Clawed (2017)

A terribly annoying, overly giddy podcaster interviews a former Sheriff and acts like she’s doing hard hitting journalism, but just comes off as insensitive. The Sheriff continues to talk to her smug face and tells her listeners to stay away from Bear Claw Mountain.  

Everyone in town knows there’s evil up in the mountains so they stay away. But then some random person online said the water had healing qualities and people began flocking to it.  It’s a huge mistake since there’s a big clawed monster ripping people to shreds.

Meanwhile a research group doing a geological survey checks in with the Sheriff. They need his consent to collect some samples. The Sheriff warns them about bears in the area, but most of the team are college kids so they don’t take him seriously. It doesn’t help that their leader is a wise ass.  

It’s not that interesting and no one is likeable. The best part is the foley in the scene with the podcaster and sheriff.  He takes a massive gulp of coffee and then you hear a loud ADR gulp which is hilarious.

Overly happy podcaster talking about a tragedy

The bad wig

Toxic waste? No need to be cautious
