A few thoughts on The Yeti
This is straight survival-horror territory, a handful of humans against an apex predator in a landscape that already wants them dead. Anyone who loves John Carpenter's The Thing for its frozen isolation and mounting paranoia will recognize the terrain here.
Trapped somewhere isolated while something ancient is already watching
The Yeti's rescue team walks into Alaska's frozen wilderness only to learn something ancient has been tracking them the whole time. The Thing's two versions trap researchers with an alien shapeshifter at an Antarctic station, Prey and AVP send hunters after prey older than civilization, and 30 Days of Night, Sweetheart, The Last of Us and BioShock strand people somewhere just as remote and just as hostile.
Legendary cryptids and giant monsters that turn hunters into prey
The Yeti's search party becomes the hunted the moment they cross into its territory, the same reversal these creature features run on. Yeti: Curse of the Snow Demon takes on the same cryptid directly, Abominable does the same for Bigfoot, and Komodo, Crocodile, Splinter and Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla each let an outsized, ancient predator dictate the terms.
Small towns where the monster hunting people is older than the town itself
The Yeti has been stalking its patch of Alaska long before any search party arrived, and these stories root that same dread in a community rather than a wilderness. Silver Bullet and Dark Harvest let a small town's old-world monster feed on its own, while The Boogeyman and Nightbreed bring the threat right into family homes and city outskirts.
Manga where something monstrous is hunting people who cannot escape
The Yeti traps its searchers in wilderness with nowhere to run, and these manga build the same closed trap out of monsters instead of terrain. Parasyte and Tokyo Ghoul turn ordinary people into hosts or hunters for something inhuman, The Promised Neverland and The Drifting Classroom cage children with creatures that see them as food, and Uzumaki lets a curse do the same work on an entire town.
