people who come to this sort of film generally know exactly what they ' re looking for . island of death ticks almost every box when it comes to exploitation cinema , featuring scenes . . .

as a video nasty , island of death will be remembered alongside movies such as cannibal holocaust and nekromantik , but unlike these films , island of death never has a great deal to say . despite some half - baked ideas about religious extremism , most of the sex and violence happens for no other reason than to shock . though fans of exploitation films will undoubtedly want to take the journey , island of death is – for the most part – a rather joyless destination .

banned on video between 1984 and 2011 , island of death has gained a reputation as being one of the most shocking and violent films ever made . filled with rape , incest , murder and bestiality , the film is certainly a transgressive one , even though the point of some of these scenes is often questionable . nico mastorakis , the writer and director of the film , has often stated that the only reason he made island of death was for money , and indeed , it’s hard to see it as anything more than an exploitation film . but island of death – with all its gratuitous sex and violence – does pose some interesting questions , particularly those that deal with a religious suspension of the ethical .

the powerful and very personal documentary “strong island” is the story of a black family that could not sustain the blow of racial injustice and fell apart .

this is super . the film follows the escapades of a pair of psychopaths on the run on the beautiful island of mykonos . chock full of violence and unexpected scenes and jawdropping dialogue it typifies the grindhouse era . also featuring an absolutely brilliant but mental soundtrack a film that could not possibly be made these days . i loved it and i can ' t think of any other film like it .

fascinating and moving low - budget film with a very well judged performance from john hurt as a novelist and widower out of touch with the ' modern world ' ( such as it was in the 1990s ) , who finds himself attracted to a hollywood star of terrible films ( jason priestly on good form ) . the film charts gerald de ' ath ' s initial attraction to borderline obsession as he flies to long island in the hopes of meeting with the object of his affection , with by turns funny , warm and sad results . love and death on long island has an admittedly televisual feel and a small scope but remains an impressive film and has a fascinatingly enigmatic ending .

writer / director nico mastorakis failed to live up to the reputation he carved out with his debut film , and his name was eventually lost in the sea of dreck overflowing from video shelves in the ’80s and beyond . it’s debatable whether island of death did the mykonos tourist board any favors either – not unless they wanted to attract fringe thrillseekers or zorba the sheep shagger . if the island belongs to the “innocent” , as defended by christopher , then we should probably leave them to it .

the title refers to both a well - known manus island bird and the name of a notorious isolation compound within the manus centre — a place dreaded by detainees .

nico mastorakis’ island of death may not be one of the most famous video nasties , but it certainly is one of the most twisted films on the list , wallowing in an endless series of inventively repellent acts of degradation . it’s also unique in that it is a greek production , although filmed in english with american and british leads . it is hard to think of other greek films that inspired such global controversy in the wake of this one – at least until the recent films of yorgos lanthimos , such as dogtooth and alps , caused a stir decades later .

island of death begins with a brief fragment of its climax , which shows christopher ( robert behling ) suffering at the hands of his wife celia ( jane lyle ) . the scene quickly transitions to a rosy beginning , as the couple approach the beautiful island of mykonos by sea . we know they have a peculiar relationship when they decide to screw in a phone booth – while connected to his mother for the occasion . she is rightfully appalled ; little does she know that her son tends to express his catholic guilt by sodomising goats and urinating on elderly women .

a group of tourists become stranded on an uninhabited island where they are stalked by an insane , violent , and grotesque killer that slaughtered the town ' s former residents .

has had an especially fraught history with the bbfc ( british board of film classification ) . like mastorakis himself has said , the story behind a film is often more interesting than the movie itself .

every week , i look at the tv film listings in the hope of finding this film , trying to remember its name , every week the same nagging disappointment that i can never find it .

christopher and celia , masquerading as a married couple , arrive on the greek island of mykonos to commit a crime spree . christopher , who describes himself as an avenging angel , aims to rid the island of all forms of sexual perversion , indiscriminately killing gay men , lesbians , adulterers and drug addicts . the irony , of course , is that he and celia are the most perverse characters in the film . within the first fifteen minutes , christopher has already raped and killed a goat , and when both characters are molested at the end of the film , they both take pleasure in watching the other suffer .

soul survivor is not the film . i remember seeing sole survivor at the time it was shown on tv in the 70 ' s and was disappointed that it wasn ' t the film i remembered . the film as i remember was in black and white , my parents only had colour tvs , and only at the end of the film the crew realised they were dead . no scenes of helicopters and no scenes of rescue .

shooting the film during a break between seasons of his hit tv show gave priestley a brief escape from “90210” mania .

filming for the bbc drama was called to a halt when there was a red alert before hurricane irma crossed the island two weeks ago .

( 1974 ) . he noticed how much money that film was making and decided to make a film more violent and perverse in order to make even more money .

the team on death in paradise have said to urltoken that they were adhering to the instructions from the authorities in guadeloupe , and suspended filming after the red alert was signalled ahead of hurricane irma .

mastorakis has often gone on record to say that there was no artistic intention behind island of death and that it was a labour of financial lust , to afford him a prosperous filmmaking career . to that end , his feature debut was a roaring success ; the controversial screen matter ensured its place on the video nasty list , courting notoriety and cementing its place in the cinematic pantheon .

director mastorakis , who was a major player in greek tv , became inspired to make island of death after noticing the financial success of tobe hooper’s the texas chain saw massacre . given the film’s gritty nastiness and hazy intensity , it’s logical to assume that upping the violence and perversity would rake in more cash , and that’s just what mastorakis did . the proto - slasher was not only one of the earliest attempts to mimic the texas chain saw massacre , but one of the principal titles in greek exploitation cinema , and certainly the most successful .

insanely caustic satire on conservative values masquerading as a sick joke of a horror film , and also a pretty good travelogue .

island of death is a true ungodly video nasty coming to you straight from the best euro - exploitation period . this year 2003 , the movie received a complete digital remastering and it finally got released on special edition dvd . the box showed nothing but a red background with the explicit words : " the one movie that the censors didn ' t want you to see " and " sorry but we can ' t display images of the film on the cover since they ' re too gruesome " . a bit exaggerated of course , this movie is far from being the goriest or most shocking film i ' ve ever seen . nevertheless it ' s mean - spirited , raw , brutal and pretty disturbing from time to time . " island of death " doesn ' t take the rules of humanity too strict and it isn ' t exactly what they call " politically correct " . the movie seems to start like a lovely romantic comedy when a young couple arrives on a greek island . they look average but in fact they put other famous cinema couples like bonnie & clyde and mickey & mallory to shame . they brutally slaughter every person they come into contact with ( mostly right after sexual intercourse which give the killings a nasty effect ) and they have a few bizarre fetishes . island of death doesn ' t contain much humor unless you see the irony in many things . for example : the guy kills homosexuals because he thinks it ' s pervert and against the will of god , while he himself has sex with a young goat ! i thought that was pretty ironic , and there are lots of similar " jokes " to discover in " island of death " . even though there are a lot of horrible scenes , the movie itself is pretty light and not at all difficult too watch . excellent stuff for exploitation fans . the leading actress ( jane ryall ) is a beauty but she never played in movies again .

" i took a lot of shots of violence , but we didn ' t use any of those shots because this movie draws on a style of cinema that uses silence and poetry and it is completely different from a documentary film .

island of death is the video nasty equivalent of the story of bonnie and clyde . this film has an elevated status on the video nasty list as it ' s often seen to be one of the more nasty entries . this is certainly true , as the film features all manner of gory and sadistic sequences , and it really isn ' t hard to see why it got banned . as far as i ' m concerned , island of death is an absolute treat , as the film is a constant stream of highlights and it ' s a great deal of fun seeing our central couple skipping from one murder to the next . it ' s obvious that the film is not meant to be taken completely seriously , as director nico mastorakis implements a pitch black sense of humour into most sequences ; the fact that the central duo are complete and utter hypocrites is perhaps one of the most amusing things about the film . the plot simply follows a young british couple who travel to a small greek island . after a phone call to the man ' s mother , it soon becomes apparent that these aren ' t normal people ; and when they start murdering their way through the island ' s perverted inhabitants in the name of god , this notion is confirmed ! the film is notorious for a few scenes , the one involving a goat being of the most well - known . however , aside from this ; the film features a plethora of gory highlights to delight the exploitation fan , favourites of mine involving a man hanging out of a plane and a rather one - sided swordfight . as you would expect from a video nasty , the acting is rather poor ; with the central duo putting in particularly horrid performances . it really doesn ' t matter , however , as director nico mastorakis makes up for his actor ' s lack of talent by selecting a beautiful lead actress ; and the stunningly clean greek locations , which brilliantly offset the gritty scenes of slaughter . films like this are quite common , as aside from bonnie and clyde , we ' ve also had badlands , natural born killers , true romance and more ; but this is the one that is relentless and really gives the audience the impression that anything can happen . the film boils to down to an excellent climax , which delivers a brutal final twist to the tale as well as serving up comeuppance . . . well , almost . typically for this film , the comeuppance isn ' t dished out in the most immediately obvious way , and overall ; for its imagination , brutality and daring - i don ' t hesitate to recommend this film !

i sent this very enquiry to " empire " film magazine last year and they confirmed that the film is indeed sole survivior , a tv movie made in the early 1970 ' s and starring , amongst others , william shatner . unfortunately the film is not available on video . . . . . . . if anyone knows of a way to obtain a copy i ' d love to have one . it ' s a great film .

. . . a slight film , but it ' s extremely well - acted and darkly funny .

ok all , definitive answer time as i have been obsessed with this film for years . the film is indeed sole survivor a 1970 tv movie . the reason why the difficulty in identifying it is that there are two versions of the film . the original tv american movie had the survivors knowing they were ghosts and haunting the survivor . the film was released in europe to the cinemas in 71 , and was re - edited so the crew did not know they were dead , thus changing the entire aspect of the film . love both versions and have a very grainy vhs copy of the bbc in about ' 82 , hope this helps paul

director nico mastorakis has made a cynical cash - grabber ( by his own admission ) that is too cynical to impress anybody but a sophomore genre fan . the most extreme , confronting genre pics , to paraphrase a character in videodrome , " have a philosophy " ; that is what makes them dangerous . island of death ' s philosophy is to throw many " shocking " elements into a cinematic mix and stir slowly . the result is a dish with no taste but an ugly appearance . not to be confused with serrador ' s brilliant who could kill a child ? ( sometimes called island of death ) , mastorakis ' s effort is set on a greek island which is a stage for various forms of slaughter , a little bestiality and some wholesale perversion . everything moves at a snailish pace and the violent set pieces are poorly directed . touted as " the movie that the censors didn ' t want you to see " , i ' d hazard a guess that the censors never saw it , they simply read the presskit until their knees jerked upwards .

a young couple with a questionable past arrive on a scenic greek island and unleash a fury of licentiousness and brutality on the residents . they sure know how to spice up a relationship . in its uncut version , the film is the kind of depraved experience that only the seventies could deliver . an oddly captivating mix of tranquility and perversion . one of the " video nasties " that deserves its notoriety . i ' m hereby adding nico mastorakis to a list of directors that i need more exposure to .

a spokesperson for red planet picture told urltoken ‘the safety of the cast and crew remains paramount and the death in paradise team are in constant contact with the local authorities . filming has been suspended until we are advised it is safe to continue . ’

richard kwietniowski wrote and directed the tongue - in - cheek drama , adapting the tale from the novel of the same time by gilbert adair . before filming began in picturesque nova scotia ( standing in for long island , n . y . ) , the film’s two stars spent time getting to know each other by exploring halifax .

di poole was seconded by scotland yard to the fictional island of saint - marie , a british colony , in the first series to solve a murder and ordered to stay . eagle - eyed viewers will spot that the vehicles have french number plates . that ' s because the real five islands of guadeloupe are a french department . death in paradise is the first major tv show to be shot there , giving it a chance to show off its credentials as a holiday paradise .

like mastorakis himself has said , the story behind a film is often more interesting than the movie itself .

like jurassic park meets apocalypse now , the new kong : skull island brings cinema’s original giant monster thundering back into theaters . with a bigger and meaner kong , a top notch cast that includes tom hiddleston , brie larson , samuel l . jackson ( ! ! ! ) and john c . reilly ( ! ! ! ! ) , and stunning , never been seen before on film locations , kong : skull island reinvents the terrorsome titan for a whole new generation .

it sounds very like a book by james herbert called survivor ( or the survivor ) - not sure if they ever made a film of it though .

the name of the film was sole survivor and if you go to you tube and type in sole survivor you can sit back and enjoy the movie .

similarly , island of death is also interesting in the fact that there are no protagonists ; christopher and celia are , for all intents and purposes , the heroes of the film . when celia is raped by two tourists , it’s almost impossible to feel sorry for her , even though the scene is painfully long and graphic . there are , therefore , some challenging questions thrown up around our reactions to violence – mainly , is violence okay when it’s happening to someone we don’t like , and if so , how does that make us , the audience , any different from christopher justifying his crimes ?

at first , he thought the incidents were only a series of " elaborate pranks . " however , the ultimate object and purpose of the game became a life / death threatening proposition . the ' game ' was composed of an unpredictable series of increasingly life - changing events , causing him to paranoically ask : " is it real or not ? " he wondered : " i ' m being toyed with by a bunch of depraved children . "

i remember the film and have been trying to find the name of the film for years . i don ' t believe it to be sole survivor , the film was clearly a sixties or even fifties movie . the crew of the doomed plane crash landed in the desert , all the crew appeared to have survived the crash , trying to make the best of it and await for their rescue , when it arrives they are discovered dead in and around the wreckage , and then one by one disappear ; a bit like the film really . i would to see it again though .

jordan vogt - roberts digs out a trek across uncharted territory in kong : skull island . nearly 2 hours goes by before the calm returns to the island . there is a pretty decent pace pushing the story along , but it hurts the character development to a certain extent . part of it is there are too many characters to work with and follow . another part is there are a plethora of monster scenes that there isn ' t enough time spent with all the humans . the action is destructive and massive . there is no shame in showcasing kong on screen and this is a good thing . kong displays his power against the skullcrawlers . of all the human characters , samuel l . jackson and john c . reilly offer up the most interesting performances . kong gets much on love screen , probably even much more than any of the humans . kong : skull island drops the seismic charges and delivers an explosive traverse across the island .

wow ! can ' t believe i ' ve found this thread , i ' ve wondered about this film for years . there are definitely two different films being discussed here , mind you , and the original answer to the question posed is not sole survivor . i can remember watching this film and i can also remember what it ' s called . there is a very good reason why no one can find it in any database and that ' s because it shares the name of a very famous film which will dominate any internet search results . the film is called catch 22 , not to be confused by the famous 1970 film of the same name . saw it listed sometime back so settled down to watch . of course it was the 1970 film i was watching . disappointment . hope this helps .

i remember watching this film as well , way back in the 80s . i simply cannot remember the name of the film . however , i remember a scene from the film where a patrol came across the wreckage . all the airmen were standing to attention and then all of a sudden they realised that nobody could see them . they are all sitting around and one of time they disappeared as they were being buried . if i remember rightly , there was one guy left , i don ' t think his body was found though . damn good film , wish i could get my hands on it .

sorry i too am unable to find the film or title most are looking for , black and white for sure . saw it as a kid and like the ghosts i too have been waiting ever since , best film ever .

flight of the phoenix has been offered by a number of people during my quest . . . but , of course hollywood is about to release a new desecration - erm , version of that classic .

i too have been trying to find this film for years - and am still confused ! i agree entirely with those that say there were no survivors , and particularly with what ray mitcham says - that is spot on . thing is i think the title was flight of the phoenix , but obviously not the film with jimmy stewart in , maybe a made for tv film with the same name ? but also - not an episode of anything , it was a full length flm . so - anyone out there know about the film ray and i are talking about !

lack lives are too easy to take in america because we don’t want to question why people are so afraid of black and brown people to begin with , ” says yance ford , bluntly . “and that’s what i want strong island to do . ”

at the family dock ( witnessed by martin ) , in an act of self - defense in 1965 , harriet clobbered drunken gottfried with a rowboat oar and drowned him , and then fled in a car ( hiding under a blanket ) with the help of look - alike cousin anita ( who later died of breast cancer in england at the age of 37 ) , her closest friend . anita had covered up the fact that she had aided harriet in escaping the island . ( mikael realized he was mistaken . both anita and harriet were his baby - sitters . ) gottfried ' s death was blamed on his drinking and a fall into the lake .

what makes strong island stand out – and what earned it awards at sundance , sheffield and other film festivals – is its combination of universal resonance and personal authorship . in the former instance , it is an emblematic tale of shattered faith in the american dream . we learn how the ford family moved north to escape the ingrained discrimination of the south , where ford’s grandfather died of an asthma attack in a “coloureds only” doctor’s waiting room , yards away from medical help . we learn how long island’s racism was better concealed – how black families were permitted to buy property only in a few tightly zoned areas . his parents became public - sector workers : his father worked on the trains ; his mother taught female inmates at new york’s rikers island prison . william was also a teacher , and was training to become a corrections officer when he was shot . these were people who believed that american society would provide for them if they played by the rules .

behrouz boochani , a kurdish journalist who continues to write articles from detention , shot the film entirely on a mobile phone .

in a weird way , i kind of admire this film in how mean - spirited and borderline misanthropic it is . this film was made purely to shock and make money and it definitely succeeds in that , although some things that were once deemed shocking have since lost the impact they once had .

scott wampler is an online film blogger , podcast host , and man of constant sorrow living in austin , tx . his likes include creature from the black lagoon , the filmography of david lynch , and the conspicuous consumption of alcohol . dislikes include people and unfrosted pop - tarts .

' prostitutes , orgies , group sex - all of it ' : ex - wife of . . .

i agree with the men not knowing that they are dead and remember the film as . so g in b & w ; for most of it and only being in colour at the end when the rescuers arrive and i think john wayne ' s son was in it . i so have been trying to find out the name of this film for years

in the film ' s conclusion , vengeful myra had been shot to death by lilly , and then myra ' s face - blasted and disfigured corpse was made to look like lilly ' s . roy was called upon , as next - of - kin , to identify his mother at the phoenix morgue - he concealed that he noticed lilly ' s right hand did not have its tell - tale cigar burn mark .

island of death is not really a good movie , by any standard , but it is a curious one . imagine if natural born killers had been made 20 years too early , as a greek eurotrash porn film . that ' s what you get here - the quaint story of a young , sociopathic british couple cutting a deadly swath through the population of a lovely little greek island . i ' ll spare you a detailed breakdown of the plot ; it ' s not really important except to set up increasingly perverse or violent sex scenes followed by disturbingly brutal murders , often lovingly photographed for posterity by our charming young couple . it could have been brilliant , in its own sick and nasty way , but instead . . . instead , i found myself impatiently checking the run time and chapter index to see how much longer the parade was going to last . sluggish pacing and listless , bland acting turn even vilest perversities into pablum , and connecting scenes into an eternity of dull plodding . ah , well . you can ' t win ' em all .

i remember with clarity , a boy 9 or 8 roasting some bird eggs on a hot rock and eating for survival after a plane crash and gets to be a survivor in the film . but can ' t remember film name . can anybody ?

ben affleck ' s directorial debut film was an adaptation of dennis lehane ' s novel gone , baby , gone . in the film ' s opening voice - over narration during the credits , private investigator patrick kenzie ( casey affleck ) spoke about how his job was to find missing people because of his connections in the tough neighborhood where he grew up ( in the working class area of dorchester near boston ) :

one of the major breaks in the case of harriet ' s disappearance was a set of intriguing multiple photographs taken during a children ' s day parade in 1966 in the town of hedestat , shot in rapid sequence and viewed as a film . the most important of the photos was the one seen from harriet ' s point - of - view - she was fearful of the startling sight of her teen brother martin vanger ( in a tell - tale blue striped sweater ) stalking her from across the street during the parade - after which she fled and disappeared .

" . . . but this is the one film for which mastorakis will be remembered among cult movie buffs . . . "

the film ' s theme tied together puberty with blood , sexual desire and metamorphic body changes ( including possession and infection ) .

" after the film was finished , i found out my beard had gone grey from too much stress , " he said .

now . christopher means ‘bearing christ’ in greek , and ‘celia’ means ‘heaven’ in latin . i tell you this because , without doing absolutely any research on this film ( except to see if mykonos is a real island , and to see what the religion would be there ) , what this film genuinely comes off to like me is somebody rebelling darkly against their religious background , and doing so in the extreme way that often is the hallmark of somebody from a christian or catholic past . and seeing as how i find those sorts of films to be incredibly tedious ( “ooooh look , jesus won’t like me for doing that ! anarchy ! ” ) , fingerpainting - in - shitty piles of faux - rebellious nonsense , watching this film was boring as hell to me .

“mother , i see the wonders of the day / millions of people left like clay / millions of whispers saying “i’m dying” / mother see the wonders of the day . ” some rubbish folksinger prick on the soundtrack here .


grizzly rage is a 2007 canadian television horror film produced by rhi entertainment that premiered in canada on the video-on-demand channel movie central on demand on june 7 , 2007 .

it aired in the united states on the sci fi channel on september 16 , 2007 .

filmed in winnipeg , manitoba , the film is the 2nd title in the maneater series produced under an agreement with syfy .

featuring a cast of four , the film focuses on a group of teenagers who struggle to survive in a restricted forest while an enraged grizzly bear hunts them relentlessly seeking retribution for killing its cub .

grizzly rage breaks the standard mold for many syfy natural horror films in that the bear featured is a normal grizzly bear rather than a mutant or genetically altered animal .

however , the bear and actors never appear together in the same frame , rather a man in a bear suit takes over the role when the actors must interact with the bear .

critics heavily panned the film , feeling its plot , script , characters , and special effects were substandard .

grizzly rage ( tv ) r1 - america - genius products review written by and copyright : andreas petersen ( 15th may 2008 ) .

grizzly rage is truly one of the worst movies ever - made me hate director david decoteau with a passion . that damn unstoppable and continuity damning jeep .

the video : shot on hd , the anamorphically enhanced , 1 . 78 : 1 widescreen image for grizzly rage looks surprisingly good , with a sharp , bright image and no compression issues i could spot . unfortunately , the location work is just as lame as all the other elements in grizzly rage , so don ' t count on any scenic benefits . quite appropriately , most of grizzly rage is shot in a large quarry pit . in other words : a hole .

when i first heard " grizzly rage’s " plot synopsis , i could barley contain my excitement . the story goes a little something like this : four recent high school grads , wes (

i had high hopes for " grizzly rage " . i really did . i’m a huge fan of movies so - bad - they’re - good . i always thought that strait - to - video horror films would be a potential gold mine when it came to comically horrible movies , but as time goes on , i’m discovering that this really isn’t the case , and " grizzly rage " , directed by

i ' ll be the first to admit that i enjoy shitty movies , guilty as charged . grizzly rage is too shitty , its shitty beyond scifi channel movie standards as wel as director david decoteau standards .

an unstoppable grizzly bear tracks down four teens after they accidentally kill its cub while celebrating graduation .

winnie - the - poop . genius entertainment has released , in what the dvd box cover touts as part of their maneater series , grizzly rage , a pathetically undernourished effort from director david decoteau ( he of sorority babes in the slimeball bowl - o - rama and test tube teens from the year 2000 fame ) . anyone hoping to experience even the slightest bit of drive - in schlocky fun in grizzly rage will be sorely disappointing by this bearly watchable dreck .

. after accidentally killing a bear cub while celebrating graduation in the woods , four teenagers become the target of a seemingly unstoppable grizzly bear .

product description grizzly rage is the sixth title in the " maneater series " and unveils the biggest beast of them all . when four high school buddies take a road trip to celebrate their graduation , vacation turns deadly when they accidentally hit a bear cub and suffer the wrath of the avenging mother grizzly . what unfolds is a long dark night of stark raging fear as they face off against the wilds of nature . one swipe of the great slashing paw and you are shredded to pieces . with no cell phones , no weapons , no light and only tension mounting , all the students have are their wits , a prayer and each other . directed by horror master david decoteau ( the brotherhood ) and including fierce shocks and slashing surprises , grizzly rage is a lean and uncompromising fear match between man and nature .

three words : grizzly bears are awesome . i was serious when i said this is the best movie i have ever seen . none can rival it . it makes shindler ' s list look like a flop . so often people misconstrue the true nature of an angry grizzly mother . seriously . even if it would send you into bankruptcy , you need to purchase the 8 - disc dvd set with over 246 hours of special features . it ' s amazing that only $ 15 million was spent on this fantastic 13 out of 10 star film . say goodbye to fame , steven spielberg , david decoteau is the new king of directing . now that i ' m finished talking about how fantastic this movie is , i ' ll tell you why . 1 . you should have known the entire time that the grizzly would win . they can fly , for crying out loud , and they can shoot quills at you . 2 . grizzly rage 3 . it has some of the most brilliant dialogue ever conceived . for example , " what ' s a bear doing all the way out here . . . ? " ( they ' re in a forest ) . 4 . the only thing more dangerous than an angry mama grizzly is a space grizzly . 5 . it had the best ending of any movie . ever . period . semicolon . exclamation mark . simply put : grizzly rage !

anyone who grew up during the ' 70s knows that the gone with the wind of grizzly attack flicks is director william girdler ' s masterpiece , grizzly ( " 18 feet of gut - crunching terror ! " ) , followed closely by werner herzog ' s recent documentary , grizzly man ( " you ' re the king , mr . brown bear ! you ' re the king ! oh , christ ! it ' s biting my f * cking head ! " ) . paws down , you ' ve got to go a long way to top those two , but i was hoping that grizzly rage could , at the very least , provide some minor thrills ( a bear - induced torn - off limb , a nice bear stomp to the head , some nudity besides wes taking off his shirt ) that even a first - year film grad should have been able to wrestle out of grizzly rage ' s premise . i mean , this isn ' t rocket science . it ' s a bear attack movie . show the bear . show some teeth . show some claws . show some people sliced , diced , munched on and stomped ( preferably in that order ) .

the story follows 4 high school graduates ( 3 guys and one girl , can you say sausage fest ) who break into a closed down nature preserve . sure its chained up and they ' re breaking and entering , she tries to convince the group but there ' s too much testosterone in the vehicle and they just graduated so they ' re invincible right ? once in they begin driving around like lunatics and wouldn ' t ya know it they hit and kill a grizzly cub triggering the mother ' s grizzly rage .

hey have you heard about this twilight thing ? apparently it’s all the rage in indie rock these days . as we previously reported thom yorke , death cab for cutie , and bon iver have all penned original songs for the soundtrack to upcoming twilight sequel , new moon . today , another name was added to the list— under the radar anticipated albums of 2009 cover artist , grizzly bear .

eight young adults are sent to do community service at grizzly park . there , they are hunted by an escaped serial killer along with the animals of the forest .

brad pitt visits the foot of the rocky mountains in northern utah , where the seus family celebrates the first birthday of their twins - their adopted grizzly bear cubs .

alas , such is not to be in grizzly rage . nothing works the way it should in grizzly rage , with poor scripting , poor plotting , poor direction , poor acting , and poor special effects pretty much making up a piss - poor attempt to craft an adequate exploitation piece . the story , such as it is , is remarkably sparse , which could have been to the film ' s benefit , had it been executed with even a modicum of talent or skill . after all , who needs exposition or character development in this kind of film ? just get on with the gnawing and the ripping , and have done with it . but grizzly rage introduces two subplots - a swamp filled with toxic waste and an abandoned shed , decked out with all kinds of bones and killing implements , like something out of the texas chainsaw massacre - that are briefly alluded to ( the swamp scene is literally one shot ) and then totally abandoned or ignored . what ' s up with the swamp ? did it make the bear the way she is ? or was it the cabin ? did the bear hold a grudge against the hunters that used to live there ? we ' ll never know .

pretty boring has a great plot and could ' ve been alot better , i actually dozed off once and i never do that on scary films . grizzly park was alot better !

" grizzly rage " is offered in an english dolby digital 2 . 0 stereo track . the sound is alright , but at times i felt as though the background music got too loud , drowning out a few line . the soundtrack of this movie is really something , by which i mean something really bad , whether a scene is sporting the generic horror theme , or the incredibly bad rock songs that play whenever the kids formulate a plan .

burger fiction barrels ahead with it ' s " evolution of " series . everyone ' s favorite rage - o - holic the wolverine is featured in this installment . something that immediately stands out is how much wolverine ' s superhero buddies enjoy using him as an improvised projectile .

when a film like 2007’s grizzly rage roars right out of the gate with a car filled with some of the most annoying people ever put to the screen , and you find yourself in excruciating pain – your skin crawling with repulsion for low iq immaturity – the only thing left that might be redeeming is seeing them all torn to graphically violent pieces . maybe watch them suffer , or get reduced to shredded limbs . or meat , just danging in the choppers of a pissed off bear .

in 1991 , doug and lynne established vital ground , a foundation that acquires private land and returns it to the wilderness , protecting nature and america ' s wild heritage and ensuring a lasting habitat for the great grizzly bear .

oh , it ' s all the rage , alright . four annoying teens on a road trip decide to stray from their original route to go goofballing in their truck and make a . . . . ahem . . . . grizzly discovery . splattering a cub with their truck starts a reign of terror as the mother grizzly goes on a rampage for revenge . naturally the truck ' s broken down and the cell phones don ' t get reception ( isn ' t it great that cell phones have that weakness out in the middle of nowhere ? what the hell would horror film directors do otherwise ? ) , so it ' s a fight to survive out in the boonies with an angry grizzly on the prowl . this " maneater " series from the sci - fi channel isn ' t scoring high points with me . grizzly rage was rather boring . i don ' t mind four cast members stranded and wandering around with no action for minutes on end , but there has to be some kind of hook for a movie like this to work . piles and piles of gore would have helped . instead the bear tends to just throw people in the air . since a real bear was used ( thank god ) , there are no scenes of it actually attacking people . you see quick cuts of the bear roaring and a comic book like dash of animated blood that streaks across the screen . that would be fine if it wasn ' t the only trick in the director ' s bag . hell , i ' m not gonna write a novel about this movie . watch it at your own risk if you think you can . . . . cough . . . cough . . . bear it .

i ' ve always liked these kinds of movies where people head out into the countryside and run into a creature that doesn ' t like it ' s territory being invaded . in this particular case 4 funloving kids head out into an area thats off limits and has a locked gate , but that doesn ' t stop these kids who are out looking for adventure and really aren ' t paying attention to the surroundings that they are wildly speeding through and unfortunately a small grizzly cub ( in the movie it ' s a black bear cub ) wanders out into the path of their off road vehicle is hit and killed and thus starts the saga of a grizzly mom full of pent of rage over the loss of her small cub . i liked the movie for the scenery and parts of the story line but this is just 1 in a long line of these kinds of movies made especially to fil

" grizzly rage " is presented in an inconsistent 1 . 78 : 1 widescreen anamorphic transfer . i say this because at times the movie looks decent , with the green colors of the woods coming out fine , but sprinkled throughout the film , shots will be obviously filmed with a different camera of far less quality . shots that are within a car or close up along a house or rock formation , for what ever reason , seem to be shot with some sort of hand held camera your dad would use to film your camping vacation . these shots got really annoying , and disrupted what shred of linear story telling the movie had .

its about four kids who hop into a rover they completely beat the shit out of before breaking down on their way to saranac grotto – an abandoned , chain link fenced , toxic waste dump . its a barren stretch of woods with , of course , no cell service . while skidding all over the road for no reason , they run over and kill a baby grizzly cub . momma grizzly immediately gets pissed and the froth mouthed , tv - movie caliber chase is on . all the while , back home , i’m sure whatever parent that owned the truck is hoping they die horrible deaths .

i started to watch grizzly rage ( titled off road in tv guide ) on tv last night but it was so bad i had to turn it off after 30 minutes . the plot was paper thin , the characters unbelievable . four graduates head " off road " and kill a bear cub in a restricted area . when the mother bear begins to stalk them , they start doing the dumbest things - ( 1 ) two of them head off in different directions - alone ! - to look for water for their overheated vehicle engine ( 2 ) with one guy already killed by the bear , a second guy goes wacky inside the car and causes the driver to go over an embankment ! it ' s just the type of movie that gives canadian films a bad reputation . . .

seems to have become the norm over here : we now expect artists to appear fully formed , then spend the rest of their careers struggling to appear as interesting as they did at first . compare this to the fortunes of grizzly bear . they started life in 2004 – a year britain was falling , at various angles , for razorlight ,

this is an awful movie . it’s got no talent , no effects , and a laughable story . the characters are one dimensional and completely unlikable . if you really want to see a bear movie i recommend “grizzly man” at least that is real . if you want fiction with talent behind it see “the edge” . this one is just pathetic .

growing up grizzly features pitt as narrator in a year in the life of honey - bump and little bart , orphaned alaskan grizzlies whose mother was killed by a hunter . rescued by a state trooper , the little sister and brother newborn cubs were near starvation , but now they ' re healthy and happy and living a unique life with the seuses .

growing up grizzly follows honey - bump and little bart through their first year , as they grow and discover the wonders of the world around them - their first swim in the river , their first drive into town for ice cream and their first time on a hollywood movie set . it also looks at the seus ' unconventional techniques for training the bears .

but that ' s not surprising , because everything is cheated in grizzly rage . we never really see the jeep smack the bear cub ( could have been a good orca : the killer whale - type moment ) , we never see any nudity ( let ' s face it : a must in this kind of film , and kate tood looks up to the job ) , and we never see the bear actually maul or tear into someone . instead , we get these hilariously fake , g - rated blood splatters superimposed ( right out of the elevator scene in earthquake ) over murky , muddy frames that made disney ' s the bears and i look like dario argento by comparison . and when you don ' t have blood , and gore , and gut - crunchin ' , and ripped - off limbs , and stomped - on heads in a bear - attack film , you have nothing .

even worse is the dialogue from screenwriter arne olsen ( who penned what may be burt reynolds ' worst movie - and that ' s saying something , brother - cop and ½ ) . when we first see the four obnoxious characters who are to be the heroes of the film , their clichéd intros are : " yo , g ! " " who ' s my boy ? " and " livin ' large ! " when i heard that , i immediately scratched down in my notes , " which member of the poser mobile posse do i want dead first ? " - and i couldn ' t decide . they all deserved it , right in the neck . the kicker , though , for utter inanity in grizzly rage , has to come during the interminable wait in the jeep , when lauren and wes ponder life ' s mysteries in connection with random , horrific bear attacks . lauren , in a philosophical mood , postulates that the group

some songs have caused a degree of controversy . when yet again leaked , a youtube user compared it to coldplay , thus answering at a stroke the question : " what ' s the quickest way to send grizzly bear ' s fans apoplectic with rage ? " but he had a point , at least about where the music on shields might conceivably end up . making music that could fill arenas without first checking your brain into said arenas ' cloakroom facilities is clearly very difficult indeed : only grizzly bear ' s old friends radiohead seem able to continually pull in a mass audience without ever appearing to cravenly pander to the lowest common denominator . but yet again and a simple answer genuinely sound as if they could do the same . the arrangements and production are full of strange depths and unexpected touches – the former builds to a furious , distorted climax , the latter ' s lovely harmonies are trailed by an unsettling , piercing distorted noise – but at heart these are beautiful , strident , undeniable tunes . so is sun in your eyes , an epic clatter that surges from nothing to a piano ballad to a vast climax , underpinned by blaring , valedictory synths , then back to nothing again . it , too , has a weird time signature and tricky drumming , but it ' s not too much of a stretch to imagine huge crowds punching the air to it .

hilarity continues in the film ' s direction , or lack there of , to be more accurate . it ' s bad enough that decoteau puts us to sleep in the first half hour with our teen morons ( he can ' t even shoot their jeep mugwhamping with any verve , often recycling the same twenty yard stretch of trail with the car action footage sped up ) , but fatally , he can ' t make the bear attacks worthwhile because we never really see the bear attack anyone ! i mean , what the hell ? you never see the bear in the same frame as any actor , which obviously indicates someone either shot the bear stuff separately , or the actors and trainer were scared to death something tragic might happen . which doesn ' t seem plausible because the bear featured in grizzly rage is about the slowest , sleepiest , most non - threatening bear i ' ve seen since the giggling snuggles® laundry bear popped out of my load of whites ( where he was promptly returned to the dryer on " high heat " ) .

wow , that was one of the worst movies i have ever seen . how could they let this movie leave the cutting room floor ? horrible acting . the plot well um there is no plot other than we suck and will all die . no blood , crappy all the way . the bear cub they kill is a black bear and the mom is a grizzly wtf come on sombody on the set say somthing . bad bad bad bad bad bad bad .

this is by far the worst movie i have ever seen . . . it is so bad . . . the bear is completely horrendous . . . the acting is worse than an elementary school play . . . i almost vomited at the dialogue . . . . oh my god it was so bad i even called the company who made it and told them how bad it was . . . the only 2 hours of my life i truly regret . . . no one should ever watch this pile of trash . . was this a horror or a real bad comedy . . . what was the story . . . a bear cub gets killed and its mother takes revenge on the teens who killed it . . . . . who wrote that . . . a bunch of monkeys on meth . . . . i and my wife have never and will never see such an empty abismul movie again . . . . time to give the raspberry of the century award to this waste of time . i have no more to say . . . . bring on grizzly rage 2 . . . . not . . . lmao

it ' s not clear if huge crowds punching the air is what grizzly bear want : they trailed the album with sleeping ute , not the actions of a band desperate to lure in the floating voter . whatever happens , they ' re certainly not having to struggle to appear as interesting as they did on arrival . if anything , they ' re getting more intriguing as they go on : an object lesson in the value of allowing things to progress at their own pace .

then tank top starts getting depressed and asking bimbo several times “why is this happening to us ? ” are you really wondering that dipshit ? i can think of a few reasons . tank top goes to scale a cliff to see if he can get cell phone reception . it’s a no go so he howls in anguish . he gets back to the car and they talk about regrets . before the t - rex from jurassic park , i mean the grizzly topples the jeep .

" grizzly rage " starts out great , as in really bad , but in that beautiful sort of way that is really entertaining to watch . the four kids talk like the most stereotypical students , beginning every sentence with “dude” and ending each sentence with “bro” . they form the “rock on” gesture with their hands whenever something cool happens , or whenever they listen to horrible rock music in their car . they wear backwards hats , surfer shorts , and sandals . the sheer ridiculousness of it all grabbed me . sorrowfully , 20 minutes in , the movie let go . when the vicious mama bear makes her appearance , i thought i was going to watch her tear at least two of these kids apart , which would have made their dialogue and teenage - ery in the beginning worth it . however , whenever the bear attacks , the camera cuts to a close up shot to a person in bear chaps sort of rolling over the person being mauled , and a really lame blood splat hits the camera . the thing is , it’s not even real - fake blood , but rather some sort of animation that looks as though it were made in flash .

they spin doughnuts in the woods . driving like assholes until they hit a tree and realize they hit and killed a bear cub . by this point they don’t care one bit about doing the right thing so they just leave as mamma grizzly roars a very pissed sound that is less bear like and more the sound of a prehistoric monster . at least this movie helped me not give a hoot in hell about any of these characters . frankly , i want them all to die .

this film is about when 4 teens ( wes , shaun , ritch and lauren ) go wild after they graduate from high school , brake into private property , and kill a grizzly cub whose mother goes on rage to kill them . the film includes bad actors , goofs , and the toxic junk shouldn ' t even be in it . i gave it two because i gave it a little credit and at least all the bad actors died ! i wish i could go back in time and never watched this rip - off . i mean , bears don ' t live in that territory , 3 branches will not hold a car , and fake blood splatters isn ' t going to make it better . plus , at least a woman got a contraption in her back for bad acting ! plus , this is the first movie i ' ve seen that before the credits , it says the title again . my rating : d - so don ' t waste your life on this junk like i did , it is also possibly the top ten boringest film i have ever seen ! plus , the dialog is boring and pointless . don ' t watch this boring junk .

grizzly ( mutant ? ) mama vs the stupid teens that accidentally killed her cub . i was totally cheering for the bear . there ' s also some sort of lame environmental message tossed in every once in a while that only serves to make you want the bear to kill the kids faster . i actually thought that we were going to have a david decoteau movie where the hot dudes keep their clothes on . . . nope , the pretty dude wears boxers ( * spoiler * ) .

there are certainly moments when shields sounds exactly like you might expect something that ' s been agonised over by a bunch of clever american indie musicians for three years to sound : what ' s wrong drifts beautifully along without connecting , its intricate mesh of woodwind , vocal harmonies , jazzy drum patterns and string interludes all good judgment and no gut - punch . but more often , it sounds as if grizzly bear have spent their time away digging out the emotions that sometimes get buried beneath the technical fireworks . speak in rounds builds to a climax that – to use a phrase not much associated with grizzly bear – rocks , and furthermore rocks in a viscerally thrilling manner . the opener , sleeping ute , is every bit as knotty as anything on veckatimest , but its odd time signature and synthesiser arpeggios appear to be there for a purpose . the music sounds as if it ' s tossing and turning : " if i could find peace … if i could lie still … but i can ' t help myself . "

in a scene transition that could give whiplash it’s suddenly night . scarf - head mentions seeing a bear trap in the cabin . so they go off to get it . bimbo decides to go grab it since tank top has a weak leg after the car topple . the camera work would make you think this is a spooky thing to wander around the cabin . but it’s not as if jason voorhees is going to pop out behind a corner it’s a fucking grizzly bear outside . it does however swipe at her through the wall causing her to impale herself on the trap a bit .

the kids are either deaf or the grizzly has such an amazing stealth skill that we see pov shots of her sneaking up on the assholes like she was the predator . the assholes separate to find water to attempt to get some for the jeep . hunter thompson finds some in what looks like the dead marshes of lord of the rings . too bad he didn’t hear the bear . it sneaks up behind him and swipes at his face . for some reason his head manages to stay on . instead we get a cheap cgi blood splatter on the camera as if that adds to the realism .

legendary director werner herzog is known for his sometimes fanatical commitment to his films , including moving a 320 - ton steamship over a hill in the amazon for 1982’s “ fitzcarraldo ” — and the way he puts his characters in some of the most extreme and dire situations imaginable ( have you seen “ grizzly man ” ? ) . his latest film , “ salt and fire , ” is no different , as it has one of the protagonists trapped in a vast salt flat with two blind boys . but the director himself said he’s not scared of those situations — or anything at all — when asked about his fears by . . .

after they find out hunter thompson is dead bimbo starts yelling at the boys about how she told them not to go on this detour . one of the guys shouts back “we get it . you’re a genius and we’re all a bunch of tools . ” well , that is half right . scarf - head decides he is going to attempt to hike for help he arms himself with a tire iron and starts running . i should mention that if you are up against a grizzly bear in a fight a tire iron will do squat . in a straight up fight the best you can do is shit yourself in the hopes that it makes you taste worse for the bear .

an alt - rock band hitting it big in britain after five years , with their third album , would be in itself a talking point , but it was compounded by the fact that veckatimest was an improbable candidate for top 10 success . to hear grizzly bear talk about its accessibility , you would have thought veckatimest was a brazen lunge for the mainstream jugular involving a guest appearance from justin bieber and production by calvin harris and will . i . am . in fact , it sounded more like their trickiest record to date , a rich , dense weave of sound that variously involved the composer nico muhly , the brooklyn youth chorus and a string quartet drawn from the american contemporary music ensemble .

there’s no nuance to be found in herzog’s film about an abducted scientist forced to fend for herself in an alien landscape . still , the film - maker’s tale telling has its weird appeal following his clumsy gertrude bell biopic queen of the desert ( which still has yet to be released – if ever – in the us ) , werner herzog is back with salt and fire , another scripted effort about how foreign surroundings can change a person . it’s a topic that has fascinated the film - maker for much of his storied career , most searingly in his 2005 documentary grizzly man . salt and fire has more in common with queen of the desert , boasting an equally risible screenplay and messy performances – but like all of herzog’s output , it casts its own strange spell . in clumsy but hilarious fashion , herzog gets needed exposition out of the way early in salt and fire by having his heroine ,

if there’s one thing germans love more than techno , it’s werner herzog . the legendary german new wave director experienced a renaissance of sorts with “ grizzly man ” in 2005 , propelling him to cult status amongst millennials , and he has been riding that high ever since . read more : werner herzog says independent film is a ‘myth , ’ and america is stronger than trump tonight , herzog will sit down at the metropolitan museum of art in new york to discuss how music inspires his films , using clips to illustrate his unique ear . throughout his more than 50 - year career , herzog has collaborated with a wide array of musicians , including krautrock band popul vuh , german composer klaus badelt and dutch cellist ernst reijseger . the event is part of the red bull music academy , an annual series of music workshops and festivals that travels to a different city every year . founded in berlin with an emphasis on techno and dj culture ,

paris – werner herzog ( “ grizzly man ” ) will receive the carrosse d’or award at this year’s directors fortnight , the section which runs parallel to the cannes film festival . the society of film directors ( srf ) , which brings together top french filmmakers , said it was honoring herzog with the carrosse d’or to “pay tribute to [ his ] relentless energy and [ his ] great creativity , ” as well as his “ability to juggle formats , production norms and systems , and to blur the lines between fiction and documentary , feature films and television , reason and madness . ” “we also pay homage to your leadership and your powerful capacity to pull in hollywood stars as well as unknown people and amateurs , and to the way you impose your distinctive tone and vision , flouting moral conventions and political correctness , ” the sfr added . launched in 2002 by srf , the carrosse d’or recognizes a director each year for “the innovative qualities in his / her films ,

many hollywood stars openly oppose donald trump and his political agenda . however , german filmmaker werner herzog is simply fascinated by the us president . read more : ‘ salt and fire ’ exclusive clip : michael shannon and gael garcia bernal unite to save the world in werner herzog ’s thriller “he’s the first time you have a real independent . [ trump has ] turned against the republican party , and he’s vehemently against the media , justifiably so to some degree , and i find this a very significant novelty , ” the “ grizzly man ” director told rolling stone . “trump and bernie sanders stuck out because he’s authentic . and it’s mysterious how trump is getting away with literally everything . i see it with great , strange fascination . very , very unusual . ” read more : shia labeouf says america is no longer safe for his anti - trump art installation the director has two films coming out in spring . “ salt and fire , ” an ecological thriller starring michael shannon ,

the rest of the movie has to be one of the dullest 70 minutes of my life . the characters come up with ways to survive , but each one takes up extended periods of time , and end up adding nothing to the plot’s progression . characters will spend ten minutes crawling up a mountain to get a better signal on their phone , see the bear , run away , and that’s it . the last 15 minutes of the film are particularly excruciating , as the characters form plan after plan , and none of them even do anything to stop the bear . maybe the filmmaker’s behind this movie wanted to convey a feeling of “this bear is unstoppable ! ” but i just got really bored . thankfully , the movies ends in one of the most comically abrupt ways i have seen in recent memory , so at least i got a few laughs . but with a movie like this , a “few laughs” really isn’t enough to deal with it . i need the dialogue to be trite , the gore to be excessive , and the drama to be cheesy , not completely bland in all three categories . save your time and rent a real bear movie , like the 1976 classic " grizzly . "

first a grizzly as large as the one in this film would need a large hunting ground but yet seemed to be in a fairly small one around a blocked of toxic waste dump and has never been noticed by anyone . second is the waste dump it self why so many shots of it when they never bothered to say why , was it the reason the bear was so aggressive / seemingly intelligent , was the bear put there to guard the dump , where did the dump come from , why has it not affected the trees and ground water to get noticed by rangers and or nearby communities as from the rusty barrels it has been there for many years . intelligence on the people , a tire iron is not going to do much against a adult bear , going off alone over and over when as a group they would stand a better chance , not trying to make weapons such as spears at nigh they sit around 2 flash lights instead of building a large a fire as they can for light to give warning of the bear but also to use as protection not to mention to maybe signal someone that at least they were in a no trespassing area to get rangers interested . the cabin seemed to be set up as a defensible position but they don ' t use it or get any of the weapons from it , also who built it when and what happened to them and when , as recent chicken remains are shown but the cabin it self look long deserted . they trap the bear in the barn but they already see it is getting lose but they just walk away with out trying to reinforce the trap or kill the bear that escapes and kills them leaving no one left alive . alas your left just siting there going what just happened and why did a watch this .

plot synopsis should be a snap . . . since there isn ' t one . four annoyingly rich and smug teenagers , just graduated from high school , pile into their friend sean ' s ( graham kosakoski ) jeep and head off for their annual summer vacation . posers of the first hilarious magnitude , the rest of this inane " posse " include wes ( tyler hoechlin ) , the poetic one ( he recites something - badly - at the beginning to impress us ) ; ritch ( brody harms ) , for whom the screenwriter apparently couldn ' t summon up any distinguishing characteristics , and potentially sexy ( looking very much like tara reid after a good , strong , hot shower and subsequent disinfecting ) lauren ( kate todd ) , who doesn ' t appear to " be with " any of the guys .

sean , making a spur of the moment decision to change route plans , gets the group to agree to go to saranac grotto , which is evidently a notorious restricted wooded area ( the film just assumes we ' re going to decipher that - like a lot of things in this movie ) . once inside the gated - off area , out in the middle of nowhere , sean the 4 - wheeler quickly cracks up the jeep after he runs over a bear cub . almost immediately , the scooby - dumbass gang are threatened by the cub ' s mother , who relentlessly stalks the group ( i . e . : shuffles around wherever its trainer throws food ) in a day and night of unrelentingly terror . i mean utter boredom .

. and she ' s being punished for that . i kid you not .

the audio : the dolby digital english 5 . 1 stereo track is incorrectly mixed , with " crucial " ( hee hee ) dialogue often muddied by the anonymous music cues . there are no subtitles or close - captions .
