Grizzly Rage (2007)

Four friends cut the padlock to a wooded access road, go four wheeling in their jeep and accidentally run over a bear cub. They search for water for the radiator as it was damaged when the jeep went into the woods. They also discover there is a mother bear who is pissed.

The kids flee in the jeep as the mamma bear shakes the trees with it's massive roar and vows to follow them to the ends of the earth to make them pay for what they've done. A bear chasing stupid kids in a jeep hoping to kill them? Could be tension filled, but sadly it is super boring as the movie consists of the kids making stupid decisions and contemplating whether the bear will destroy them or not.

When they accidentally drive off another road, the guy with the bandana decides to run back toward the bear to get help. He figures they know how far they've come, but don't know how far they would have to go to forward find civilization. Yes, but there is a giant bear following you. Rule to live by - never head toward a large furry creature who wants you dead.

After running for a while, bandana dude stumbles across a dilapidated shack, starts knocking and shouting, "Hello?" After getting no response, he uses a tire iron (which he brought to defend himself against the bear), and breaks the padlock on the outside of the door. Yes, you read that right, he was knocking and shouting for help at a shack which was padlocked from the outside! Please mighty grizzley, could you just kill him now? Thank you, amen.
