Abominable is a 2006 horror film written and directed by Ryan Schifrin, the son of composer Lalo Schifrin, and starring Matt McCoy, Dee Wallace, Jeffrey Combs, Rex Linn, Phil Morris, and Lance Henriksen.In the town of Flatwoods, Preston Rogers is being brought back home after months of rehabilitative therapy following a climbing accident at the infamous (and poorly named) Suicide Rock, an incident which killed his wife and has forever cost Preston the use of his legs; he is a paraplegic, confined to a wheelchair. His doctors have placed him in the care of dickweed physical therapist Otis Wilhelm.Preston really doesn't want to be here, or anywhere, really, as he is depressed over his wife's death and such. The fact his house is in the shadow of Suicide Rock isn't helping his wounded psyche any.When Otis leaves to run to the grocery store, a bored Preston decides to do some birdwatching with his binoculars when some college girls drive up to occupy the rented cabin across the road for the weekend. With little else to do that doesn't remind him of his wife, Preston alternates between watching the girls and watching the woods. Preston sees, out of the corner of his eye, something big and hairy swoop in and snatch one of the girls, and by the time he brings the binoculars up again, she is gone leaving only her phone behind.Something is out there in the woods. Something big, mean and hungry...No relation to the Dreamworks/Pearl Studio film of the same name, nor does it have anything to do with the book series. | |

Genre Savvy | |
| Abominable / int_1777688d | comment |
Genre Savvy: Quite often. CJ using drawers to barricade the door deleted scene, objecting to going alone in the woods after someone vanished and yelling to keep away from the window as the girls run. Michelle acknowleding it’s too early to report Karen missing. The Darwin award joke. Dr. Suessmeyer saying this creature too big for bigfoot and he won’t stop hunting. McBride not writing off Preston's call as a prank. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Abominable / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: If you go by the title and Dr. Suessmeyer's belief, the monster is not a North American sasquatch, but a yeti...which raises the question of what it's doing in a completely different continent away from its home. Also, a wildebeest skull is seen in the monster's cave...which is odd since wildebeest are found in Africa, not North America. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Abominable / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Several details are only revealed in the commentary and "making of" featurette. Preston made his money through computers and part of Otis's Jerkass behavior towards him comes from class resentment. Michelle is the one getting married (the film gives indications towards both her and Karen being the bride-to-be). One of the girls (presumably Karen, the only one not mentioned as being part of the group when they were younger) met some of the others in college. And it was marijuina that CJ was smoking in the bathroom. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Abominable / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: This film portrays sasquatches as far more violent and destructive than traditional folklore depicts them. The sasquatch in this film is extremely violent and dangerous, being a bloodthirsty Maneater. In contrast, most folklore depicts Bigfoot as rather timid and peaceful. Justified if you take the title and Dr. Suessmeyer's belief at face value and assume this is actually a yeti, as the yeti is traditionally depicted as far more violent than a North American sasquatch. | |

Bolivian Army Ending | |
| Abominable / int_79a0e313 | comment |
Bolivian Army Ending: The movie ends with the sheriff and some other cops looking over the site of the final battle (and even if they do not believe it was Bigfoot, it's obvious that something big, furry and very destructive died here), but there is no body... and when they shine their flashlights towards the trees, the eyes of a dozen more monsters, some bigger than the beast that just died, glint right back. | |

Ambiguously Evil: The other creatures didn't join in attacks. An optimistic, although unlikely, possibility is that the one we see was a black sheep and they might have taken bodies away out of respect or to help instead of to eat them. | |

Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti: The monster is described by a scientist as being "more like the abominable snowman of the Himalayas," which seems to be the movie's way of justifying the title which implies a Yeti more than Sasquatch/Bigfoot.
