I was a little put off by the title and synopsis of this movie, but after seeing that it is rated pretty highly by viewers and critics, I decided to give it a try. I was astonished at how bad this movie is. It is bad on so many levels it is hard to adequately describe. It is enough to destroy my confidence in the movie rating systems. The acting is pitiful, below the level of a high school play. The storyline is beyond my imagination. The props look fake, like extremely low budget. Details in the film are incredible, for example, a girl gets her head nearly cut off with a saw, goes to the hospital emergency, dies and is revived, then is nearly healed a few hours later. The only redeeming value for a movie this bad might be to have a few drinks and make fun of how bad the movie is. This is the worst movie I have seen this year (or maybe several years).

From the very beginning with its 70s intro with cheesy music in Technicolor (they are not kidding you!), you know that these people are just trying to have a laugh. There is not artistic value here whatsoever, only tons of blood, bad catch phrases and absurdity. I won't go into that because its obvious. This movie won't make a classic (even though I suspect some people will want to make it a cult classic). However, it's entertaining enough. It's not a bad film (for a purposely bad film). It's not a good film. It's only like whistling: you don't get any from it but it's enjoyable; some people hate, others don't. Let's that seemingly absurd example get you a taste of the nonsense of this film. An OK waste of time. And, no. Bears don't become "man killers" when they taste human blood. So leave them alone (Hobo, you were right though about not belonging to a zoo)
