Grizzly
Directed by William Girdler. US. 1976. PG. 91 min. Private Collector. 35mm.
- Fri, Jun 7, 9:45 pm
Although monster movies had been around since the dawn of film, they were mostly used to fill the bottom half of a double feature or to keep drive-ins stocked with a schlock. It wasn’t until a young director named Steven Spielberg figured out that you could take a B-movie template and use it to make an A-level production.

The result was “Jaws.” After that film’s raging success, it didn’t take long for the imitators to hit screens.
