Grizzly (1976)


Film Ventures International
Directed by William Girdler
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Blu-ray, Scorpion Releasing)

Park ranger Christopher George has his hands full when a grizzly starts picking off campers. He enlists the help of bear expert Richard Jaeckel and helicopter pilot Andrew Prine to hunt it down. The plot borrows heavily from the previous years' Jaws, with bear attacks that show plenty of blood and flying limbs, though I'm not so sure bears can explode. Filmed in magnificent Todd-AO 35 with a soaring soundtrack by Robert O. Ragland and immersive sound effects, a must on a big screen.
