OK, lets review... What was the idea again? Nothing! This film has little to no plot, and even less explanation to whatever plot there is. The first shot is a guy sitting in a chair. When his friend asks if he's OK, he says he's fine and turns his face to his friend. Well, his face is half burnt, and he picks and eats at his guts through a hole in his side while a stop-motion tentacle man appears and the other guy falls over in fright. Then we cut to a shot of a skull bursting out of a guys chest. The former scene with the guy who picks at his gut is never explained, nor is it revisited ever again in the film. Then the movie starts with some ranger guys discussing a missing person on a mountain. They just run around looking for him and more people start to disappear. Well some sort of lodge owner or something is later found to be the villain, summoning up all these weird creatures. It's cause he wants to rule the world, or something, or I don't know. I mean I was paying attention, and I don't even know whats going on. Anyway these creatures are called up and start attacking people. The first one is a totem pole, which grabs naked chicks out of their homes, looks at them, and throws them against the wall. Then we have some sort of hairy sleestak creature that kills two hikers. Afterwards a six armed ET which kills a ranger. And then we come to the dragon dinosaur chicken thing that bites off some dudes head. Then we see a giant hawk thing which runs around cawing for 1 minute, then disappears.I like how whenever the monsters show up, they run around, cause some mayhem, then disappear, and afterwords they are never referred to again. All of these creatures are stop motion, and not good stop motion mind you, it's like a little six year old after they see a Ray Harryhausen movie and decide to make a creature out of plato. There's also a makeup corpse and the skull, which is seen again with the same clip, but still never explained. and there's the final monster which is some giant or something. HOnestly this movie makes no sense. So i guess you'll just have to leave your brain at the door and just sit back and enjoy. Honestly its a pretty bad movie that makes troll 2 look good in comparison, but it's definitely still the best worst movie ever made. Like the tag line says it must be seen to be believed...

'Winterbeast' definitely raises the bar for bad filmmaking techniques. I honestly just don't even know where to begin with this one, this is such a treasure for fans of god awful bad cinema. The acting talent is below minimum, and the claymation effects which were the original class project for this film seem to only last about five minutes of screen time, with the rest of the film as horribly dragged out dialogue of "character development" if you can call it that, and contrived, stale plot which somewhat resembles what the bast**d child of 'Jaws' and 'The Evil Dead' would look like down to a tee. Basically, just take the premise that 'Jaws' handed off to the thousands of films that would use it's template in the decades to follow, and replace the shark with a totem pole or a demon or whatever, and we have one of the greatest, most awful pieces of independent filmmaking ever.The film is listed as being made in 1991, but it comes off looking more like a project from 1971 that was found in some dusty basement shack of a storage room, obviously due to the use of ancient camera equipment. This all just adds to the nostalgic feel of this gem even more, this is the kind of sh*t that I thrive on, and if you're reading this and have been fortunate enough to view this piece of badness, you probably thrive on this kind of terrible, atmospheric lore as well. Students and admirers of Charles B. Pierce's low-budget goodness 'The Legend Of Boggy Creek' and other films of that ilk will be ecstatic.WINTERBEAST -----7/10.

This has to be the worst movie ever made. At least Plan 9 From Outer Space had a plot you could follow, this film doesn't even provide that. It's a convolted mess that never deserved to be released to the public. Hopefully the original reel is rotting in someones's basement or workshed so no one else can be tarnished or cursed with this monstrosity!

This is so horrifically low-budget that you'd swear it was made during the dark ages (aka, the 70's). The plot makes no sense whatsoever, but it's great fun to watch with a group of friends.
