Joanna Mccarty Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
GL84 Graduating from high school, friends dirt bike-riding in the mountains accidentally kill a Grizzly Bear cub and causes the infuriated mother bear to hunt them down with a vengeance, forcing them to resort to whatever they can to stop the bear and get out of the woods alive. This was a pretty pleasant surprise at times. One of its best points is that this really feels realistic and probable, as the central idea of them being stranded comes off well with a slew of scenes that further showcase this. From the panic and confusion that set in during the first attack to the whole series of scenes that show them taking care of the situation, this one really feels quite believable as they make it a priority to remain level-headed and come up with some unique ways to try to survive. Also pleasing here is the use of a live-action bear instead of CGI for the titular creature which is a pleasant surprise. What works most of all, though, is that the film has an incredible last half which is one long showdown made up of a series of smaller ones that try out several different tactics to use that build excitement rather than just some singular ones that do nothing, and here that results in a long showdown that is exciting, action-packed and containing some really great tactical ideas into it, and it leaves the film with a positive impact along with the thrilling attack on the jeep which is the perfect way to carry it out. There wasn't a whole lot here that doesn't work, as while the bear isn't CGI there are times when it's obvious that stunt- work is involved. It switches to a jerking close-up of the stunt-limb whenever this happens, and when it does it draws attention to the tactic. Another big flaw is the incredibly small cast which dwindles the available cast as the film has to have a set of survivors. That can also lead to pacing problems if the characters irritate. There's way too little inactivity in the beginning as all the action is at the end, leaving the beginning really slow-going. It's mostly made up of them going through endless scenes of playing around in the forest before the accident which is the start of even more scenes of them coming to terms with the situation which is quite a pain to sit through. Otherwise this one isn't all that bad at all.Rated R: Graphic Language and Violence.
Scott Sonoma (TheSonomaDude) Wow is this stupid.First off, you have 4 teens (that look like 30-year-olds) cruising in their Jeep Cherokee at about 60 miles per hour while listening to awful pop music. They brake into some park and accidentally run over a baby bear. But...uh oh, MOMMY'S ANGRY!!Thats right! Mommy bear is angry! Good thing she drinks toxic waste from a pond that makes her grow 2 her size (I'm dead serious about that.)! This film is simply about 90 minutes of bad dialog, and, occasionally, a giant bear. But there are so many huge plot holes. 1, a jeep that has been flipped over TWICE, hit a tree, and over heats, STILL RUNS. 2, an already large grizzly drinks toxic waste from a pond that Doesn't kill it. 3, Even though the bear in the film is a female, it sometimes has male genitalia. WTF? This film also is in my top 10 for 'Worst Endings Ever'. Why? Because: When the last 2 survivors are trying to run away, one trips and falls. The other person goes back to help, but he says "No! Leave me here!" but the other one says "No! We can still make it!" They argue this for about 45 seconds before the bear gets them. And when the bear gets them, fake animated blood splatters on the screen, like something you'd see in a Windows Moviemaker project.There were 2 things I liked. 1: The bear used was never CGI, it was actually a trained bear that was 100% real, living and breathing. 2: This is one of the few movies where the monster actually wins and kills everyone. Even though the execution sucked, it was still a nice twist.Overall, its STUPID. Its really, REALLY bad, but if you wanna see it, I wont stop you.
knmcp I know what to expect when I turn on the SyFy channel and am rarely disappointed. "Grizzly Rage" just continues the tradition of crappy made for TV movies and does so in stunning fashion. Before I saw an actor utter a word I knew I was in for an epic waste of life.Kids kill bear, bear kills kids. That's balance in the universe for me. That was a plethora of empty water bottles in the back of that tank. Maybe if they had been cashed in they could've afforded a decent script.The bear was remarkably stealthy for being a dainty ton. What's a carjack really going to against a grizzly other than tickle it? I'm really ashamed the bear signed off on this production. Why was the bear cub black? It's not like I broke away from my cancer research to watch this, so the time wasted won't kill anyone, but if it will SyFy will find a way to make a movie about it.
Vomitron_G I desperately try to not watch one single David DeCoteau movie every year, yet for some reason I always seem to end up watching one of them every single year. This has been going on for some years now. I have no explanation for this phenomenon.So what about GRIZZLY RAGE? Well, the bear was good, wasn't he? The bear was a beautiful specimen. The bear was nice. Watch him roar. Watch him run. Watch him do not much else, really. I have no idea where DeCoteau got the bear footage from, as it was obviously shot on another day, somewhere else and with none of the actors & crew around. That's called stock footage. And if not, then it's lousy film-making.Once again, DeCoteau manages to poop out a movie that has absolutely nothing to offer. He gives us nothing but endlessly padded scenes with no content. Not a single remotely interesting thing is going on in this movie. Three guys and one girl in some woods with a bear out for revenge after them. Seriously, the bear wants revenge. Get even. Up close and personal. Why? Because the youngsters killed Mommy Bear's Baby Bear in a hit-and-run accident. And since Mommy Bear is a law-abiding specimen, she wants justice. So, in a way, this film is like DEATHWISH set in some forest and with a bear replacing Charles Bronson.It might also be a spin on THE TOXIC AVENGER, as the bear apparently had been drinking water polluted by toxic waste. However, that part of the plot was completely lost on me, until I read about it in another user-comment on here. It made me remember there were indeed a few barrels of toxic waste in some shots. I think this film made me very stupid all of the sudden, because I completely failed to link those toxic waste barrels to the bear. And it didn't help things that the bear just looks plain normal. It's a big one. And a beautiful one. Yes. But normal and furry. No Mutant Bear Avenger. I want to re-watch PROPHECY now.What about the killings? Well, we sometimes see a fake bear's claw hitting nothing but thin air really. And then an actor flies through the air. Then cut back to the bear going "rooaaarrr" and some CGI blood splatters on the camera-lens, and... that's it, basically. This stunt gets repeated a couple of times. Oh yes, something else: I wanted to see a crappy CGI bear and I didn't get any. Color me disappointed.Another funny thing. Why on earth did that one actor have to run around through the woods at night in his underwear? Was it because he felt like Tarzan? Or did he feel like going back to nature to go barbaric on the bear's ass? No, of course not. He was starring in a David DeCoteau movie, and that requires any hot-looking male actor to take his cloths off at some point. He ran around in his underwear, climbed up a tree and just sat there for a while. Really a profound sequence that was.What? There's no boobs in this movie? Now I'm getting mad.Forgive me if I'm not even going into the movie's plot or other details. Other people have given it their best shot already on here. But I'd like to share one more thought about this film that involves a truly puzzling aspect. Have you ever noticed in certain movies (especially cheap B-horror movies) whenever there's supposed to be a storm going on outside, those light-guys are just a tad bit too eager to push the buttons on their strobe lighting effects? A 5-minutes-long scene might have for instance like 20 lightning flashes in it. While in real life, you're even lucky if you catch about two lightning flashes during a whole rainy night. Now DeCoteau really goes way beyond this. Not just a few steps too far, but so ridiculously beyond this, that he's just gone. The last 30 minutes or so of GRIZZLY RAGE take place at night, during a storm (they actually didn't have the budget to produce rain effects either, but whatever). Now, about every 3-5 seconds, those lightning strobe-effects come on. For about 30 minutes straight, relentless and persistent. You'll be flashed out of your mind, I tell you. Seriously, I'm pretty sure DeCoteau was not at all simulating a nightly storm. I'm convinced he wanted to show audiences he had a stroboscope on the set by simply making it part of the scenery. Part of the story even. Like, "Hey look, there's pulsating lights in the woods. They just grow there. Ain't that cool?".Some movies just eat the cake, and GRIZZLY RAGE is one of them. Now, I could swear I will never watch a David DeCoteau movie again in my entire life. But chances are if someone would throw DEMON SPEED or LEECHES! at me, I'd just pop it in and watch it anyway. But not this year, I guarantee you. Next year, maybe.
