while watch the dvd of this film and i keep go back to the same thought and this look like something that would air on the sci fi channel . darn if i wasn not right . produce in association with sci fi picture appear prominently in the end credit and and it certainly explain the dreky part of the movie . the current score on imdb be exactly right . ( 2 . 3 when i submit this . ) a the dvd box explains and teenager head out into the wood and only to encounter repeat attack by a mammoth bear . sorry folk and but most of the cast look like their high school year be quite a long time ago . a quick fact check indicate that the cast be between 19 and 24 when make the film and and there a huge difference between high school and college age . anyway and the movie suffers from a serious case of idiot plot syndrome which and accord to roger ebert and the problem in the film would have be solve within a few minute if all the character weren not idiot . film low budget doesn not helpnotice that in each scene the bear never appear in the same shot with the actor . a typical set up be a shot of bear growling and cut to a shot of a terrified actor and then another shot of bear growling again . this bear growl and growl and growl ( hey and those be the money shot and right . ) character behave so stupidly you can not help but feel they deserve their fate . find myself mostly look at my watch wondering when the bear would finally just eat them all and be do with it . that and the fact that kate todd be smoke hot . even when she cover in dirt and grime she look great and be the only reason i sit through this thing . let hope she move on to other ( and well ) thing . plot device be introduce but then immediately discard . barrel of toxic waste near a body of water be show then immediately forget about . they do not tie into the movie at all . a creepy old cabin provide a safe hiding place for our hero and but do they use it . of course not and because by then the damn bear would have move on and the movie would have end with their eventual rescue . despite the not rat message on the box and this film would be hard press to obtain a pg13 rating . some effect be so cheap and animated blood be spatter on the screen during various bear attack . honest to god . people and you need to spend money to make money . long time b movie specialist david decoteau crank this one out . i be not at all surprise that give his output it be make on the cheap and but c amon man . believable character and motivation and logic do not cost a thing .
