This plot has no through-line. Like, there's no story being told here, it's just a series of events that happen one after the other. #Monsterdon

@CactuarJoe I think the bear should take the helicopter and fly back to the Kodiak Archipelago where he belongs.

And in the best traditions of #Monsterdon the film simply stops at this stage
Closing plot threads? Who needs it. Monster's dead, shut it down.

@CactuarJoe To be honest, that is generally how slasher films work. They don't really have a story to tell, just relentless gore and bad decision making.

@xansteel I'll give you that there's a lot of bland, unambitious films in the slasher genre.

Shower Thoughts about Grizzly (1974): It is WILD how much that film is about NOTHING.
Like, going into it you think, ah, a giant bear. Man versus nature, the inability of man to control the natural world?
Nope. The film explicitly kills off both the guy who wanted to research the bear and the guy who wanted to kill it. The protagonist never has to make a choice either way, his hand is forced after the bear breaks the chopper.
Is the film's constant violence against women intended as a metaphor? Is the film maybe about the vulnerability of the weak?
Nope. Halfway through the movie drops the theme and starts killing men, too. Hell, the only people that survive an attack are a hunter and a child, there's no underlying theme either way.
Grizzly had MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES to at least pay lip service to some sort of idea and went... Nah. Events are more or less random, deaths are completely without purpose. People just die, it means nothing. Wild. #Monsterdon
