Winterbeast (1992)

October Challenge Day 4

What in the.... WHAT IS THIS?

At least that's what you'll say right off the bat with this one. The tag line "It must be seen to be believed" is TRUE. Let's talk about:

Winterbeast

First of all, this film is inappropriate in so many ways. I lost count.

I mean, it's about a giant "totem pole" that goes on a killing rampage in the woods. Sorta. Kinda. Uh, to summarize, this film doesn't know what it's doing regarding native North American cultures. BUT it is  humiliating white people, so....

This film is a child's drawing come-to-life. 

Complete with claymation, an utterly ridiculous story that just rambles on, and all told with an unchecked and deranged amount of enthusiasm and creativity. 

So folks are being killed by a mystical creature in the woods - I really wanted to watch a creature feature tonight so that caught my attention already - and right after I told myself "sold", then pushed play, immediately my senses were assaulted with abstract chaos.

This is a film you experience. 

You'll be unprepared for everything, and I mean, everything! It carries a sort of "...oh so you like obscure horror, have you seen Winterbeast?!" final boss energy, and then you'll laugh and laugh about all the weird rabbit holes you've been down. Not dissimilar to Slaughter Farm. Oh hey, actually, make this a double feature!

Inappropriate, WILD, creative, Very Bad, Very Good, and just soaking in the juices of it's own making - this is a film to watch for a cinephile movie night. The entertainment will never stop.

Personally, I would like to show this film to a group of friends and just watch them loose their minds in laughter and good times.

I watched this film on Tubi or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this wild creature feature ride. 

PS and unrelated: Typing this up as I'm watching the Mariners in their playoffs - go Mariners! My brother just told me that they may or may not have hired an Etsy witch to win these latest games, and I kinda really love that. Happy Saturday night!
