When the wild turns on you, instinct is all you’ve got. Sharks, chimps, gators, lions — and now bears step into the spotlight. Grizzly Night, the new survival thriller that clawed its way onto VOD on January 30th, 2026, brings that primal fear front and center. The film draws its inspiration from a chilling true story first told in Jack Olsen’s 1969 bestseller Night of the Grizzlies.

The heart of the movie beats with a real historical nightmare. As IMDB recounts, “On August 12th, 1967, in Montana’s Glacier National Park, the unthinkable happened: On the same night, nine miles apart, there were not one—but two—fatal grizzly bear attacks.” It’s the kind of event that reshapes how we think about the wilderness.

Directed by Burke Doeren and written by Katrina Mathewson and Katrina Bean, the film brings together a cast that blends horror pedigree with fresh energy. Scream queen Brec Bassinger leads the charge alongside Jack Griffo, Charles Esten, Oded Fehr, Josh Zuckerman, and Matt Lintz. With critics and audiences giving it solid marks, your co‑hosts dive in to see whether the movie lives up to its terrifying legacy.
