Cocaine Bear (2023)
6/10
Actually a true story-so why all the unnecessary embellishments?
25 September 2023
I first heard about this freakish act of nefarious, hilarious coincidence ( synchronicity pfft ) on a popular YouTube storytelling channel Mr Ballen.

It was incredibly fascinating as the odds of this happening have to be lotto level, and it was sufficiently hilarious as it was terrifying.

Now if they can successfully make franchises out of Sharknado, flying piranhas, human centipedes, snakes on a plane, then what more do you need than a simple premise about a 500 pound apex predator ingesting high grade cocaine and then terrorising the local area?

A showdown with a park ranger, sheriff and perhaps dramatic tension with an animal rights character would have been sufficient enough storyline without the goons and villains, whose implausible need to recover such a ridiculous situation creates the involuntary eye-rolling, as if and cringe over complicates and is superfluous.

Often simplicity is sufficient.
