Review of Grizzly

Grizzly (1976)
8/10
Craziest PG rated movie I've ever seen!!!
18 December 2006
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is so violent and gory I can't believe it was only rated PG. Who in their right mind would take their kid to see this. They must of had some cool parents because this is totally a balls to the wall, brutal slasher movie but instead of a deranged psycho stalking the campers, it's a 15-18 foot, 2000 pound Grizzly Bear. It's Friday the 13th meets Jaws but only with a beer and at a National Park instead of a beach.

But how gory is it really? Here's just a couple of bloody moments that really stand out and make you wonder how the censors let it slip:

**Spoilers**

Woman gets arm ripped off as it flies across the screen. Blood gushes out of her newly ravaged stump of an arm

Little 5 year old child is attacked and mauled by bear as the mother tries to fend the beer with a broom so it'll drop the kid. Instead the grizzly bear bites the child's leg off. I'll repeat, a 5 (possibly 4) year old child has his leg bitten off at the knee by the grizzly.

In the vein of cannibal holocaust, a REAL lifeless gutted deer is strung up in a tree and used for bait to attract grizzly bear. Later it's half devoured corpse is drug along behind a horse to further bait the bear.

It works and then said horse has it's head ripped off by the grizzly.

That's just a couple of examples of how gnarly this flick is. I had just watched Murder-Set- Pieces before this and Grizzly still stood out as a very bloody, gory, kick ass movie. I couldn't believe it when I found out this was rated PG. But man what a pleasant surprise. Highly recommended.

8/10
