Film Review: Grizzly

See the source image

Release date: May 16th 1976.

Story: A American national park is getting ready for the annual tourist season. But things turn bad when a killer bear starts roaming the area.

My thoughts: This is basically a killer animal on the loose movie made after the success of Jaws. The bear in question was around eleven feet tall but in the movie (although the movie says that it was fifteen feet tall. And the poster states that it was eighteen feet tall). And that when filming it, the crew were behind a small green string with a ticking timer nearby (this was to make the bear believe that it was an electric wire. The bear had previously been living behind a electric fence before being rented for the filming). There was going to be a sequel but only a few scenes were filmed (including a scene were the bear rampages through a rock concert) until it was abandoned. This is a great movie and if you are a fan of Jaws, then I would give this a watch.

My score: Five stars.
