Monster Grizzly

It so happens I am not one of those people. Maybe because I live in the middle of nowhere, where walking among trees in the middle of winter is as realistic as it gets in this movie, for people like me. We don't get to see what we would expect in a movie of that name, but I don't care. It's a very low key movie that most people will not get. I had a lot of fun during the scene where the pretty young woman is hitting on the old guy, until he finally gets it. LOL Her explanation is something I understand being a retired psychologist. Men have changed a lot throughout the years. (Don't want to offend guys, if you are watching this movie, it doesn't apply to you.) LOL.

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?

It's hard to believe this move was made in 2023. The acting is painful. The dialogue is extremly outdated, cheesy, and dry. The graphics are even worse. There is really no suspense. The budget for this movie was so low I don't even know why it was made. 99 percent talking one percent grizzly bear. Anyone who likes this movie is probably smoking that gas. I definitely wish I would not have watched it as it wasted an hour and some minutes off my life. It definitely is the worst movie I've seen in a really long time. And the snow looks fake too, the acting is terrible, the grizzly was in the same position each time on film....

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!
