Trivia:
Warner Bros. originally expressed interest in financing the film and was reportedly furious that producer Edward L. Montoro and Film Ventures International (FVI) had taken the project. Warner Bros. offered to put up a larger budget. Ironically, the year before this the studio sued Montoro and FVI over copyright infringement for the successful theatrical release of The Exorcist (1973)" ripoff Chi sei? (1974).

Rip-off of "Jaws". A giant grizzly bear is (inexplicably) attacking humans in a forest. It's up to Christopher George and friends to track him down.
I saw this in a theatre when I was 14 and never forgot it. At the time it (sort of) scared me. The bear itself I thought looked kind of cuddly--even when it was growling and showing its fangs. The attacks were (for a PG movie) pretty bloody and had me actually cringing in my seat! The show stoppers were when a little boy is attacked (we don't actually SEE it, but we do see half his leg torn off) and when, with a swipe of its claw, the grizzly decapitates a horse! Silly...but effective! Also there's some really beautiful scenery here (if you see it letterboxed).
So, this is a good gross-out movie for kids--there is a lot of blood but you don't take it seriously. As for the rest of it--the acting and characterizations are strictly by the numbers. Good example of a 1970s exploitation film.
