Why so much hype?
Very disappointing...
the audience applauded
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I'd give this flick a Zero if not for some good outdoor shots. I Loved Sherilyn Fenn in "Boxing Helena" her beauty & talent made that role phenomenal. But her character was one of the worst (and there were a lot of choices) in this disaster.That pic below needs to add 50lbs & 10yrs to it because she looked horrible, so bad I had to pull up the Cast again to be sure it was Her. More importantly, as one of the better known actors in this, Her "acting" was terrible. Don't waste Your time unless you're looking for a comedy & want to feel good about You're age or weight! I cannot believe it was in one of the "8 Films to Die For" franchises.There's usually a couple that are just not worth watching, This must fall into that spot out of those 8, It was "Unwatchable" All the Way Around!
This movie is born out of childish imagination, nonsensical stuff put together in a random order, and childish knowledge about science: the scene with the lighter thrown in the car's tank followed by the explosion is nightmarish: are people on Earth who know that little about chemistry?The creature is hilariously conceived, without the slightest drop of realism. Characters' attitudes and reactions are non-realistic as well. You don't really feel their fear, it's more like an appearance of fear. Their actions are random. The creature appears out of nowhere, disappears in the same manner,being kind of omnipresent. Sorry guys, for me is a no- no.
I saw this boring B-movie under the title MANEATER and whichever title you give it, it's a real dog of a film. And that's coming from a reviewer who can gain mild enjoyment from the usual kind of monster nonsense churned out by the likes of both the SyFy Channel and Asylum, so I feel like I've got some experience with the genre.The story is about a group of researchers in Alaska who uncover a nefarious government conspiracy style plot involving genetic testing on polar bears, of all things. What this boils down to, somewhat inevitably, is seeing a bunch of has-been actors being chased by a polar bear. Said actors include the likes of James Remar, Sherilyn Fenn, Graham Greene, and Ray Wise, all of whom look very tired and bored by the production. It's probably only the thought of their slim pay-cheque getting them through this.By B-movie standards, MANEATER is a dull film. There's little in the way of genuine tension or horror and the action scenes are very badly staged. The special effects are really poor as well so it's little surprise that the actors are menaced by the unseen for the most part. This is a truly terrible film though and even with a decent monster it would have been poor.
Okay, so this is my first review, sadly there's nothing much to say about this B-listed horror flick.You'll most likely recognize some faces in this one, especially James Remar. Actually that's all I have to say about the cast, you might know them from TV series and go: "Hey , I know that guy!". The acting is not there at all, the writing is horrible and so is Hank Braxtan.The location is amazing but sadly not exploited enough.I would have liked to see more wide shots of the beautiful Alaskan wilderness.I did 'enjoy' however that they didn't go for CGI when making the bear, or wolf-seal-bear, whatever that thing was... well, they tried. The script annoyed me a bit, as the two characters i liked either got mauled pretty quickly or weren't the person I imagined them to be.Overall a mix between goofy script(God, I hope it was on purpose), sub-par acting and poor directing choices. Don't watch this unless you really have nothing else better to do, go check out Frozen, Backcountry, The thing, The Grey etc. not this BS.
