After watching so many lame-duck B-grade horror movies, I was not expecting much from this movie too. But whenever I least expect something, there's always a surprise :) Grizzly Park is an average scream flick but still engages well with all the gore, tension & partial nudity ;)Yes, most of the attacks are predictable but like any horror fans, I too can't get enough of dumb characters being disfigured or torn apart :D All the violence are kinda funny to watch and though we can guess how each of the victims will die(either by the deranged man or the grizzly), we are still kinda entertained by the mayhem.Of course, with hot scenes well inserted here & there, your attention span too is taken care of :pAll the eight youngsters in the role of convicts play being IDIOTS to near perfection :) Some of these guys seem quite talented. Emily Foxler as the "dumb belle" Bebe gets the best role & acts fine. The others who also score are Randy Wayne as the druggie Michael "Scab" White and Kavan Reece as the arrogantly rich Ryan the III. Jelynn Sophia who plays another convict Kiki delivers badly while shedding tears & crying for help. It was a bit painful to watch!I wish there was little more sense in the story and I'd have enjoyed it. It's a little annoying to see all these people act really DUH to avoid our serial killer, I mean grizzler, oops....I meant grizzly bear :=) Verdict: A slasher flick which titillates & mildly entertains - well, the basic expectations of any B-grade horror :)
... View MoreGreat title and cover art, but a poorly executed movie. Eight troubled teens are sent to the woods to do community service, accompanied by Ranger Bob (veteran character actor Glen Morshower). Soon enough, they are being offed one by one by a very large bear -- but not before they get to deliver lame lines and act like they're appearing in a high school play. The level of acting, except for Morshowe, is abysmal. The bear is portrayed both a live bear and various prosthetics that do not match the real bear particularly well. The only reason for watching this turkey is to see Ranger Bob in action, as Morshower has this kind of role down to a T. And if you do make it through to the very end, there is a nice, macabre twist awaiting you. Oh yes, there also is one female whose perky boobs out-act her.

I thought it sounded interesting so I dvr'd it to watch the next day. I would rather watch paint dry. First the stupid song. I felt like I was listening to nursery school rhymes! What in the hell was that?? Then the whole serial killer plot. That had nothing to do with the movie. He died before the juvenile delinquents. No point to him in the movie at all. I guess they were trying to tie it up with the end scene and Ranger Bob, but why would Ranger Bob want the other park ranger to die. I am little confused by the ending, but I guess I will just remain confused. Hopefully they will spare us and never make a sequel to this mess. I gave it two stars because Ranger Bob was funny, that is about it. Do yourselves a favor. If you see this mess on TV, keep channel surfing and don't bother giving it a second of your life. It is a second you can never get back.
... View MoreI love horror movies. Grizzly Park is not a horror. I've seen a lot of awful movies, this was the worst. It would take to long to cover everything that was bad in this movie but let me just give you some highlights (or would it be lowlight?). First, there's some unrelated sereal killer that kills a bus driver that's supposed to be picking up murdering juvies (yes some were murders, and no they didn't go to jail, you can't go to jail for killing people they just send you to pick up trash)anywho, the sereal killer poses as the bus driver, he has blood allover him and no one notices. He then kills a ranger and then gets eaten by a bear. (YAY) No one was sure what he was going to do anyway, they just wanted an unrelated person to die.For the first hour NOTHING happens. Then people start dying. Which by this time you want them to die very violently, which they do. However you only see like 2 people die. In summary, it was just like someone wanted to make a movie for no reason at all. LET ME JUST SAY, PLEASE DON'T WAST YOUR TIME. PLEASE!!!!!
