of 2006!
AIN'T
IT COOL
Horror
Yearbook's 'Class of 2006'
ABOMINABLE Abominable introduces us to a major new talent
in writer/director Ryan Schifrin. The Bigfoot legend has
always needed a really first class treatment and it gets
it with this fast, funny, scary rampaging monster flick.
It also boasts some of the best kill scenes of the year.
I'll never forget the naked woman snapped in two, Bigfoot
stomping a screaming woman's head to mush or the climactic
face chomping.
But what really impresses amongst all the great gory violence
is Schifrin's solid characterizations and plotting. He could've
just gone the easy route and wowed us with the great gore
effects but he ups the ante by making us actually care about
Matt McCoy's wheelchair bound hero as he desperately tries
to save the day. Not many directors can make a low budget
horror title that is breathlessly suspenseful, funny, scary
and touching but Schifrin does. He's one to look out for.

10. ABOMINABLE
– I'm always nervous when it comes to a new creature
feature or something that debuts on the Sci-Fi channel,
but Ryan Schifrin's debut Abominable was a pleasant surprise!
It had a solid straight forward story, some hot babes, some
cool gore FX, and a killer lookin' Bigfoot monster. It's
hard not to get giddy during a film that features appearances
with Jeffrey Combs, Lance Henriksen and Dee Wallace Stone.
You also can't go wrong with the foxy Tiffany Shepis, who
has one of my fave deaths scenes of the year in this movie.
(*Now available on DVD.)
 If
you were in attendance this past Saturday for the Screamfest
Horror Film Festival's special closing night screening of
HATCHET you would have caught a very special treat -- a
new short film by filmmakers Ryan (ABOMINABLE) Schifrin
and Adam (HATCHET) Green entitled King
in the Box.
The comedy/horror film is now online so everyone who missed
this puppy on the big screen can now watch it in the comfort
of their own homes. What's the film about? Don't ask...
WATCH!
