Bear

I would rate this film a 1, except for the beautiful job that the director did in filming this piece of crap. Just another film where an indie director came up with an idea for a horror flick and then padded it with enough 'couples talking' (and usually not about the threat they are facing) to make up 90 percent of the film.

I miss when indie film makers under-wrote the dialog and did a horrible job at making gore, while making a complete horror flick.

PS.

Whoever (and I'm not looking this up) did the score for this flick did a very good job.

PSS.

It is entirely Dread Central's fault that I saw this film because they included it in last month's Box of Dread. (I forgive them. :D)

OK...where do i begin. this is my first time on here. i had just watched this movie and i felt i had to say something about how terrible it was. when the movie ended i couldn't believe what in the hell i just watched. so i had to make an account to say this...first of all i thought the bear was the best actor in the movie. the others i thought were comical and were the worst actors ever...i love B horror movies and this one really took the cake, worst i have ever seen. love how the bear was almost like jason from Friday the 13th and he could show up any where at anytime. and what the hell was up with the ending the two brothers think they can take a bear by beating on him with a wooden guitar??? hahaha. i did get my laughs out of this tho...and the budget with this movie must of been rock bottom on the list. cuz there were so many flaws with the set and some dude being caught in the camera scene. my English teacher always said that i should reread my papers, and definitely the director did not do this. Bear is OK if you have nothing better to do and get a few laughs out.

This was an awful movie...and I loved it. I haven't seen many Bear movies...unless you count muppet movies with Fozzy Bear...but this one took the cake. HAHA CAKE! This movie looked irresistibly awful from the Redbox machine and I waited about two months to finally see it! It was all I hoped it would be: terrible acting, a truly despicable script all with a giant bear! I watched it with five college guys in the room and the night was made complete with snacking on Teddy Grahams!

In short What was Good: That line where the woman tries to make a metaphor between her terrifying situation and the plot of "Ground Hog's Day."

What Was Bad: The rest of it.

Enjoy.

A story of 4 people trapped inside a van in a forest with a bear that surrounds them.

Basic story - nothing in depth and no major effects.

It's a bit of a bore in fact. I however found myself rooting for the bear to tear them all to shreds.

In the credits there are "extras" and "extras casting" however, there are no extras in the film so why is it even listed? There is another movie - much the same - entitled The Bear and it's almost the same story...so if you see this, you don't need to see that - and if you see that, you don't need to see this.

Another fact - the middle of the forest at night time is very bright for some reason.

It should be titled, "CuJaws: Just when you thought it was safe to get back in a minivan." This movie rips off "Jaws" (actually "Jaws II") and "Cujo" in one fell swoop, capturing exactly none of the fun or terror of either. Not one original idea. But, since original ideas seem to be in short supply these days, this movie is just on par with the rest. Summary: A van load of truly annoying characters mess with two bears, and pay the price for being stupid. An alternate title could be, "Natural Consequences." Had a character recorded this misadventure on his/her phone, it could have ripped off yet another movie, the imitation "Godzilla" one set in New York 3-4 years ago. So many missed opportunities...
