Grizzly 1976

Grizzly is pretty boring. They don't show much of the bear, but he's a lot of fun when he gets there. He kills the shit out of those people, and for no reason. He's just an asshole.

I loved the scene where the bear was shaking down the tower. They probably reused the same footage of him in all those shots, because he kept shaking that load-bearing plank over and over again in the same way. Points for this movie having the balls to kill people. I'm pretty sure I remember them killing a kid, so bonus points for that. In a movie like this, none of the characters matter. I've forgotten them all entirely, and it's only been a day since I watched it.

The killer-animal subgenre is one I haven't delved into much. I think the idea lends itself perfectly to exploitation movies because the plot is this: angry animal kills people who get in the way. One could only write a movie like this around the kills, much like a slasher movie...


Therefore, is Killer Animal a type of slasher? They can often have claws for literal slashing, and they rack up a body count. How do you define the difference?


Also... recs?
