About Half Human: The Story of the Abominable Snowman
An American scientist tells two colleagues about the finding of an abominable snowman living in the Japanese alps, where it is worshipped by a remote tribe as a god, and how it was discovered by modern man after it raided a skiers shelter following an avalanche, killing all inside. This is an adaptation of the Japanese film "Jūjin Yuki Otoko" (1955) with added American-made footage, narration, and music.
Directed by Kenneth G. Crane, Ishirō Honda, Half Human: The Story of the Abominable Snowman leans on a strong ensemble — John Carradine, Momoko Kôchi, Akira Takarada — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1957.
