Cocaine Bear, a film that sounds like it was dreamed up between bong hits, arrives in theaters today. Like Eight Legged Freaks, Snakes on a Plane, and Sharknado before it, the premise fits squarely into the “animals behaving badly” subgenre of elevator-pitch movies. Based on the title and the tagline—“Apex predator, high on cocaine, out of its mind”—you know what you’re getting when you buy a ticket. And who wouldn’t want to see a bear on a drug-fueled rampage? It’s an easy sell.
