- 50New York PostNew York PostBasically Jaws, but, you know, on land. With a bear. [29 Jun 2014, p.20]
- 30The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe New York TimesVincent CanbyGrizzly is not only clumsily plotted, photographed and edited, it is also downright rude when it insists on showing us the bear lopping off an arm or decapitating a horse. Because it's not good enough to earn the right to scare us, I would hope intelligent adults would avoid it and that parents would give it a personal X.
- 25TV Guide MagazineTV Guide MagazineFilm Ventures International (FVI) specialized in turning out cheap imitations of big blockbusters. When The Exorcist came out, FVI followed it with Beyond the Door; while Jaws was a number one money-grosser, FVI came out with this film, replacing the shark with a 15-foot bear.
- 20Time OutTime Out'No way!' twice in the first five lines of dialogue let you know what to expect from this attempt to ape Jaws, so to speak.
