~ She lives. Don't move. Don't breathe. There's nowhere to run. She will find you. ~

Overview:

When a dispute occurs between a logging operation and a nearby Native American tribe, Dr. Robert Verne and his wife, Maggie, are sent in to mediate. Chief John Hawks insists the loggers are poisoning the water supply, and, though company man Isley denies it, the Vernes can't ignore the strangely mutated wildlife roaming the woods. Robert captures a bear cub for testing and soon finds himself the target of an angry mutant grizzly.

Filmed in 1978 and shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada this horror film is a product of its times. Low budget and gory though director John Frankenheimer did delete some violent content. This is one of those weird "Eco horror". Nature strikes back essentially. Toxic chemicals create a mutated bear type creature. The bear creature is defending her cub and does not take kindly to anyone who is a threat. There is a rumor that a real raccoon was abused on set. The poor thing was tied down and was in danger of being beaten to death. In the end a raccoon was thrown into a fire but it was a dummy thankfully. All in all with the exception of the rumored animal abuse this film was about what you would expect.
