PROPHECY

1979 US HMDB
September 14, 1979

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. Chief John Hawks insists the loggers are poisoning the water supply, and, though company man Isley denies it, the Vernes can't ignore the strangely mutated wildlife roaming the woods. Robert captures a bear cub for testing and soon finds himself the target of an angry mutant grizzly.

In a paper mill, located in the middle of an Indian reservation, production systems cause biological damage to the local wildlife and, consequently, also to the indigenous people who feed on it. Dr. Vern is sent to the site to monitor the situation and quickly realizes that the matter is much more serious than expected... A beast movie, for once, commendable and engaging, thanks mainly to the solid direction of expert John Frankenheimer. The classic horror situations of the genre give way to the dramatic aspects of the story and the ecological critique in a film closer to drama than to horror. Worth watching, but if you are looking for rivers of blood and horrible genetic mutations, this is not the film for you.

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 mutated 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.
