Night of the Grizzly - 1966

 Random pick from the library, solely based on the name. 

Night of the Grizzly is an animal attack movie, a genre I have claimed I love, and a genre with precious few movies that belong to it. Seriously even with about 1,000 shark movies, there's not a lot of animal attack films. 

Animal attack by title, but really this is boring dialogue by plot. Some beefcake square-jawed farmer in Georgia is settling below the mountains and hears tell of a grizzly in the area. He deals with locals trying to screw him over and he talks to his woman for about 95 minutes until there's finally a bear confrontation in the last 3 minutes of the movie. 

This movie is boring city, population me. It's slow and poorly written, with nothing else to hook you. All the main characters are flawless and just have to beat a little sense into the bad guys around them. The scenery is nice, and that's one of the only great parts in the movie.
