Cocaine Bear (2023) is an R-rated horror-comedy directed by Elizabeth Banks and written by Jimmy Warden.

Released February 24, 2023, the film reinvents a bizarre real incident from 1985 into a gore-laced, high-concept thriller that pits a drug-addled bear against a cast of desperate forest-goers—tourists, criminals, and law enforcers alike.

With over $90 million earned on a modest budget, featuring one of Ray Liotta’s final roles, and blending black humor with extreme violence, Cocaine Bear is the kind of outrageous cinematic experiment that’s as fun as it sounds—and then some.
