A man-eating Bengal tiger escapes from a carnival and hides in the mountains.
As the death toll rises, Gary Busey, a legendary hunter and an isolated mountain boy join forces to catch it before it kills again.
This TV movie would be nothing to write home about if it was not for Busey.
Here, he is at his most restraint as a small time Sheriff who has to struggle with a man eater, and the local mayor, who does not want to cancel a traditional festival which is held every year.
Sounds familiar? Of course it does, it's riffing on Jaws....... Paws if you would.
Other than that, it's a totally perfunctory creature feature that has very shoddy special effects, and predictable kills, which just make it all the more endearing.
But even when he is in cruise control, Busey still seems a little bit, you know, not the full ticket, and this is why the film elevates whenever he is on screen, which is thankfully, the majority of the time.
I suppose most will hate this film, but there are fans of really silly creature features starring someone who will do any movie.
Just ask Gary.....
