"SEE YETI. DIE".

"SEE YETI. DIE".

...says the guide to the Himalayan expedition group, and subsequently disappears shortly thereafter. I'd like to say die laughing, but it's really just a bleached recycled gorilla suit a la King Kong 1933, but with a modified headdress. Is that a spoiler? I felt like I almost died of boredom the first 2/3 of this spare, slim, exact hour of a cheapie, but that first 40 minutes already feels like over an hour of constant tedious discussion of Yetilore, lotsa stock footage of mountain trekking till things actually start to happen, and I have to admit the climax wasn't as lame as I would have expected. But totally devoid of any style or flair, the sorry script not helped by stagy acting and perfunctory, static camera work.
