Scadinavian Edition, PAL/Region 2 DVD: Subtitles: Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish. Audio: English. No English Subtitles. 18 Feet Of Towering Fury!When an eighteen-foot, two-thousand-pound grizzly bear starts mauling campers and hikers at a state park, a park ranger (Christopher George, Pieces) springs into action. But the job is too big to tackle alone, so he enlists the aid of a naturalist (Richard Jaeckel, The Dark) and a helicopter pilot (Andrew Pine, Simon, King of the Witches) to take this freak of nature down. Meanwhile, the giant grizzly, not content with picnic baskets, continues to kill indiscriminately, leaving pools of blood and piles of body parts in his wake. Can the ranger and his cronies end the grizzly's reign of terror without restoring to excessively extreme measures? Absolutely not!

Okay first things first....
My Mother took me see this at the pics when I was 6...
It scared the hell outta me!!!
I have the UK quad poster and a set of German Lobby cards so I guess I'm a fan!!
For all of that Grizzly holds up pretty well.
Christopher George and Andrew Prine both give solid performances.
William Girdler directs well and with good creativity for the very modest budget he had.
The bear is great!!!
(After hearing how they got it to do things in the extras - It's a surprise nobody got eaten!!! Imagine that?? damn Bill - those are some good gore effects!!!)
IIf you enjoy this do look out for Day of the animals which I think is equally as good.
Overall - A worthy addition to the animals gone wild section of your DVD collection.
It's nowhere near as good as Jaws in the genre - but then again what is??
(Kingdom of spiders is my personal 2nd fave - Have you seen it? BUY IT NOW!)
Grizzly -a worth while movie and one that I will always have a soft spot for.
Thank you Mother.

This review is for the Shriek Show region 1 DVD so you will need a multi-region DVD player to see this. This film, like many others of its ilk came out soon after the success of Jaws. In this, we get all the cliches, the rogue monster, the innocent victims and the dedicated expert fighting an irresponsible authority.
Filmed around Clayton, Georgia, a natoinal park is being terrorised by a giant Grizzly that has turned man-eater. At first nobody accepts that a Grizzly could be in the area but as the killings continue, it is up to the park ranger, played by Christopher George, to track and kill the beast with the help of local allies.
This low-budget film actually did extemely well at the box office and became the top independent film of 1976. The acting could best be described as hammy and some of the scenes are unintentionally funny. Some of the the special effects are quite gory and could well have startled audiences back in 1976. To counter this, the aerial photography is superb and the forests of Georgia look spectacular in their autumnal hues.
Shriek Show has done a superb job in bringing this double-DVD to market. Disc one presents a remastered print in anamorphic widescreen of 2.35:1 with trailer and commentary. Disc two has a whole host of features; there is a promotional documentary, a featurette, photos and posters, opinions and Shriek Show trailers. This is how DVDs should be.

you know,i actually thought this was an OK movie.for a horror film from
1976 it's actually not bad.the acting is fair to good.there are some
tense action scenes.the cinematography is nice.as for the Grizzly,we
don't get to see a whole lot of him until near the end(naturally)but
when the beast is finally fully revealed,you can judge for yourself
whether it was worth the wait.as for the movie itself,all i can say is
i've seen a lot of movies(many form the same genre and time period)and
this is nowhere near as bad as some of the clunkers that have stunk up
my house.if you keep your expectations low and remember this is not
trying to be a masterpiece,you might get something out of it.i just
enjoyed it for what it was.for me,Grizzly is a 3/5

Far-fetched but enjoyable
Given the age of the film its special effects were nothing compared to modern cinema, but it was a great film for its time. A nice trip down memory lane.
