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.

Plot

The plot revolves around two rangers inquiring about disappearances in a forest of New England (Massachusetts).

Production

Winterbeast is "a collection of scenes that were filmed over the course of most of a decade." It uses both live action filming and stop-motion animation.

Home video release

Vinegar Syndrome released a Blu-ray version in 2021.

Reception

Winterbeast has been called a ’regional disasterpiece’ and characterized as ’messy and scatterbrained in the best possible ways.’ Most retrospective reviews praised the film for its originality.

The film's obvious extreme lack of continuity is noted by all reviewers.

A review found the animation "pathetic". "You really can't imagine a better time with a bad film.", commented Greg Goodwill in Screem.
