Movie Reviews of GrizzlyMovie Review: Bear Necessity... Summary: 3 StarsIf you're a fan of the animal attack films from the 70's, then Grizzly will satisfy. I remember attending the theatre as a kid for so many of these pictures (Jaws, Food of the Gods, Empire of the Ants, Orca, etc.). Those were the days--counting bodies and waiting for the next "cool kill." In the following decade, the animals would be replaced by an even greater nemesis--ourselves (in the form of slasher flicks).
Admittedly, many of the "animal attack" films were short on thrill and plot, and Grizzly can't claim to be original in any respect. Its screenplay borrows heavily from the success of Jaws, right down to the characters. Instead of Chief Brody battling a shark, we have Park Ranger Kelly matching wits with an ursine-sized foe. Grizzly also relies heavily upon the POV shot (point of view), where we get to see the unsuspecting prey through the bobbing perspective of the bear. Despite the clumsiness of these scenes, Grizzly has enough B-movie acting and thrills to rank near the top of the films in this particular genre. No, it's not anywhere close to being the masterpiece that Jaws is, but if you have an afternoon to kill--why not feast along with the hairy star of this film? Word of caution: best not to watch this one before the family camping trip.
Summary of GrizzlyAn eighteen foot, two thousand pound Grizzly bear terrorizes campers and hikers at a state park. This frustrates the head Park Ranger (Christopher George) and decides to hunt it down. His efforts however were thwarted by the Park Supervisor (Joe Dorsey) and many drunk hunters into the areas. After the bear kills another campers, two rangers, a hunter and a little boy and his mother, The ranger employs his friend, a Naturalist (Richard Jaeckel) to find the bear and tranquilize it. But he gets killed. Finally with the help of a Helicopter Pilot (Andrew Prine)the ranger goes in pursuit to finally kill it with any means necessary with rifles and a rocket launcher. It is to the end when they realize the bear is much stronger than they imagined.
