Cocaine Bear : Review
2 years ago
As stated previously, this is a fictional retelling of the drug related death of Pablo Eskobear aka Cocaine Bear currently displayed in a mall in Kentucky.
It's a comedy horror that nails the comedy and the horror, with some funny one lines and some surprisnly grusome effects.
Some of the CG for the bear is a little spotty but once the film gets to night time that helps cover any dodgy CGI.
Characters and subplots are present, namely
* The Cop who got a lap dog as a rescue dog rather than the "Mans Best Friend" style dog he wanted
* A Single mother who works as a Nurse who has started dating again much to her daughters annoyance
* The daughter who's acting out at her mum dating again and blowing off a promised event in the part so she skips school with her friend Henry
* A griving son of a drug lord and his best friend who are sent off by their boss to revcover the drugs lost and mostly eaten by the bear.
Theres a couple of sub characters / plots such as the thirsty Park Ranger with a crush on the wildlife activist who is a little out there and a trio of troublemaker teens who make the mistake of trying to roll one of the drug lords men leading to a very nicely shot brutal fight in the toilet
Even being partially sighted, the nighttime parts where visable to me which makes a change
The two child actors are really good though we spend more time with Henry (the kid in the tree from the trailier)
Theres a shocking death, a pair of fairly mean deaths, a fake out, a undeserved death. Cleverly most of the deaths are off screen with your Imagination doing the heavy lifting then they chuck the after effects at you.
A possible hook for a second gim right at the end
What I feel is a nod to the excellent Black Sheep horror film
Im also calling it now, some buggers going to make a film invovling a shark on cocanie
Go see it, its a blast

For the record I despite the juggernaught that was Sharknado, Alyxvixen (my partner) loves them.
