5/10
A time capsule.
14 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Filmed in 1983, not released till 2022. There's obviously a lot of missing footage, you get about 10 minutes of scenery and the same animals over and over as filler.

This is another movie in the collection of "nature runs amok movies".

The very first scene is a poacher shoot a bear cub, the camera follows the bullet. The poacher fires a second shot and the camera follows that bullet too. The bullet that they show in the SFX is still in the casing, it's an unfired round, not a bullet, ha! What many of those movies had in common was that the resort or the town that the beast is going to attack is always on the eve of their great celebration, or anniversary, or their big festival that brings in all the tourist money, in this case, it's a rock concert. There's always the one idiot that won't listen, there's the hero that's trying to convince them to cancel the event and get people out, of course they don't listen or we wouldn't have another awful movie. Charlie Sheen, Laura Dern and George Clooney have top billing, because they are now big stars. But when this movie was made they were nobody, that's why the very first scene you see them and they get slaughtered by the bear. And it's a hoot hearing Charlie Sheen scream.

It's a typical 80s bad acting, poor editing movie, but it is enjoyable and a bit nostalgic. You get to see a lot of actors when they were young.
