I went into this because I like Devon Graye and thought the trailer looked interesting. I came away completely impressed.
It's nice to see that some writers can still put together small independent well written gems and Matthew Berkowitz has certainly created something that is not your average story. The movie is fascinating , well directed , and spins a tale that will pull you in.
None of this would work if it were poorly cast, but Merrin Dungey is fairly incredible in the lead, Devon is excellent, he always is, and even the smaller roles are perfectly cast. Everyone is completely believable in their role and it's so nice to see a real actress in the lead.
This is really a drama/thriller and should not be listed under horror. If you're expecting a horror movie you will be very disappointed. As a glimpse into the mind of some very interesting characters, with exceptional acting, well shot and intriguing , this is a must see for indie film buffs.

I have no idea why anyone would approach a movie about a large killer teddy bear as a serious horror film, when it's obvious the makers of Bearry approached this with a sense of humor.
There isn't much here to take seriously. The actors were certainly giving it their all, the movie is competently shot and well recorded, the suspense and gore are minimal. What shines here is the script. This movie is genuinely funny. I think the Sharknado films started this whole new wave of ridiculous plots and The Asylum films have certainly capitalized on this, but Bearry is a smaller production but every bit as entertaining.
Entertainment should be what a film is all about. While Bearry does have it's lulls, overall I enjoyed it, and laughed from beginning to end. The Teddy Bear itself is a hoot. It's worth watching once if you like silly LOL films and I'd even watch a sequel. It was the trailer that made me watch this and if you get a chuckle out of the trailer, you will enjoy this film.

Mosquito State is one more film that had the potential to be good and just ended up as a big bore, even annoying.
The cinematography and visual effects, along with sound effects are stunning . A proper brooding atmosphere is created ............and then nothing much happens.
Beau Knapp is a great actor, but why was he instructed to play this role as some variation of Quasimodo ? He is the worst part of the film and also the largest part of the film. As has become the new thing in film, he seems to have been told to do everything as slowly as possible. His performance here is career ending bad, almost a caricature.
I have no idea what this film was even about. Taking place during the financial and housing bubble of 2007, there isn't much about this that turns it into horror except the millions of CGI mosquitos and a not well done grotesque make-up job on Mr. Knapp.
If you hate bugs this may give you nightmare's, but there is nothing scary about the story, if it even had a story.
