| When a dispute occurs between a logging operation and a nearby Native American tribe, Dr. Robert Verne and his wife, Maggie, are sent in to mediate.

Filmed in 1978 and shot in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada this horror film is a product of its times. Low budget and gory though director John Frankenheimer did delete some violent content. This is one of those weird "Eco horror". Nature strikes back essentially. Toxic chemicals create a mutate ... d bear type creature. The bear creature is defending her cub and does not take kindly to anyone who is a threat. There is a rumor that a real raccoon was abused on set. The poor thing was tied down and was in danger of being beaten to death. In the end a raccoon was thrown into a fire but it was a dummy thankfully. All in all with the exception of the rumored animal abuse this film was about what you would expect.
