Grizzly (1976)

There is a lot of fun to be had with this film about a ginormous grizzly bear who terrorizes a National Forest after developing a taste for human flesh. Since it’s a 1970s horror film, the first victims of course fit into a category with sexy coeds. Inexplicably the first scenes with the bear don’t show the creature at all beyond a giant (fake) paw swiping off body parts hither and yon. Eventually the bear is shown, but only after there are so many deaths that we’ve lost track of victims and drunken hunters are deputized to help find the monster. The ending climaxes in a way that can only be seen to be believed. It’s quite wonderful.
