The legendary monster is roaring back, starting in Toronto.
Hardscrabble Film Company, Torfoot Entertainment and Radiant Films have released the first-look clip seen below from THE YETI, which they’re screening Monday, September 8 at the TIFF Lightbox as part of the Toronto International Film Festival Market Screenings. The movie, which we first told you about here, was directed by William Pisciotta and Gene Gallerano and stars Brittany Allen (WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE), Eric Nelsen, Jim Cummings (THE WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW), Corbin Bernsen (THE DENTIST), Gallerano, Christina Bennett Lind, Heather Lind and genre vet William Sadler. The synopsis: “In the remote wilds of northern Alaska, a famed adventurer and an oil tycoon vanish without a trace. Their children set out on a desperate rescue mission only to discover that something far older and more dangerous than the Arctic itself has awakened. A prehistoric predator is stalking them. The legend is real. The hunter is THE YETI.”
“We created THE YETI as an elevated creature feature, harkening back to the golden age of monster movies when horror relied on practical effects, suspense, and well-rounded characters,” say Pisciotta and Gallerano. “We love that 1950s Cinemascope sentiment combined with our backyard JJ Abrams-style filmmaking and aesthetic.”
