Deadly Descent: The Abominable Snowman (also known as Deadly Descent, The Abominable Snowman or Yeti)[1][2][3] is a 2013 action horror television film directed by Marko Mäkilaakso and starring Chuck Campbell, Adrian Paul, Lauren O'Neil, Nicholas Boulton, Elizabeth Croft and Sean Teale.[4] The film was shot in Bulgaria.[1][4]
Plot[edit]
In 1992, a small group of back country skiers climb Glacier Peak, one of the most remote mountains in the Cascade Range. Led by Jake Tanner, the group is high up on the mountain when they disappear, never to be seen again. Years later, Brian Tanner (Chuck Campbell) – Jake's son – is going to find out what really happened to his father, no matter the cost, eventually ending up face to face with the deadly creature that lives on the mountain.

Reception[edit]
The film received various negative reviews, including one at The Movie Scene, mocking its release/titles history and inconsistencies in its plot: "One thing you can't criticize this movie for not having is names, I have seen it called Deadly Descent, Abominable Snowman, the combination of the two Deadly Descent: The Abominable Snowman and even the even longer Deadly Descent: The Legend of the Abominable Snowman. What you also can't criticize Deadly Descent for is lack of back story as it starts with two climbers having a run in with a monster on the mountain, another skier/ snowboarder hitting the mountain and finding tracks and then a group of climbers going up there whilst a pilot hits the bottle in the bar. Even more amazing is the fact that all these things tie together and you need to pay attention to pick up on the connections."[6]
An extensive entry in Ski Films: A Comprehensive Guide found the film mediocre.[5]
