Bear on DVD in May

6 April 2010

An idyllic trip into bear country turns into a nightmare when the mini-van carrying two brothers and their partners suddenly blows a tire on a mountain road and rouses the attentions of one of the inhabiting Grizzly population. Defiantly, one of the brothers, Wall Street hot-shot Sam, pulls out a gun and kills the curious creature.

Big mistake.

As the group head on into the woods, the bear's mate, a ferocious eight-foot-tall Grizzly, arrives on the scene and attacks. As they battle against the surprisingly cunning and intelligent beast, secrets between the brothers and their own mates begin to emerge. Trapped inside their van, fighting for their lives, the group must use their wits and every last drop of survival instinct they have to survive and escape a fierce showdown with the claws of death!

So damned new that it's still awaiting the necessary five votes for a rating on IMDb, Bear, the debut feature of director John Rebel and starring Katie Lowes (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), Mary Alexandra Stiefvater, Brendan Michael Coughlin (Days of Our Lives) and Patrick Scott Lewis (Zodiac). It arrives on UK DVD on 3rd May 2010 from Metrodome at the RRP of £15.99, but with no special features.

UPDATE: The release date has been postponed to 28th June 2010.
