Schon Ende der 1960er träumte Special-Effects-Meister David Allen von einem Herzensprojekt, dessen Happy End er aber nicht erleben durfte: Als ein echter Yeti gefunden wird, suchen Forscher:innen in Nepal nach weiteren Exemplaren; was sie finden, ist der Eingang zu einer fremden und gefährlichen Welt. Die Mischung aus Abenteuerfilm und Sci-Fi versprüht den Charme einer untergegangenen Kinoära: 1994 gedreht und erst 2023 von Allens Protegé Chris Endicott fertiggestellt, steht der Film mit seinen ausgefeilten Stop-Motion-Tricks noch voll in der Tradition eines Als Dinosaurier die Erde beherrschten statt der von Jurassic Park. Ray Harryhausen would surely have approved! (tt)
