Video: 60

Shout! Factory releases two versions of The Abominable Snowman on BD-50, with minor visual imperfections in the 90-min cut due to SD upconversion. Both versions maintain the original 2.35:1 ratio and feature deep black levels and good grayscale despite some damage.

Audio: 60

Shout!'s DTS-HD Master Audio Dual Mono mix (1652 kbps, 24-bit) presents a decent master with pitch variation and background noise, yet maintains clear dialogue and features Humphrey Searle's Eastern-inspired score, alongside optional English SDH in yellow.

Extra: 56

Insightful and nostalgic extras delve into Hammer's legacy, offering technical, historical, and anecdotal commentary from industry veterans on the UK version, enriching the film experience.

Movie: 66

The Abominable Snowman (1957) is a unique Hammer film focusing on suspense and the unseen, starring Peter Cushing, and explores scientific curiosity versus commercial gain in the Himalayas.
