Grizzly (1976) - Newspaper Ad

San Francisco Examiner - May 12, 1976
While Jaws made me afraid of the ocean and the unseen terrors lurking in its impenetrable depths, Grizzly made me terrified of the potential dangers of camping in the woods. In May or June of 1976, when I was eight or nine years old, Grizzly seemed a tad plausible. Today it just looks and feels like what it is, a quickie Jaws cash grab.

But, like yesterday's The Manitou, there are flashes and glimmers of prowess hinting that director William Girdler was capable of doing more with far better material than he what had to work with here.

Still though the movie, though. And that Neal Adams poster art will never not be awesome to behold.
