Black bears are fairly common critters here in the Lower Hudson Valley and they tend to be shy....the bear in this pic was really aggressive!

Good scary animal movie

I haven’t seen this one yet. We are supposed to have black bears here also but I’ve yet to see one in the woods. I think they may be more numerous in the northern part of our state.

I'm so happy you mentioned Orca (1977), Day of the Animals (1977), Kingdom of the Spiders (1977) and The Prophecy (1979). I love them so much. All of them were so underrated and overlooked.

Sci-Fi/Horror and Man vs Animal are my favorite Horror sub-genres

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20408) 5 years ago

I do love them also and I’m sure I missed some other good ones from the 70’s! I’m always glad to find someone who appreciates them as I do.

Aussie film from 1984 "Razorback"

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20408) 5 years ago

I’ve not seen much Aussie horror but I recently saw Long Weekend and loved it. I’ll search out Razorback soon.

Argh beat me to it. I love Razorback.

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20408) 5 years ago

I just watched the opening and it looks great.
