Prophecy 1979

In the forests of Maine, something is terrorizing the locals. It even kills a dog right off the bat, and those animal killings often hit harder than human killings. Stupid humans... but yeah, it's killing them, and it's an asshole and whatnot.

It's a good cast here, featuring Talia Shire and Armand Assante, who funny enough often played Stallone's brother. There's some environmental junk to the plot, but that's to be expected in the animal horror genre, as I've been finding out. Try to guilt the viewer into being an activist, why don't ya? Fortunately, I completely forgot what man-made plight was responsible for the carnage, so I'm proud to say I didn't learn any lessons.

This movie is pretty fucking awesome for being PG. That sleeping bag kill? Holy shit! People's faces getting sliced by a bear claw? There was a decapitation in there too, right? I hope they show this movie to elementary school children when they try indoctrinate them about pollution or whatever the fuck this movie is preaching against. Had I known that this is where South Park got its inspiration for the infamous global warming / manBearPig spiel, I would have watched it much sooner.
