The 1970s put together the best horror movies and considering the time that GRIZZLY was made, it promised to be good. Most compare this movie to JAWS or call it a JAWS rip off, and although it is similar, it has a charm all of its own.
Michael Kelly (Christopher George) is a forest ranger with a problem on his hands. There are campers and hikers getting mauled to death by what is believed to be an 18 foot tall bear. Christopher George was such a great actor, starring in PIECES and GRADUATION DAY as well. He was also in MORTUARY with Bill Paxton, and he always brought his A game, and he had the ability to carry a movie.
The angry enormous grizzly bear is going on a killing spree and Kelly is not getting any help from upper management. They keep allowing people to hike and the press to cover the incidents, but when a young boy is mauled, the rules change and Kelly can now focus on taking down the big hairy bastard that has been going ape shit.
GRIZZLY is a great movie. It is fun from start to finish and the way that they take out the bear is something special. I highly recommend this.
Scared Stiff Rating: 8/10
