Plot Summary:
A colossal grizzly bear embarks on a murderous rampage in a
national forest, targeting hikers and campers alike. A park

from his supervisor, sets out to hunt down the killer animal
with the help of a helicopter pilot and a naturalist. As the
death toll rises and frustrated attempts at capturing or killing
the bear fail, the trio faces an increasingly desperate and
dangerous struggle against the powerful and relentless creature.

Dad's Preview:
After Jaws, a myriad of low budget copycat films exploded on
movie screens across he country. Let's just say there weren't
many Oscar winners in the bunch. This film, however employed a
dark night in the forest to scare the heck out of you. How this film
got a PG rating I will never know. When this gigantic bear takes
a swat with his powerful arm and claw, the victims goes flying,
usually in several pieces. Just check out the trailer! |
