Winterbeast is a 1992 American horror film directed by Christopher Thies. A low-budget production, it has gained retrospective popularity to the point of being considered a cult film.
The plot revolves around two rangers inquiring about disappearances in a forest of New England (Massachusetts[1][2]).
Winterbeast is "a collection of scenes that were filmed over the course of most of a decade."[3] It uses both live action filming and stop-motion animation.[4][5]
Vinegar Syndrome released a Blu-ray version in 2021.[6]
Winterbeast has been called a ’regional disasterpiece’[3] and characterized as ’messy and scatterbrained in the best possible ways.’[4] Most retrospective reviews praised the film for its originality.[7][8]
The film's obvious extreme lack of continuity is noted by all reviewers.[9]
