A grizzly bear who is wounded by three hunters in one year goes on a killing spree in the woods, taking revenge on humans as a whole. Jason and Chris Monroe, an estranged husband and wife, pursue the bear after it kills their only son, Buck.
Practical Effects

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released two years after Jaws and one year before the actual Grizzly (1976), making it part of a weird ursine exploitation wave.
The 'wounded animal seeks revenge' premise accidentally predicted later eco-horror like Prophecy and The Revenant's bear scene discourse.
