Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who's ever wondered how they'd survive and animal lovers. The tension comes from simply getting through the next day. Sits nicely alongside Jurassic World or Heart of the Beast. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 31 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

An eighteen-foot grizzly bear figures out that humans make for a tasty treat. As a park ranger tries rallying his men to bring about the bear's capture or destruction, his efforts are thwarted by the introduction of dozens of drunken hunters into the area.
