I live in Northern Maine. I've seen Black Bears. So far, they're more afraid of humans than we are of them. Fortunately, though, I have seen some stand seven feet tall, I haven't seen any the size of the bear in this movie. I'm not saying they're harmless. I still say stay far as away as possible! This movie is enough to scare anyone from wanting to hike through any forests. And if one should? Those signs, the bear paw print, the dead dear, should be more than enough to make one leave!? I didn't like the ending of this movie. It ends too abruptly.
