Bear (2011 film)

Bear is a 2011 American gay-themed erotic horror film written and directed by John Daly. The film stars Patrick Scott Lewis as John, a man who ventures into a remote forest for a weekend of solitude and encounters a large, hairy, muscular man named Bear (played by Misha Suvorov) who is living wild. The film explores themes of attraction, fear, survival, and primal instincts. Its plot revolves around the growing tension and eventual violent confrontation between John and Bear, blurring the lines between hunter and prey, and raising questions about what it means to be a "bear" both literally and within the context of gay subculture. The film received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its exploration of sexuality and primal urges, while others criticized its graphic violence and thin plot.
