What Is Half Human: The Story of the Abominable Snowman About?

The premise of Half Human: The Story of the Abominable Snowman without spoilers.

At 1,400 lb, this frozen fury moves like a man—half‑human, half‑beast, pure monster. An American scientist tells two colleagues about an abominable snowman in the Japanese Alps, worshipped as a god by a remote tribe, discovered after it raided a skier’s shelter in an avalanche, killing all inside. The film adapts the 1955 Japanese picture “Jūjin Yuki Otoko,” with added American narration, footage and music.
