Horror fan 4 @Horrorfan4life Jun 18 Well well well here we have a clear case of copying a movie. Despite all that I'm here for this B Horror Movie. The thought of a killer bear just makes for a interesting watch. I recognized a few actors and all though the performances were mediocre at best this was enjoyable. This was the highest grossing independent film til Halloween broke it. Tim Treakle See more Candy W. @CandyCat5959 May 12 I saw this in the theater when I was a kid. So I'm kind of nostalgic for it I like it yeah I didn't like the horse scene or the special effects cuz they were pretty graphic even back in the 70s. I remember people walking out because it was too much for them. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Oct 6 Grizzly is one of those older horror films that promised terror but ended up delivering confusion instead. The concept sounds simple enough — a massive, man-eating bear terrorizing campers — but the execution misses the mark almost entirely. What could have been a tense survival thriller instead turns into a strangely empty and poorly constructed film that never lives up to its premise. The biggest issue is the lack of the bear itself. For a movie titled Grizzly, you’d expect the creature to play a major on-screen role, but instead, it’s barely shown. Most of the time, you’re left wondering if the bear even exists. When it does appear, it’s through quick, disjointed shots or reused stock footage that fails to create any real tension or fear. Using real bear footage might have seemed like a smart move at the time, but it ends up feeling awkward and disconnected from the human scenes. The screenplay doesn’t help. It’s weak, repetitive, and doesn’t build suspense in any meaningful way. There’s little character development, and none of the deaths carry any emotional weight. Even the attack scenes — which should be the highlight — come off as clumsy and unconvincing, with fake-looking blood and poorly timed reactions. Visually, it’s an uninspired film. The pacing drags, the editing is uneven, and the tone feels inconsistent throughout. It’s clear the director wasn’t sure whether to make a serious horror movie or a campy thriller, and the end result falls awkwardly between the two. While there’s a bit of nostalgic charm in watching a ‘70s creature feature like this, Grizzly just doesn’t hold up. It’s not scary, it’s not suspenseful, and it doesn’t even function as a guilty-pleasure horror film. The lack of atmosphere and tension makes it hard to stay invested, and by the end, you’re left wondering what the point was. Ultimately, Grizzly fails to deliver on its own premise. A killer bear movie should at least give you the thrill of the hunt or a sense of danger, but this one barely scratches the surface. It’s a disappointing, uneven experience that never manages to come alive — not even when the bear finally does.

Most other "jaws clones" such as alligator and piranha at least have several differences but Grizzly is a shameless jaws clone 🤣. With that said, that is part of the charm to me because I was laughing HARD at how blatant the plagiarism was, it was so overt that I found it extremely amusing. Plus there are lots of wild, gory kills for a pg movie, the characters are one note but very likable and the actors play is straight, there are some fun practical effects and some shots of a real bear spliced in, and it has that fun 70s grimy esthetic. Overall, its a very fun movie if you dont take it seriously and are just in the mood for a cheesy, goofy 70s animal attack movie.
