‘Bad People. Badder Bear.’
Bad Ass Bear is a 2026 creature feature comedy horror film about a group of young friends on a camping trip are terrorised by violent rednecks and then have to contend with a killer bear.

The movie was written and directed by Joe Black (Gator Babes; I Don’t Know).

The Millman Productions-Blue Means Pregnant Films-Babe Entertainment-Ron Lee Productions-Cloud 9ine Productions movie  stars Jeremy London, Avaryana Rose, Duane Whitaker, Cat Black and Lyrik London.

Plot:
A group of backwoods hunters kill a mother bear’s cub. The loss drives the animal into a state of extreme aggression, transforming an already dangerous predator into a relentless killing machine with an apparent appetite for human blood.

Meanwhile, a group of college students head into the wilderness for a spring-break camping trip. Expecting a weekend of partying, drinking and relaxation, they have little idea of the danger lurking in the surrounding woodland.

Their holiday soon turns into a nightmare when they encounter the increasingly violent bear.

However, the animal isn’t the only threat they face. The campers also find themselves terrorised by a group of violent, unpleasant backwoods locals, making their predicament considerably worse.

With danger approaching from multiple directions, the young holidaymakers must fight for survival against both human attackers and a murderous animal.

Overview:
The premise puts Bad Ass Bear firmly in the tradition of over-the-top animal-attack horror, with a mixture of backwoods exploitation, creature-feature violence and survival thriller elements.

Its most obvious comparison is probably Cocaine Bear (2023), although the premise here revolves around revenge following the death of a bear cub rather than drug-induced animal aggression.

Fans of films such as Grizzly (1976), Claws (1977), Prophecy (1979) and Backcountry (2014) may want to check this one out.
