Four teens find
themselves chased by an angry grizzly
after running over a bear cub. Engine problems, rock
climbing, killer bears, car trouble, a scary house,
car trouble, yep, this movie has it all.
Grizzly Rage, or "Savage Planet 2: Bears On Earth" as
I'd like to call it is the latest Sci-Fi channel
creature feature disaster. I won't go in very deep
with this movie as there's really not a whole lot to
write, Grizzly Rage was one hour of filler material and
twenty minutes of hilarious grizzly action. Hilarious
simply because this bear looks anything but threatening.
Bears rarely do. This one looks like a petting bear
that has just escaped from the zoo, not like a wild,
ravenous grizzly. Even when it kills people, you go
"aww! it's just so cute!".
So what's the story? Well, I honestly don't know what
to say. Four college teens find themselves trapped in
the wilderness with an angry grizzly mother after them
after having ran over her cub. Then they crash into
a tree. Then a guy dies. Then they get back on the
road. Then the engine overheats. Then they somehow
get off the road. Then a guy climbs up on a hill which
takes him ages. Then the guy climbs back down the hill
which takes him even longer. Then he gets back to the
car. Then they get the car back on the road. Then
the battery dies. Then they find a house. Does the
grizzly live in the house? Who knows.
This is a dreadfully boring movie consisting of nothing
but filler material. My guess is that David DeCoteau
was hired to shoot a creature feature about a grizzly
in a short period of time and that they had to just
wing the story and make it up as they went along.
The entire movie feels like a very long trailer for
a very dull-looking movie and even the ending feels
like the end of a trailer. A trailer to a movie which
you should definitely avoid. Sure, a real live grizzly
bear is cool enough, but the zoo is a lot more exciting
than Grizzly Rage. I wasn't even sure that the grizzly
was following them for most of the time as it seemed
to just bump into them at random at first. Either way,
this is so not worth your time.
Photoshopped blood splatter on the screen everytime
someone dies. Very exciting stuff.
Repetitive and annoying teen rock music that'd go
something like this; "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon,
c'mon, c'mon, COME ON!..... C'mon, c'mon", yeah you
get the picture. Again, very exciting stuff.
Is it really that big of a surprise to you that Grizzly
Rage ended up sucking? I think not. This was an
atrocious movie that felt more like a very long trailer
for a very bad movie than anything else. Don't waste
your time with this one.
