**_"Jaws" rip-off Bigfoot flick (made for TV)_** It's got quite a few positives: Gorgeous alpine locations (filmed at Crested Butte Mtn Ski Resort, Colorado); a very likable 70s' cast, including Robert Logan, Bo Svenson, Yvette Mimieux and Clint Walker; and a decent-looking malevolent creature for a TV film of that era, although you barely get to see him. Unfortunately the flick lacks originality as the plot rips off "Jaws" verbatim. The only difference is that it takes place at a ski resort rather than a beach and the monster is a sasquatch rather than a shark. Like "Jaws" there's a scene where a bear is hunted and killed, making the skiers think the slopes are safe again, but the main characters know it's not the culprit; one of them even states that the dead bear's stomach should be opened up to see if human remains can be found. I hope Peter Benchley got royalties! Despite the similarities, "Snowbeast" lacks the suspense and pizazz of "Jaws." It's actually kind of boring, but worthwhile if you're in an alpine mood; or if you're a fan of the four stars. Any film with Clint Walker can't be all bad, after all. Plus Yvette looks cute in a tight ski outfit. FINAL SAY: I've seen "Snowbeast" three times now and always enjoy it despite its lack of originality and slightly lethargic spirit. It's a must for devotees of the Bigfoot mythos, as well as fans of the cast and those wanting to see great alpine locations. Just keep in mind it's a 70's TV movie. It runs 1 hour, 37 minutes. GRADE: C+
