The curse of the pharaohs is an ancient belief that those who disturb the tombs of Egyptian pharaohs will be cursed with bad luck or even death. This belief gained popularity in the 19th and early 20th centuries, as a number of individuals involved in the excavation or study of pharaohs' tombs died unexpectedly or experienced misfortune. One of the most well-known examples of the curse's alleged influence is the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. Lord Carnarvon, the British archaeologist who financed and directed the excavation, died shortly after the tomb's discovery in 1922. This led to widespread speculation that he had fallen victim to the curse. However, scientific evidence suggests that his death was likely the result of an infection caused by a mosquito bite.
Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon
Surviving the plane crash was only the beginning . After their plane crashes into uncharted territory in the Himalayas, the survivors set out to find help in the freezing cold. As the days pass and with no sign of a rescue, tensions begin to mount. The survivors wrestle with their consciences as they realise that in order to survive, they must use the bodies of the dead as food. But when it appears that something else is already feeding upon the dead, the survivors realise that their biggest danger is not hunger but something infinitely more sinister: a legendary Yeti is stalking them and is moving in for the kill. Can they outsmart the beast or will they die trying?

However, scientific evidence suggests that his death was likely the result of an infection caused by a mosquito bite. Despite the lack of credible evidence supporting the curse's existence, it continues to captivate the imagination of the public and popular culture. It is often depicted in movies, books, and other forms of media, perpetuating the notion that disturbing pharaohs' tombs will invite a curse.

"everybody is somebody's brother, sister."that's not even remotely true
"If you want to help, help us find our friend, she was taken by a Yeti."
This is just one example of the sort of amusing dialogue throughout this movie. From the first scene onwards this movie is laughably bad, an American football team's plane crash lands in the Himalayas where the start getting picked off by one of the most ridiculous looking movie monsters ever. This Yeti is like the bastard offspring of Chewbacca and Vigo from Ghostbusters 2 after a bad blue rinse job, for most of the film its a slow, lumbering almost Frankenstein like monster until around the half way point where it starts to leap around like some sort of giant grasshopper. At one point…
I’m a graphic designer by trade so I always judge films based on their opening title designs. Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon, aka Yeti, starts with a black screen and a white “Yeti” written in a generic script font. The credits are the same font in white, but with the default drop shadow effect. This tells me that the producers knew the film was so great that they didn’t have to waste either time or money on talent. Yeti is the 14th film in the critically acclaimed* ScyFi’s Maneater collection, which includes classics like Rise of the Gargoyles, Sand Serpents and Malibu Shark Attack. It features two actors I remember from 90s TV, Ed Marinaro who was one of…
3/10 Outside a handful of laughable moments, okay gore and practical effects, and decent pacing, this Sci-Fi Channel original movie from 2008 was pretty terrible overall.
With terrible acting and dialogue, a plot that makes about as much sense as eating a rotten banana, horrible writing, CGI straight out of a bad PS2/Xbox game along with some shoddy green screen, unremarkable cinematography, and the Yeti creature looks like they’ve used the costume from the Jim Carrey Grinch movie and just sprayed paint it white. I really don’t recommend this movie whatsoever. It’s pretty much a crappy rip-off of the 1993 survival thriller Alive but with a Grinch-looking Yeti in it. Watched on YouTube.
SyFy does it again. As dumb as this movie is, I remember watching it when I was younger, and I remember really liking it. It’s not bad, but it’s not great, or very good, really.
the yeti invented roblox runningHorroctober 2023#35 This low budget horror film shot in Vancouver about a couple of guys who supposedly crashed their plane in the Himalayas and then encounter a yeti has at least some nice ice and snow images. The setting with the crashed football team is reminiscent of SUPERVIVIENTES DE LOS ANDES (1976) or the remake ALIVE (1993) about a real plane crash involving a rugby team in the Andes. The question arises as to what they can eat. One suggests eating the bodies from the plane. You'll have to see for yourself whether they do that. Then there are other elements, like the Yeti monster, which is definitely interested in human flesh. This is perfectly fine for a presumably low-budget flick. There are certainly worse Yeti films. boxd.it/3Maow

Wäre der Film so schnell wie der Abspann gelaufen, hätte er womöglich Potential gehabt. So jedoch erleben wir einen generischen Creature-Horror in Kombination mit einer Abwandlung von The Grey - Unter Wölfen. Dumme Entscheidungen der Protagonist*innen werden lediglich noch durch teilweise gruseligen Animationen übertrumpft, die aber immer noch besser aussehen, als der Mann im Yetikostüm, welches viel zu billig geschneidert wurde. Von den gefühlten 300 Euro Produktionsbudget wurde offenbar nicht mal alles aufgebraucht.
“If you want to help, help us find our friend, she was taken by a Yeti."
Yeti: Curse of The Snow Demon is a 2008 action horror movie directed by Paul Ziller which follows a plane flight carrying a college football team that crashes in the Himalayas. Surviving the crash was only part of their problem. Trying not to become a meal for the monster lurking in the mountains will be their greater challenge. With a whopping 3.3/10 on IMDb, I went into this with low expectations, expectations had the film managed to adhere to. Featuring shoddy acting and a lack of actual tension or fear, this film works more for hilarity than anything else. The titular Yeti looks decent…
NICHT ANSCHAUEN. Hatte Bock auf nen richtigen Trash Film und hab den vor ~10 Jahren schon mal bei Tele5 gesehen. Der Regisseur sollte lebenslanges Filmverbot bekommen aber irgendwie ist der Film auch so schlecht, dass er fast schon wieder gut ist
American football dudes and dudettes survive an airplane crash in the Himalayas only to encounter a freakin' yeti. These people are totally clueless and are complete crap at telling whether people are actually dead. And crap at like making fires, making decisions, first aid ( "I'm a trainer -I only do bruises and sprains" - excuse given for not even attempting to administer the basics of first aid). The yeti itself seemed to be suffering from mange. But all hope not lost as the said yeti developed super-jumping powers half-way through and was able leap over any stupid bits with ease.
1 star for the ultra-quick decision to go cannibal
1 star for the arm splint
Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon (2008) Movie
In reality, the deaths and misfortunes associated with the curse can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the harsh conditions of the excavation sites, exposure to toxic substances such as mold or bacteria, and sheer coincidence. Many individuals involved in the excavation of pharaohs' tombs lived long and prosperous lives, without experiencing any negative consequences. The belief in the curse of the pharaohs reflects a fascination with ancient Egypt and the mysteries surrounding its history. It is important to approach these stories with a critical mindset, separating fact from fiction, and acknowledging that superstitions and legends can often have more to do with cultural beliefs and storytelling traditions than with objective reality..

The controls were frustrating and unresponsive, which took away from the overall gaming experience. On top of that, the repetitive missions and lack of variety made the game feel monotonous. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I found "A Origins: Curse of the Pharaohs" to be quite repetitive and uninteresting. The side missions lacked depth and became boring after a while. The combat mechanics were also lackluster, making the fights feel more like button-mashing than strategic battles. While the setting and visuals were impressive, the overall gameplay and story left much to be desired. It was a disappointing experience for me.
4. Michael - 2 stars - "A Origins: Curse of the Pharaohs" failed to capture my attention. The pacing was off, with long stretches of tedious exploration and minimal action. The puzzles were also too simplistic and uninspiring. Additionally, the AI of the enemies felt too easy to defeat, removing any sense of challenge. Overall, the game lacked excitement and failed to deliver a captivating experience.

Save your money and skip this one.
