Leave your thoughts about Into the Grizzly Maze.
| Film School RejectsRob HunterWatch it for the enjoyable cast, then throw in Backcountry for some real bear thrills. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghLacks the go-for-the-gut sense of grizzlies as hairy great white sharks that could have made it into a landlocked Jaws. |
| Village VoiceErnest HardyWhat keeps Maze humming is Hackl's firm sense of narrative tension. He knows character and dialogue are icing in films like this, so it's taut pacing, editing, and sound design that are crucial. (The actors are all fine, playing everything straight, sans irony.) The final showdown is ludicrous and thrilling -- as it should be. |
| Slant MagazineChuck BowenDavid Hackl often shoots his bear in fashions that accent its lumbering, powerful grace, even during its death rattle. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonGrizzly and gory throwback to the man vs. nature movies of previous decades. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanThere are moments here that are so over-the-top loony, you might just find yourself clapping your hands and giggling in delight. And then there's all the other stuff. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoInto The Grizzly Maze is fast-paced enough for gorehounds to enjoy, but those in favor of a more cat-and-mouse hunt must know that Hackl is going more for gory kills than atmospheric tension. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleRarely do you sense that any key performer was ever in the vicinity of a real animal. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.It's a well acted, and often engrossing survival adventure... |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsInto the Grizzly Maze is bad where it counts, and tedious throughout. |
