Grizzly Rage

Yeah when I first saw the commercials for this movie I was like. Oh God this movie will be boring. I was right. It starts out with four college students. (All who look like they are in there late 20's) driving down the road obviously fast forwarded listening to awful music. They break into a park and run over a baby bear. Soon they are followed by its mother. Every time she kills someone animated blots of blood splatter. And I don't even want to comment on the car which over heats, flips, and amazingly enough still runs.

The acting was so bad I rooted for the bear the entire time. I can't even believe that they made and aired this junk.

Rating 1 out of 10

This was a recommendation otherwise it'd likely be years down the line before I had to endure it and endure it I did. Yikes!

So 4 20 somethings venture into the forest driving recklessly and run down a baby bear. Momma isn't happy and goes after them, the rest writes itself.

Here's the problem, no wait sorry here is one of the problems.......this movie is an example of swinging above your weight. If you don't have the budget to make something then don't, keep your movie content within the keeping's of money available to you. Because of this it all looks ugly and when things happen they disguise it with a combination of bad camerawork and awful blood on the lens sfx.

You know that you've failed outright in your movies creation when the viewer roots for the antagonist. These idiots killed a baby bear, of course I was cheering the bear on. Truth be told I'd likely have done so anyway as these generic paint by numbers characters did absolutely nothing to make me even remotely care about them.

Bear attack movies are generally poor but off the top of my head I believe this is the worst. This is lower in quality than the standard rushed Scyfy originals that get pounded out each week.

Simply don't do it, it's *Drumroll* too hard to bear.

The Good:

Above par soundtrack

Has the right ending

The Bad:

Awful sfx

On this budget they were swinging above their weight

The characters stupidity defies belief

Manages to be really boring

Vast amounts of the movie are essentially filler

This movie is brutal from start to finish. Obviously the writer/director don't necessarily believe in the old adage of "anything worth doing is worth doing well". The director has no knowledge of bear behavior or safety. Which you should have if your going to make a movie with a bear. First of all you cant just hide around a tree/corner from a bear, cause bear's have a keen sense of smell. Second, the amplified bear sounds and the shots of the bear at least initially were horrible. The night scenes...you cant hardly see anything, not to mention some of the other camera work. And the ending is brutal...well why would it be any different than the rest of the movie. I cant believe that this movie made it past the editing phase.

Wow is this stupid.

First off, you have 4 teens (that look like 30-year-olds) cruising in their Jeep Cherokee at about 60 miles per hour while listening to awful pop music. They brake into some park and accidentally run over a baby bear. But...uh oh, MOMMY'S ANGRY!!

Thats right! Mommy bear is angry! Good thing she drinks toxic waste from a pond that makes her grow 2 her size (I'm dead serious about that.)! This film is simply about 90 minutes of bad dialog, and, occasionally, a giant bear. But there are so many huge plot holes. 1, a jeep that has been flipped over TWICE, hit a tree, and over heats, STILL RUNS. 2, an already large grizzly drinks toxic waste from a pond that Doesn't kill it. 3, Even though the bear in the film is a female, it sometimes has male genitalia. WTF?

This film also is in my top 10 for 'Worst Endings Ever'. Why? Because: When the last 2 survivors are trying to run away, one trips and falls. The other person goes back to help, but he says "No! Leave me here!" but the other one says "No! We can still make it!" They argue this for about 45 seconds before the bear gets them. And when the bear gets them, fake animated blood splatters on the screen, like something you'd see in a Windows Moviemaker project.

There were 2 things I liked. 1: The bear used was never CGI, it was actually a trained bear that was 100% real, living and breathing. 2: This is one of the few movies where the monster actually wins and kills everyone. Even though the execution sucked, it was still a nice twist.

Overall, its STUPID. Its really, REALLY bad, but if you wanna see it, I wont stop you.

And you will too if you see this, since the bear is probably the best actor, followed by the bear cub (and he was dead).

A bunch of dimwitted "Darwin Award" winners decide to take themselves out of the gene pool and get in a car, and (by montage sequence) travel several hundred miles down to some trashy looking enclosed private property. Smashing their way through barriers the "fun" begins. How they knew this place existed, why they thought it would be cool to go there, or why this movie was ever made are just some of the questions never answered. They mow down a bear cub and destroy their radiator, all the while howling and screaming along with their screeching tires.

Mercifully, the mommy bear comes along to exact revenge, and none too soon. She can't off these idiots fast enough, even though the footage of the bear is obviously some unused documentary footage from Animal Planet. Like all low budget movies, you'll know who's next to get it from the spliced in stock footage. The cabin scene is the only scene that was remotely well done, but then it's back to stupid behavior by the next victim who leaves the safety of the cabin when he hears the bear growling.

Moronic.
