Inspired by the 1985 true story of a drug runner's plane crash, missing cocaine, and the black bear that ate it, this wild thriller finds an oddball group of cops, criminals, tourists and teens converging in a Georgia forest where a 500-pound apex predator has ingested a staggering amount of cocaine and gone on a co*ke-fueled rampage for more blow... and blood.

Cocaine Bear

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite Cocaine Bear's half-baked plot and uneven acting, the titular fur fiend's scene-snorting frenzy will give B-movie enthusiasts a contact high.

Audience Consensus

Cocaine Bear does pretty much exactly what it sets out to do, and if you're in the mood for some silly horror-comedy, that'll be more than enough to satisfy.

Kenneth R This movie had no business being this funny! I enjoyed every minute! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review Jo & Co Cocaine Bear was dreadful in every single department. Jo and I are avid cinema goers. We are both OLD! Our ages range from 79 - 88. I cannot remember such a terrible movie. the acting started out bad and, even though we thought it was impossible - it got worse.It was hailed as a horror/comedy. Neither was evident. "It is loosely inspired by the true story of the "Cocaine Bear", an American black bear that ingested nearly 75 lb (34 kg) of lost cocaine" - Wikipedia.Sadly, even Ray Lotta - an actor I have loves, especially playing villains, was bad. Even worse this movie was dedicated to him as he died soon after the movie was made. He also died (acted) in this awful movie.I am amazed that on Rotten Tomatoes 67% of 299 critics' reviews are positive!! They had to have been watching a different version. The only thing I can agree with is at the 2023 MTV Movie & TV Awards, Cocaine Bear was nominated for Best Villain (the bear)!Both of us were hoping the bear would devour every single actor in this movie - way before the hour and a half of the scheduled running time of the movie. He very nearly did! Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/05/23 Full Review ARo An entertaining movie with equal parts gore and giggles. I'd watch it again. "Based on a true story" is a bit of a stretch, but I guess that's artistic license. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/23 Full Review Jennie C One of the best dumbest movies yet! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/29/23 Full Review Hector Interesting plot , different - not what I was expecting - but still good 😊👍 Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/25/23 Full Review Geraldine E G was great movie some comedy was like the story line and made me jump out of my seat a couple of times Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
