Between Rhys Frake-Waterfield's "Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey," Elizabeth Banks' "Cocaine Bear," Kanphong Banjongphinij's slasher movie "Night of the Killer Bears," and now Emma Tammi's "Five Nights and Freddy's" -- due in theaters on October 27 -- this has been an exceptionally terrifying year for all things ursine. Determining what has drawn filmmakers to make movies about bears in 2023 may have to remain a matter for sociologists.
"Five Nights at Freddy's" is based on the massively popular series of video games that began in 2014 and immediately shot to the foreground of the popular consciousness. Game creator Scott Cawthon reportedly came up with "Five Nights at Freddy's" after negative reviews of his family-friendly, Christian-facing game "Chipper & Sons Lumber Co." started to appear. Evidently, the central beaver character was compared to a malfunctioning animatronic, the type one might see in an abandoned Chuck E. Cheese's. Miffed at the negative reaction to "Chipper,...

The bizarre Thai slasher Night of the Killer Bears is a mixed bag filled to the brim with blood and guts, so storytelling miscues are easier to stomach. Kanphong Banjongphinij’s directorial debut comes with the tagline “Ted meets Terrifier,” which I want to get ahead of — there is no walking, talking Thunder Buddy that slaughters victims. “Killer Bears” are merely goons in oversized costume heads with weapons, like if You’re Next adopted furry mascots. It’s a zanier type of massacre spree that lacks storytelling coherency in favor of glorified death scenes, which succeeds because the kills are so dang fun (makes me think of Timo Tjahjanto). We’re saved by juicy decapitations and vicious bodily bisections that stress gonzo midnighter entertainment.
An overarching story follows five friends who meet at a homestyle bungalow campground — think “hostel meets hideaway” — only to be hunted by a killer in a bear mask.
