The film begins with a small group going on an expedition to the Himalayas. A professor is looking for evidence that the Abominable Snowman exists and a young lady is looking for her brother who disappeared during a previous expedition. Although they do seem to have SOME evidence that the Yeti exists during this trek, their guide, Varga, insists that it's all nonsense. However, eventually they learn that Varga has a secret--and you'll need to see the film to learn what it is.
While I am pretty sure "Man Beast" would never win any awards, it is sure a lot better than its IMDb score of 2.9 would indicate. 2.9 would seem to indicate that the film is awful--really, really awful. However, despite having a low budget, I didn't think the film was bad at all and makes for a decent time-passer. Now I am NOT saying it's a great film--it IS cheap and there is a very extensive use of stock footage. There also is a really bad cliché near the end, as the woman just stands back as the hero fights the villain. Think about it--if the villain wins, horrible things will happen to the lady and yet she just stands there...doing NOTHING. But, on the other hand, the Yeti costume is pretty good for such a low budget film, the writing, directing and acting are all competent and the film DID keep my interest. Worth a look and a decent example of a movie that is better than it's budget would usually indicate.
