...appearance could have been someone's idea of a joke. Grizzly, however, bears no internal evidence that the film makers possess a sense of humor. The only human emotion apparently familiar to them is greed. They cast the movie either with worn faces (George, Andrew Prine, Richard Jaeckel) or yokels who must have been discovered hanging around the Georgia location. Then they turned their attentions to having most of this motley assembly torn asunder by a marauding bear who is, in fact, rather cute. Since the bear seems such a regal, friendly creature, and since the cast...
...cheapie sci-fi entertainments. Director Roley does not enhance audience involvement by shooting everything through a diffusion filter. Obviously derived from The Birds, Chosen Survivors is also strictly for them. Or maybe for the made-for-TV movie market, where most of the cast - Jackie Cooper, Alex Cord, Richard Jaeckel, Bradford Dillman, Diana Muldaur - customarily find work...

Sarrazin, whose past performances have been consistent only in their boredom, is at ease and quite effective as a maverick Stamper home from the big city. Jaeckel is perfect as an inveterate joker who takes only his fundamentalist religion seriously, and Newman is better than he has been in years as the favorite son who idolizes his father. Fonda, as the old man, simply beats everyone cold. He has a death scene that must stand among the best work...
