Title: William Girdler's Grizzly Post by: Shadow on November 27, 2006, 01:13:47 AM Read my Gi-normous review for 1976's killer bear movie Grizzly (http://www.bmoviegraveyard.com/reviews/Grizzly/).

For weeks I was terrified that a huge man-eating grizzly bear was going to tear me to pieces. Funny, considering little Andrew grew up in Delaware.
The comparison between "Jaws" and "Grizzly" was a good one. Even as a little boy, I remember thinking that "Grizzly" was just "Jaws," but with a bear. I had not realized there were so many, ahm, amazing similarities between the two films. You also have to love the idea of a bear so massive that only a bazooka could stop it. Girlder knew how to make a film that was entertaining, for whatever reason. It is a real shame his career was cut short. |
