Monster Grizzly

In fact, I'm a fan of some movies that are lower than B and I've watched more than once. I'm particularly a fan of grizzly and shark movies. Low budget movies don't have to be bad and there's usually something redeeming to be found. There's little redeeming in this one. Bad story/plot, bad acting, bad cinematography, bad blood, bad CGI, bad kills make for one mother of a bad movie.

I had great hopes, too. Nature takes revenge against man ravaging the land is a great trope. Into The Grizzly Maze is a favorite of mine, showing a rogue bear going against man. I hoped for something similar here, but was destined for disappointment. I ploughed on until the end, but decided to review to warn others. Don't waste your time.

The concept was good, the cinematgraphy was nice, ohhhhh the acting was so poor. The lack of actual grizzly attach sequences just displays the bare bones budget of this movie.

Some good character moments between the two protagonists, but the acting really brought down those segments. Almost zero sfx for the blood and gore. But I wasn't bored with this movie, so I'll give it credit for that. Oh and this is a movie with and environmental message. The bear is pissed that his habitat has been polluted so he goes on a rampage of revenge on humankind. And how does a grizzly attack and kill humans armed with rifles and shotguns. Were they all that slow on the draw?

In the middle of a big snowstorm, a small mountain town sheriff and his crew grow alarmed when a series of strange attacks reveals a rampaging grizzly bear despite being out-of-season for such antics, and when it's revealed the creature is stalking the community must try to stop it.

This one wasn't too bad but did have some issues. One of the main factors involved in this one is the rather intriguing concept at play here where the film acts more as a snapshot of the town in the midst of the bear's rampage. That everyone around the town is aware of how out of character it is for the bear to be doing what it's doing, the rest of the time here is spent on the build-up to its rampage where we get a pretty solid idea of the town members and their lives in the community. With the freezing snow-covered ground and remote, isolated conditions prominent throughout here, this all creates the kind of intriguing setup that provides a fine grounding for the idea of the bear coming to seek revenge on the town for the destruction of its habitat. Still, there are some major problems throughout here. The main overriding drawback with this one is the film's ambitious story means there's nothing really here for genre fans who are expecting something ornate or spectacular to happen. This one never shows the main bear as all we get are aftermath shots of the violence which resembles indeterminate crime-scene splatter as every attack utilizes the formula of someone finding it's there, but it fades to black before anything can happen. Not showing anything here in the attacks and featuring all sorts of inept-looking filmmaking with ugly shaky-camera shots or awkward transitions that highlight how low a budget this has. With more shots of people talking than anything else in here, this one can be quite troublesome.

Rated Unrated/R: Language, Violence, and Brief Nudity.

Anyone that would give this film anything more than a zero is smoking the devils lettuce. Was this made with a cell phone by people on drugs? My God almighty, what has America come to? How something like this could be put on demand and or on a venue like to be or any other streaming platform is an absolute mystery to me. Apparently anybody with any kind of made in China cheap digital camera and 50 bucks can make a movie. I only gave it one star because I had to. I hate to hurt the feelings of the guy that made this but it can't be helped. Although there are hundreds of movies like this on streaming venues nowadays, and it's just a mystery to me, how this kind of absolute garbage can be put forth as a movie. The way these scenes played out gave me such a nauseated feeling I considered going to the hospital.

Wow this film was so awful on pretty much every level you could think of, bad special effects, unbelievably awkward and wooden acting, especially from one of the main actors, big guy, older, too old frankly to be playing the kind of character he was, couldn't buy for a second that the young lady would ever be attracted to him, he was like the acting equivalent of a brick, watching him and the Sarah Silverman looking chick was just cringe! Lol there's some faint enjoyment here on a purely B-movie level to be had if you like em cheap and awkward as hell, but there are better options out there for that like Troll 2 or Birdemic, this film ends as abruptly and stupidly as everything else that happens in its run time and I was left feeling like a grade A sucker for watching it, so bad it's laughable, stick with that killer grizzly movie from the seventies instead. Oof, all the wrong ingredients have to be in the pot for a movie to turn out this bad!
