I know some have said this is reminiscent of The Edge, but only because it has a bear. With that said, they make more use of the fear of the bear rather than the bear itself. It is in the movie, and the killing is very gory -- much more than I thought a low-budget would be capable of doing -- and it is very realistic. I wanted to cover my eyes, but they did such a good job on that scene, I couldn't.
I'm glad it's not really like The Edge. If I want to watch that movie, I'll turn that on. This was different in many aspects, so good on the filmmakers for that.
The acting was very good. I've heard of but never seen Missy Perygrim in anything before, and I can tell I've missed out on watching a very good actress. Her acting stood out big time in this.
I'm not sure what the point of Eric Balfour's character (Brad) was. He came out acting really creepy, especially when he left the two stars.
I liked the movie, I'll watch again, and I recommend. I haven't seen many good bear-attack movies. The Edge was great, but that was a high-budget film. I thought "Grizzly" was the runner up to The Edge, but this movie blows "Grizzly" out of the water. This was much more realistic.
My one real problem with this movie was it kinda dragged. I understand they wanted to build the characters and also throw in the fear of being lost in the woods, but this is a bear-attack movie. They didn't really introduce the bear until about 46-50 minutes into a 90 minute movie.
I gave this a 7-star rating. The acting, directing, cinematography were all good. And the bear deserved an Oscar. lol
