Grizzly Park

I actually bothered myself to comment this film, directed by the unknown Tom Skull. Now, I am a filmmaker and I have to work and fight a lot to get half the money this movie got. And yet here it is, how is possible to make such an awful picture. Ed Wood, please return, we forgive you. Please, do not ever watch this, don't waste your money, don't even download it. This film's like a bad version of Friday the 13th, but with lousy bears that actually do a better role than the actors. Glenn Morshower, he is the only good thing in this. And i'm surprised why he accepted the role. Let's hope somebody erases this film from history. Still it got my comment to it :)

So the film, a group of teenagers are sent away for a few nights camping with Ranger Bob. For some reason at the beginning there's a murder for no apparent reason but that fault is soon corrected. Basically if your looking for a not so great horror and fancy something simple to watch this is for you. Some parts were decent(Half dressed girls/ blokes, you decide what you like). The film seems to be called grizzly park due to the rampant crazy animals that are running about. Some of the characters are completely stupid, such as the White Supremist who is the most untough guy in the film, and the black from the "hood" who dresses like a choir boy.

Is an OK watch but nothing special.

I voted 1 and I am not too critical about horror. You know that the acting probably isn't Oscar material, but in this movie it is really bad.

The acting and the story are so awful that you can compare it with a pornmovie,without the porn.

The storyline (if there is any) is thin and the characters are so shallow, you just want them to die as soon as possible and get it over with.

The effects are OK, but considering the poor acting it just isn't scary anymore.

Don't waste money and time on this movie. It just isn't worthwhile.

Grizzly Park fails to fulfill its original purpose as horror film, so if you're looking for a scare, don't waste your time. That is not to say that it's not worth seeing. The only major redeeming quality this film has is it's variety of stereotype characters (and I'm not using stereotypical as a bad thing here) and their interactions, which was interesting to watch. These interactions are still undeveloped and had the movie not been distracted with trying to be horrific, it would have been a great drama about eight unflinchingly rotten youths with different backgrounds who get what's coming to them.

There is no character development; everyone stays the same until the end, but the versatility of the characters makes up for that. I liked that there were no sudden bouts of "courage" which is a generic element found in a lot of other horror movies. The characters die unrepentant, which I think is a noble trait for a villain to have.

Other than that, the props look fake, the directing is mediocre, the acting is decent, and the dialog is OK with some good witticism here and there. A major problem with the writing is as all the other reviews point out, the undeveloped subplot of the escaped murderer/rapist which makes you wonder why it was included in the writing in the first place.

Bottom line, on a scale of one to ten for a horror movie I'd give this film a one, and for a morbid drama I'd give it a seven.

There's not much action in this supposed thriller.

This is one of those movies that you hardly see the antagonist, but lot of people shots to fill the time. Hardly anything happens until the very end, but even then it's just silly action that looks so fake. The real bear scene in this entire movie is less than one minute. There are many movies of this type that is about nothing but watching people being scared for the entire length of the movie. This is one of them. The quality of production and acting are mediocre at best.

Asides from that, I don't see any motivation on the bear's part to take the action. Not even hungry bears destroy a cabin to have its meal (unless it was guided, but then the motivation is so vague). The characters in this movie weren't so nice, and didn't get you emotionally involved in any ways.

And what's that music in the end roll? Surely the producers are mocking at everyone who've paid to see this movie.

Best avoid this like a plague.
