"The remarkable The Abominable Snowman (sometimes with of the Himalayas tacked on) doesn't enjoy the reputation it deserves. Few reviewers have had much to say about it. Monster fans aren't charmed by its reluctance to show its title characters. Hammer aficionados would rather discuss that company's Technicolored horrors. But this Nigel Kneale adaptation of his own story and teleplay, like his earlier Hammer Quatermass series, is a superior science fiction film of rare sophistication and power... Instead of creating the cardboard villains seen in most ecologically themed films... Kneale makes all of his characters basically decent... Their values are just unenlightened and Kneale doesn't suggest that an appreciation of a 'correct' point of view is going to redeem either of them." - Colin Covert, DVD Talk
