Perseguidos

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.

What can I say? This movie starts out good but after 45 minute it turns into a movie full of flaws. The camera-work was troublesome from the start but one could look over that since it's obviously a low budget film. The acting started out good, the tension was build up nicely, the plot was convincing but for some strange reason all kind of weird flaws popped up halfway trough. Main problem with the movie is botchy filmmaking. The viewer is pulled out of the movieworld and confronted with behind the scenes stuff like seeing some of the film-crew and inconsistent environments. This was totally preventable and shows how lazy this movie was put together. But that isn't the only problem: the plot also turns into laughable trash that is best suited as snooze material than an actual horror movie that pumps up the adrenaline. Maybe it was just me but I noticed that the actors involved couldn't squeeze out some of the absurd lines convincingly in the second half of he movie. This movie is not really interesting unless you're suffering from insomnia. 4/10

Two young couples are driving through a remote forest when their car breaks down. When a run-in with a curious grizzly bear ends up with the bear being shot to death, the bear's mate arrives on the scene and vengefully attacks their van.

This film is a steaming pile of horse apples. Other than the bear (and perhaps by extension, the bear trainer) there is no one deserving praise here. Not the actors, not the writer and not the director. We are given a van full of stupid young adults who do everything possible to endanger their own lives.

We are treated to a story about how the Native Americans thought of the bear... wow, this was so bad it was not even corny. It was just poorly thrown in there without purpose, and the more the motif was extended, the more the film suffered. Give us a film where a bear tracks people down and kills them, not some pseudo-supernatural hogwash.

As if the film could not get any worse, they throw in some bizarre family drama. One brother is in trouble with the FCC? Do they mean the SEC? There are drug issues, there is infidelity... I think they found anything they could to throw into the mix.

On the plus side, no CGI was used. For that, the film gets an extra star. But it is still a pile of festering dog snot and should be avoided at all costs. If you want to see a creature feature with a bear attack, watch any film in that genre except this one.

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...

Firstly, I'm not giving this a rating on account of my early attempts to watch it, I don't remember what happened exactly; for some reason or another I couldn't concentrate much, eventually finding out what happens before giving it a "normal" viewing, therefore I knew what happened already and can't say whether the suspense aspects worked or not.

Anyway, four people who really aren't terribly charismatic cruise down a road until the driver takes whats apparently a shortcut, but isn't, because their car breaks down.

The driver's brother proves himself an obnoxious type when a bear attacks, and he fires every bullet he has into the critter, killing it but leaving himself out of ammunition. Maybe he thought the others carried guns, perhaps he thought more bears couldn't possibly be where he already encountered one.

Before long the others display annoying traits. However, there are some minor occurrences, for example one girl opening a present intended as an anniversary gift the boys intended for their parents, when she gets cold (it contained a blanket) which surprises the other girl.

More occurrences where characters apparently notice stuff about each other happen. This subtlety is appreciated, although the characters themselves aren't too likable. It certainly tries for suspense and character focus. The result might depend on how much the viewer can invest emotionally in the characters.
