Product Description

Grizzly Rage is the sixth title in the "Maneater Series" and unveils the biggest beast of them all. When four high school buddies take a road trip to celebrate their graduation, vacation turns deadly when they accidentally hit a bear cub and suffer the wrath of the avenging mother Grizzly. What unfolds is a long dark night of stark raging fear as they face off against the wilds of nature. One swipe of the great slashing paw and you are shredded to pieces. With no cell phones, no weapons, no light and only tension mounting, all the students have are their wits, a prayer and each other. Directed by horror master David DeCoteau (The Brotherhood) and including fierce shocks and slashing surprises, Grizzly Rage is a lean and uncompromising fear match between man and nature.

Just Grin and Bear It
Yeah, this is yet another one of the Man-Eaters series, which feature low budget Sci-Fi Channel originals where various wild animals go on a rampage eating people. It's also kind of a low point for the series. At least 'Man-Eater' and 'Eye of the Beast' had good acting - this one is just a straight up cheesy animal attack movie. Of course, if your the type of person would would buy or watch this movie, your probably looking more for animal attacks and bad acting than cinematic quality.

So the basic premise is that a bunch of teens go joy-riding in the back woods, hit and kill a grizzly cub, and get chased and eventually mauled by the enraged mother. The characters aren't particularly sympathetic or well developed - they seem more cardboard cut outs of your typical dumb teenagers. In fact, you'll probably find yourself rooting for the angry grizzly. Nor are the characters especially intelligent. Theres quite a few moments where I found myself laughing or questioning WHY they took a particular course of action. Of course, the plot is pretty straight forward, but even then there are a few other baffling moments. Like the mysterious (and appearantly abandoned) shack in the woods, or the random drums of toxic waste that play no part in the movie's storyline whatsoever. And the ending was seemingly random, as if they just ran out of script (or money).

But the REAL highlight of the movie comes from the bear attacks! Oh yes, they actually spent the money on having a trained bear appear in the film, but never actually with anyone else. Most of the 'attacks' involve the grizzly roaring and then close ups of a screaming victim (sometimes with animated 'claw marks' across the screen). My favorites, though, were the man in the rather unconvincing bear suit attacking their SUV (sometimes with head-butts!). All in all, this is a fairly entertaining movie, best watched with a group of your friends. It certainly didn't make me afraid of being attacked by an enraged she-bear or anything, but it was a fun movie. If you like cheesy movies, this will be right up your alley. Also consider checking out their other releases in the Man-Eaters series.

Grizzly Yawn
What a terrible flick. At first, I thought the movie was kind of fun. Some young people hit a bear cub with their truck, the mama bear goes after them. How can you go wrong with that scenario, you ask? Answer: Leave out the gore. All we get is a bear chasing people and, if we're lucky, throwing them a few feet through the air. If you're a rabid gore fan like me, you'll be bored to tears. Come on, guys, if you're gonna make a horror movie, make a HORROR movie! Don't gimme any of this "suspense" stuff.

A REAL BEAR!
The bear in the film is not CG, i repeat they used a real trained bear. That being said i quit enjoyed the film and found it both a great horror mauler but also a very accurate image of a really pissed off bear. The cast is made up of 4 people, teenagers who break into a reserve to celibrate school gradution. High School, College, i dont know. Anyway they accidently kill a baby bear cub and unleash momma bear with a vengence. A very fun film with great special/bear effects. and as to the sci-fi channels involvment. They did not produce it, only distrubited and braodcasted it, therefor the way better quality from a studio owned by dimesion films none the less.
