It’s stupid, for today’s standards, but also in any other era. Good animal horror movies are few and far between and this one is not among them.

I will not rate Killer Grizzly completely negatively and give it an average rating. This is because the film is forty years old and hasn't aged all that much. You get the feeling that the creators, even though they had quite limited resources, did their best to awaken at least a bit of tension or some other emotions in the viewer. And here and there they even succeeded. So, I'm giving it an average rating out of a bit of leniency.
