I just recently bought a copy of Grizzly(yes bad movie but fun) and upon checking IMDB.com it seems there was a sequel made in 83. Anyone seen it? Where would one find it?? Any other similar genre suggestions???
Thanks in advance.
Don't know about a Grizzly sequel, but I'd definitely recommend Prophecy (1979) if you like cheesy killer bear movies. Worth seeing just for the giant hopping banana.
Food of the Gods with Marjoe Gortner (sp.?), Giant rats attack and get blown away with shotguns. Funny thing is they used real rats and it looks like they were actually shooting them with rat shot like we used to buy for our .22's.
Dogs (aka Slaughter) (1976) is a B-movie about, uh, killer dogs. I have this one on VHS recorded off of USA a few years ago. Here's a link to a review:

Incidentally, some of the woods scenes for Grizzly was filmed not far from where I grew up. The film crew stayed at the small resort where my Mom worked. It was a big deal in the area, but when the movie was released everyone was like "uh, okay...so that's IT??"
This reminds me - maybe someone can help. Tom Skerrit and a bunch of nobodies on a ranch in central Africa. Something happens and the lions in the area all become maneaters and start killing off the fodder while Skerrit hunts them with his trusty rifle. It was on HBO back in 1980 or so and I saw it like 20 times in one month. But I was nine. Does anyone have the title??
Savage Harvest (1981)??

Savage Harvest.....
So far, I remember this title and Food the Gods(And part 2)
Going to look for Prohecy and Dogs, thanks!!
Yes...it is Savage Harvest.
That movie kicks ass!
I remember watching it when I was a kid.
I saw it about a year ago on cable.
They only showed it that one time as far as I know.
"Savage Harvest (1981)??"
Yes - that's definitely it. I remember it had a title I didn't get at the time. Hope I can find it. It seems like it would be a good companion piece for when I take the kids to the zoo. "See kids, not all lions are lazy freeloaders."
How about "Day of the Animal" with....Leslie Nielsen?
oh, damn you servo, I mean joe...ughh..was a poop fest that was.
"Killer animals movies" is one of my top three genre.
My fav's from when I was a kid are Night of the Lepus, The Swarm, Piranha, and The one about the rouches that make people burst into flame.
For the more modern ones I really liked
Blood Surf, Ticks, and Mosquito.
I think I've only seen the version of Piranha that had Alexandra Paul (Baywatch) and the guy from "The Greatest American Hero." That movie was SO irritating, it was fun.
"Paul...Paul....Paul....Paul"
She must have said that dude's name about 1600 times in that movie; it must have been really hard for her to remember, too, since it is her last name irl.
I totally remember that cockroach movie!!!!
Now what was its name???????
Well there was the roach segment at the end of Creepshow.
That was a good one!

That would be "Bug." I haven't seen it in probably 2 decades, but it sticks with me. Maybe it will hold up better than "Phase IV" did.
About the second "Grizzly" film.
The person to ask would be Patty from WilliamGirdler.com (http://www.williamgirdler.com), but I do not think that she is active anymore with her site. From what I remember, "Grizzly II" was never finished and what they did get done was never released.
Thanks, Andrew. Thats the film. Still "burnt" into my head from when I was 8
Prophecy is on AMC right now. 11:16 central US time.
As I have not seen this in 18 years I better go watch it.
Rocky Horror is also on but I guess Prophecy wins
The only movie I can think of with roaches was Joe's Apartment. :) Not exactly horror unless you were the girl that the roaches dropped down on by accident. Hmmm can't forget Arachniphobia. I can't stand spiders and I have this movie. I can not bring myself to watch it too often.
I remember this one movie that I saw years ago about a scientist that was turning this other guy slowly into a King Cobra. Anybody know what that movie was called?

A few that I own are (some are not really animals, but they are all in the tradition of the typical "killer animal" movie):
* A DAY OF THE ANIMALS (directed by William Girdler, who also directed GRIZZLY)
* PIRANHA
* SQUIRM (okay, its actually worms, not animals)
* FROGS (reptiles go wild!)
* WILLARD (the remake . . . I wish the original would come out on DVD)
* RATS
* EMPIRE OF THE ANTS (again, not animals, but giant ants)
* THE KILLER SHREWS (dogs made up to look like giant shrews . . . sort of)
* THE BIRDS
* JAWS
* THE MIGHTY PEKING MAN
* QUEEN KONG
* ANACONDA

Um...
Last I checked, worms and ants were animals.
I mean, they're not plants. They're not minerals. That pretty much leaves animals.
Right?
I mean, if you know something I don't, I'll back the hell up. But I'm pretty sure I'm right.
For once.
Also, might I add Deadly Eyes to the list? Rats (actually Dachshunds in fancy dress) invade The City and make a nuisance of themselves. It's based on an excellent James Herbert novel called The Rats and is deliciously cheesy.
So to speak.
Cullen:
You may be right. I just don't normally think of bugs as being animals. I mean, when you get bit by a mosquito, do you consider it to be an animal bite? Technically, maybe it is. But I usually place worms and ants in a different category than bears and dogs.

I can see that, I guess. I kind of think of them more as things that go squish, myself...
Um, the ants and worms.
Not the bears and dogs.
Not that I go out of my way to squish either of them.
Ah, er, yeah.
That's what I meant.
Right.

Which brings to mind, of course, "Eight Legged Freaks." A very fun movie, imo.
The Deer Hunter... oh wait. That's an Animal Killer movie. Sorry.
As man is an animal, can we start listing ALL movies with serial killers, etc?
:)

If we're going to do that, how about a list of all the war movies instead?
Or Romantic Comedies....the ones that make you wish you were dead.
Can't forget Kingdom of the Spiders, with creepy crawlies AND William Shatner running wild.
>FROGS (reptiles go wild!)
Frogs are amphibians, not reptiles. :)
Thanks. That's difinitely it. I'll check it out :)
Don't know if anyone has mentioned it but Bats was actually pretty good. That makes me think of another movie, I just can't remember the title. There are these creatures flying around killing people. During the movie they are playing a Pasty Cline song called I Fall to Pieces. Everytime I hear that song now I think of this movie. I'm really bad at remembering titles. Anyone know what it is?

I caught you on this one! Even though the title of the movie is FROGS, people get attacked by a variety of swampland critters . . . INCLUDING reptiles.

Which is why, when I was nitpicking, I kept mum...
It's amazing. We'll all sit around watching terrible movies that routinely defy logic, yet we'll all try to correct one another within this forum.
Maybe we should give each other the same amount of slack that we give to our beloved "bad movies."
I should become a politician . . .
I only meant what I said as good natured fun. No harm meant or intended. Lord only knows the number of mistakes I've made, I will make, and am making even as I type this.
Cullen:
No offense taken. I was just making another of my pointless observations. It makes me feel important, even though I really have nothing useful to contribute to mankind.
When I die, my tombstone will say:
"Joe who????"

>attacked by a variety of swampland critters . . . INCLUDING reptiles.
I admit defeat, I've never see the movie. :)
Ah, the beloved FROGS.
Frogs and rabbits....even when you "Inbiggen" the bunnies, they just don't scare! Same with Frogs. Personaly, i think the frogs were the ringleaders, and the other animals just took orders....
After all, Marlon Brando does look a bit like a bullfrog these days.
THE FROGFATHER!
"You must understand. The humans are not showing proper respect for our kind. Therefor, it is with regret, we must see to it, that the bipeds sleep with the fishes."
LUCA BULLFROG. "I will make them croak, Frogfather."

Except, of course for the females, who must survive the "Dance of the Three Snakes" (Hell Comes to Frogtown).
