Grizzly Falls

L.A. Weekly by

When you don't find yourself wondering about dialogue that's drowned out by rushing rivers and footfalls in the brush, something is very wrong.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt

While the story and acting are the opposite of subtle, young moviegoers may enjoy the action and suspense.

New York Daily News by Jack Mathews

To be avoided by anyone considering a vacation to anything wilder than a zoo.

Chicago Tribune by John Petrakis

(Kids) are likely to reject Grizzly Falls as though it were a piece of chewed-over bear fat.

The New York Times by Lawrence Van Gelder

Combines old-fashioned boys' adventure with a heavy-handed modern lecture on parenthood. The film possesses a decent heart but suffers from a simple mind.

Variety by Robert Koehler

Lame stuntwork and subdued thrills indicate not just a low-budgeter, but a blindness to what target aud demands.
