Nicolas Cage Faces Hostile Locals in New Thriller ‘The Surfer’ [Trailer]


There is perhaps a Cocaine Bear 2 within the works and we’re pleased about that. Within the meantime, let’s discover another Ursine horror motion pictures with the killer fur balls. Perhaps not all pretty much as good as our drug addicted Teddy, however value a watch simply the identical.

Cocaine Bear

Let’s stay prior to now for a couple of minutes and take a while to understand the killer bear motion pictures that got here earlier than it. From full-on horror tales of nature’s fury, to action-adventure movies that don’t flinch, to the campy environmental message motion pictures even Greta Thunberg would smile at, these cinematic choices deserve a spot in your watchlist.

Grizzly (1976)

The Jaws rip-off pattern of the 70s began with this one, however don’t let its age idiot you. It’s a relic, however director William Girdler had some fairly large field workplace footwear to fill after Spielberg’s masterpiece was launched in the summertime of 1975. He did…okay.

Though this movie doesn’t even evaluate to the genius of Jaws, it has its moments. Curiously there’s a helicopter assault scene, and we will’t show this, however perhaps the author of Jaws 2 took that idea a bit additional and used it in his screenplay.

The Revenant

Some of the terrifying bear assault scenes ever placed on movie. Based mostly on true occasions the grand scale of this journey film is to be applauded. Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s relentless story of betrayal and survival is unnerving and Leonardo DiCaprio as soon as once more proves he doesn’t endure from the child-actor curse.

Backcountry (2014)

A pair is pursued by a black bear on this sleeper from 2014. One other movie impressed by “true occasions” Again Nation bought nice critiques when it first got here out. Director Adam McDonald handled this film extra like a slasher than a thriller. That tracks as a result of he went on to direct the collection Slasher: Flesh and Blood in 2016.

Prophecy (1979)

Mutant bear stalking some hapless authorities researchers within the woods? Take my cash! Nevertheless, this environmental cautionary story wasn’t good then and it’s not pretty much as good now, however one can recognize the campiness and balls it took to make it. The expertise alone makes one query why this film isn’t pretty much as good appropriately. We’ve the legendary John Frankenheimer behind the digital camera with Talia Shire, recent off her Rocky success as our closing woman. It was launched at a time when horror motion pictures had been king on the field workplace and it was promoted as the following large one. Prophecy positively has its moments, however they’re few and much between. Nonetheless, it’s value a watch, and if something, you possibly can relish within the big-scale failure that ought to have been higher than it’s.

Bear (2010)

Stephen King had an thought: entice a household in a automotive and have a rabid St. Bernard assault them. The makers of Bear had the identical thought, solely change the household with buddies and as a substitute of a canine, make it a bear. That is the Cujo of bear motion pictures.

Into The Grizzly Maze (2015)

A household drama between two brothers is ready contained in the labyrinth of the title. However the tensions between them are nothing in comparison with the behemoth of an animal who desires them lifeless.

Though some logic is misplaced behind a clunky screenplay, there may be nonetheless lots to get pleasure from right here as James Mardsen and Thomas Jane, with weapons blazing, tackle a freak of nature.

The Edge (1997)

This can be a bloody cat-and-mouse survival story starring Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin, and a Kodiak Bear. Attractive thrillers had been all the craze within the 90s. Maybe to capitalize off of that, filmmakers wished to create a narrative about betrayal by infidelity set within the harsh setting of the Alaskan wilderness. There’s a plot twist, however it’s uninteresting in comparison with the motion Lee Tamahori has in retailer. The director is aware of methods to make pulses race on each small and large budgets. He helmed Die One other Day, Subsequent, starring Nic Cage, and Ice Dice in xXx State of the Union.

Annihilation (2018)

Like Prophecy, Annihilation is one other of the mutant bear classics. Though this sci-fi masterwork doesn’t rely solely on a bear as a centerpiece, there may be that one nerve-grinding scene we’ll publish under that qualifies it as one it is best to watch. In truth, pull up your favourite VOD medium and hire this unsettling movie now.
