Reviews:
“An intriguing if overall really flawed genre effort, this one has a great concept at play but is so low-budget it can’t play with the concept at all and leaves this massively underwhelming in the slightest. Really only give this a shot if you’re a fan of this kind of low-budget genre effort as most others out there should heed caution if not outright avoid it.” ½ out of ★★★★★ Don’s World of Horror and Exploitation
“This one never shows the main bear as all we get are aftermath shots of the violence which resembles indeterminate crime-scene splatter as every attack utilizes the formula of someone finding it’s there, but it fades to black before anything can happen. Not showing anything here in the attacks and featuring all sorts of inept-looking filmmaking with ugly shaky-camera shots or awkward transitions that highlight how low a budget this has.” 3 out of 10, Kannibal Corpse Grinder
“Some good character moments between the two protagonists, but the acting really brought down those segments. Almost zero SFX for the blood and gore. But I wasn’t bored with this movie, so I’ll give it credit for that. Oh, and this is a movie with and environmental message.” 5 out of 10, Martindo
