. If you can get past the "Popcorn" scene without gagging, the rest of the film is filled with stolen pieces of classical music (including that horror movie favorite tension-setter "Dies Irae") that don't fit the action or situations at all. Too bad, because the first murder scene was kind of promising, if unintentionally funny; double homicide with electric knife and toaster in the bath tub! But the film just circles the drain after that point and descends into depths of stupidity that I hadn't known existed. You may want to watch this film just to say you did, or if you really enjoy low-low-low-low budget crap. Otherwise, you're not missing a thing if you should choose to skip this one.

Low-budget work of horror genius at its B-movie best. Hard to find, but worth tracking down. Semi-modern day story of human cannibals that use the legend of the Yeti to get fresh meat for their seven-year reunion gala. Featuring one of the all time great movie lines in "Mr. Henshaw, white meat or dark?" Worth it alone to see the oddball Spencer Sinclair being electrocuted in his bath tub after slashing his girlfriend's throat with a bread-cutting knife. She manages to hold on long enough to dump the toaster into the tub with him. Acting at its finest. Lawrence Olivier was never better.

I'm sorry to say I saw this one back in the 70's at a Drive In.We all laughed at it for months.We tried to determine if it was filmed in someones back yard and what the total budget was.The canniblism aspect was a good spin though.This movie was very good for laughs and comments like " Hey who's idea was it to watch this one?"I think it ranks right up there with Plan 9 ,Microwave Massacre and even Ishtar.Make sure you drink heavily when you watch it.It makes it easier.I do recommend it.Do not spend more than 2 bucks if possible.I would also recommend that you do not watch this one on a first date.Wait till at least the third,and it may even just be your last.

Well, take four studious grad students desiring to impress their professor on a weekend jaunt to "Boot" Island(Heaven knows where that is...but by the looks of the area I would say Upstate New York), a professor intent on finding the Yetti(in New York no less), and a mixture of cheap special effects, implausible situations, horrendous acting, and a lively tune called Popcorn and you have the makings of a great film ...right? Well maybe not great, but certainly entertaining. This film is a joy to behold for lovers of bad films and is thoroughly entertaining on that level. The story is about how four students are invited on a hunt to find a Yetti only to discover they find themselves the meat d'jour on the menu for some evil cult. The film has some wonderful moments of really inspiring bad acting as well as some of the corniest dialogue around.

Amateurish, but unrelentingly bizarre horror movie about a group of graduate students who travel to the Pacific Northwest in search of the Abominable Snowman, who ends up looking suspiciously like the Shaggy D.A. Terrible in pretty much every respect, but so weird and unpredictable you can't take your eyes off it. A must-see for bad movie buffs.
