Damon Packard’s re-work of William Girdler’s JAWS rip-off GRIZZLY is truly a labor of love. Expanding on the original with alternate cuts, added footage, and an “enhanced” mix, Packard adds a huge dose of hilarity and gore – most notably with a much louder guttural bear groan every time the classic Bear-POV cam appears, making its unnoticed approach on helpless campers even more hilarious. Whether you’re a fan of the original or a newcomer to GRIZZLY, you’ll find something to love here. Crack a cold one, sharpen your pencils and don your camo for this “extra scary” redux.
