It's a shame, that image (and virtually everything in the 'create bad movie title/poster' thread) just says "content not viewable in your region" on a purple background... I'm in england

I had no idea imgur was blocked in England. Not even sure what the reason might be.

NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLY (1966):
What do you expect when you buy your proverbial ticket to a film titled NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLY? Granted it came out two years before NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD but was released after NIGHT OF THE HUNTER (which has a lot of The Hunter Hunting at Night) and DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS (featuring plenty of Triffids, sometimes during the Day). If you're arriving at NOTG in modernity, you've been raised to expect some certain degree of truth in advertising. NOTLD takes place almost entirely at Night with plenty of Living Dead; NIGHT OF THE LEPUS, well... it's often night and there is uh Lepus. Films with such titles have even famously over-delivered: NIGHT OF THE CREEPS eventually focuses on a Night full of Creeps but prior to that there's been some Night and some Creeps and we also get a poop-ton of zombies into the equation. Heck, the titular NIGHT OF THE COMET has passed and is done with about 20 minutes into that movie, but the rest of the film is wall-to-wall post-apocalyptic fun (sometimes even nocturnal) so you never miss the Comet anyway.

I guess what I'm trying to say at great length is, I came for a Night full of Grizzly and what I got was about 2.5 minutes tops of Grizzly and 105 long minutes of mostly daylit Western-Comedy (...pre-BLAZING SADDLES
Comedy Westerns being one of my least favorite sub-genres, naturally). What I'm trying to say is there oughta' be a law. At the very least there oughta' be a class-action lawsuit, and I plan to pursue one, by gum!

What we get instead of an all-nite Grizzly rampage: land disputes, fistfights, comedic alcoholism, acoustic guitar love-ballads, a little girl who farts and pees her pants a lot, a Carol Burnett-ish "homely" old maid trying to romance any unwashed varmint who enters her shop, a bad actor I've never heard of weeping and vowing revenge for his Grizzly'd horse, Clint Walker occasionally gazing off into the distance and similarly pledging that someday he'll get that durn Grizzly, Clint's wife telling him that if he goes to hunt the Grizzly one more time she won't be there when he comes home, Leo Gordon (who looks unnervingly like aging Leo DiCaprio) turning up midway through the movie and taking it over as Clint's old buddy who Clint done wrong and now Leo wants revenge, etc etc etc. Oh, also a ten-plus minute holiday party scene (also with fistfighting) where no one mentions the rampaging Grizzly the entire time. Two and a half minutes of onscreen Grizzly is probably overly generous - two and a half minutes may be the amount of time that Clint and friends are looking scared and retreating from the Grizzly or firing angrily offscreen at the Grizzly. An actual Grizzly probably appears onscreen for no more than 30-45 seconds of the film, and looks as confused and unhappy about it as I was.

Jack Elam (one of my lifelong fav character actors) faced off against legendary movie badasses like Bronson, Meeker, and Sasquatch. (Elam usually lost, but at least he tried.) This near-worthless movie could've benefitted from a little Elam-on-Grizzly action - but no, Elam spends the whole film rolling his lazy eye at the antics of the farting, pants-wetting little girl.  :bluesad:  :hatred:

0.5/5
I looked into it and it turns out the statue of limitations for legal action has passed on this one and also I wasn't even born when this film was released so there may also be an issue with "standing". Nevertheless I demand justice!

Tonight's Stinker
Stomp! Shout! Scream!(2005)
https://youtu.be/silNzOPHEBo?si=Va5kE2wBuAeQbRDc

A sendup of '60s beach monster films, the sheriff of a small beach town is trying to solve a series of murders near a stinky pile of brush... One of his deputies calls in a biologist to find out where the brush came from...
At the same time, an all girl rock group's car breaks down, & a local mechanic takes a shine to the lead singer, who's recovering from more than just a broken heart....
The monster turns out to be a Florida skunk ape, who walks like he's really gotta go to the bathroom....

At times, the movie starts to take it's self seriously, whereas most of the attempts at humor are a little too goofy for their own good....
Mostly watchable, it has it's moments, and a soundtrack college radio fans might enjoy....

Psycho (1960) - I hadn't seen this in decades and had forgotten a lot. Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates is probably the best casting decision since Bela Lugosi as Dracula. It's essentially a film noir, police procedural sort of thing. There aren't the levels of mystery and intrigue you'd expect with Hitchcock. Well, it would be a film noir if not for the murder scenes, which transform it from crime story to horror movie. Between this and The Birds, Hitchcock can lay claim to a solid chunk of today's horror formuli.

5/5
