Grizzly Park is an American horror film, released February 8, 2008. It was written and directed by Tom Skull.Eight troubled young adults are inducted into a rehabilitation program: They will be sent to serve a week of community service for their respective misdemeanors at a national park dubbed Grizzly Park. Little do they know that the guy that should drive them there has been murdered and replaced by an escaped Serial Killer and rapist. And then everything gets a turn for the worse when another serial killer, this time of the Ursus arctos species, appears and decides to pick them for dinner one by one.Not to be confused with Grizzly Rage, which amusingly, also features a killer bear.

comment
Misplaced Wildlife: The movie takes place in California, but the beast in question is an Alaskan Kodiak bear. It's actually justified: It's said early on that the last grizzly in the park was killed in 1922, and the killer bear is revealed to be commanded by Ranger Bob in the end, who presumably brought it. Wolves were reintroduced in the park after extirpation. This is obviously based on the reintroduction of wolves in Yellowstone in 1995; no wolves had been released in California by 2008, but they started venturing on their own from Oregon in 2011.

Screw the Rules, I Have Money!: Ryan ended up in community service rather than in jail despite having sex with a minor and leaving her in a coma because his parents are loaded. Unfortunately for him, not even his rich parents can stop a bear from attacking him.

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Bebe spends the whole movie appearing as a girl who is so stupid that she can't tell a cat from a skunk, and is only there because a friend of hers let her leave a store with some unbought clothes as a joke. She seems like the only likable character in the movie... Then she locks Candy in a cabin for the bear to munch on and muses on whether she should kill Ranger Bob and blame it on the bear for fun.

Deranged Park Ranger: Ranger Bob initially seems like a sarcastic survivalist watching over a group of delinquents. However, when he finds out that some of the delinquents under his supervision got away with crimes which are truly heinous, he demonstrates a Knight Templar side when he decides to set a grizzly bear on all of them.

Cell Phones Are Useless: Several instances: The kids aren't allowed to use cell phones in the first place. The only phone that works in the forest is Ty's satellite phone anyway, and he lends it to Candy before deciding to split the gang. This does not end well for him. The Serial Killer kills early the only other ranger in the park and breaks up the cabin's radio.

All Animals Are Domesticated: The first thing Ranger Bob tells the group is that wild animals are not domesticated. A minute later, Bebe ignores it. The domesticated animal fallacy comes full circle in the end when it's revealed that the murdering bear was controlled by Ranger Bob the whole time.

Asshole Victim: Almost all of the deaths in the movie, save for the community service driver and Ranger Mike, are portrayed as either well deserved, or nobody who will be missed, in particular an escaped serial killer and rapist, an ephebophile, a gangster girl, a Neo-Nazi, a con man, and a woman who poisoned her own mother. Bebe, the final survivor, turns out to be faking her sweet act and contemplating Bob's murder before he kills her last.

Then she brags about surviving over her cell phone and muses on whether she should kill Ranger Mike and make it look like the bear did it. Unfortunately for her, Ranger Bob overheard...

Super-Persistent Predator: Subverted most of the time. It's said early that this is the time of the year when bears eat the most before going into hibernation, yet the bear only kills (and always eats) one person per night. Then in the final 20 minutes it enters the camp and kills everybody present non-stop but because it's controlled by Ranger Bob, who has decided that all the young delinquents deserve to die.
