UNNATURAL (2015)

When I was about 14 I caught the film Grizzly in a theater, and have been sort of hooked on killer wildlife movies since.  Unnatural (aka Maneater) offers nothing new via story: snotty photographer and his put-upon assistant and two models arrive at an isolated Alaskan lodge for a three-day photo shoot - just in time for a nearby research center, owned by an Evil Corporation that claims to be eco-friendly, to be torn apart by a very big, very genetically-altered polar bear that's very thirsty for blood.  Even with the stock plot I really enjoyed this film; it's a fun "monster flick" that builds up good suspense and action with limited gore, at the same time giving viewers one really awesome-looking, bad-ass polar bear that doesn't look all CGI or like some dude in a suit!  For that reason alone, this was just plain fun (if these are your type of movies), with an ending that at least tries to step away from the cliche a bit. (rated R)  B
