If you're reading this review, you've probably already seen Cocaine Bear. So for that reason, I'll change how I word my review.
Cocaine Bear is everything people would want for a film called what it is. There are many aspects I was scared a movie that wasn't taking itself very seriously would have (Dated memes, Pop Culture references, dumb cameos) but Cocaine Bear definitely leaves some method to it's eccentricity.
The film very much acts like a typical slasher film, where there's a body count and a monster taking out the half-baked characters one by one. And while there are definitely films that do this premises way better, Cocaine Bear handles the basic dread and tense moments decently well. Although there are moments where the film feels "Tame", there are also moments that took me by surprise in terms of shock.
None of the characters are very memorable, the story isn't anything special, but it's good popcorn fodder. Which is clearly what it aims to be.
