Do not waste your time. Awful dialog. Awful ( and stupid) storyline. Awful waste of my ( and your) time. Awful bear suit. The plot is reasonable, but they must have hired a fifth grader to write the script. Example: " I need blankets and hot water bottles". Really? This is 2015, no one has hot water bottles. No one even makes them anymore! This really could have been a suspenseful and dramatic movie. Instead, the unrealistic sequences and simplistic dialog were distracting from good photography, good acting, good direction, with good sets, wardrobe and lighting. It looks Ike much. Of the outdoor scenes were shot on location. The location was perfect. The indoor scenes were well set. Advice to exec producers: Next time spend a little more on the writing.

I kept watching it hoping it would get better but it didn't. The acting was average, apart from some decent scenes from Graham Greene and James Remar. The other actors are not very believable. There is not much depth in the story, it just expects you to put the pieces together. If you like some blood and gore, then you will get plenty but without much realism. The animatronics bear doesn't seem real, a bit like the shark in jaws..big but doesn't seem to move in the right way. If the writers had taken the time to show us more of the behind the scenes lab work that led up to the making of the bear and also taken time for us to get to know the characters, this may have worked better. Really don't waste your time with this one.

Wow I just finished watching this movie and it was crafted with excellence by Hank Braxtan and it was quite remarkable in my opinion. I'm a horror fanatic and I have seen a lot of the After Dark Horrorfest Films and so far I have watched Bastard and Lumberjack Man in this new set of the 2015 ADH Films and here is my review for Unnatural. I will start with the story which is about a group of people who are enjoying a nice weekend in a remote Alaskan lodge when an altered Polar Bear starts hunting them down. The premise was straightforward enough but it definitely flipped the script around 180 degrees from the normal way a movie of this nature would have gone which I found to be a breath of fresh air. I will now move onto the acting which I enjoyed thoroughly but the standout of course was James Remar which everyone will know from Dexter. I will now move onto the kills and while there aren't a ton of kills that are shown here there are certainly enough. The dread that is invoked while watching the bear hunt is quite unnerving I must add which is a rare commodity to see now in horror films. The bear that is displayed looks very vicious and not to be trifled with by any means. I'm glad they actually let you get a great look at him and not just the shadow of him. The setting was great and really set the tone for a desolate place where no one is around to help you out when you're in trouble. I will finish by saying that you should check this movie out especially if you love nature versus nurture films. I have no doubt that you will enjoy it.

Set in Alaska, this is a film about a killer polar bear that has been genetically modified, making it larger, smarter and hungrier than his counterparts. The film has some beautiful shots of Alaska, and made me want to visit, providing that I wouldn't encounter any Polar bears like the one in the movie of course. I really enjoyed this. A good mix of comedy and horror and beautifully shot. Of course it was also great to see Ray Wise and Sherilyn Fenn sharing some screen time together too, and the addition of an animatronic bear sold me. Always great to see obnoxious types get their comeuppance, particularly misogynistic photographer types. Solid.
