Repligator

This film is a great farce, professionally done and worth seeing.

A rather lower budget sci- fi film about scientists conducting experiments on patients regarding genetics for their own goods. As expected these experiments go wrong as the men are being transformed into women then once get turned on somehow their heads get morphed into alligators.

The acting isn't anything great as this isn't a film to be taken serious. The dialogue is quite cheesy and subpar. Nothing is exactly funny or unintentionally funny but seeing the low budget special effects is something.

With its flaws, there is a sense of entertainment and the film isn't exactly predictable. There is more skin shown than necessary as it scattered throughout in glimpses. Simply a film to pass time but credit should be given for its originality.

As the title suggests this 1996 movie was very much ahead of its time.

Look if you're looking for spectacular graphics and beautiful scenery then go watch Oppenheimer. This movie is like a teenage boys fever dream. It's weird, it makes no sense and it has boobs in it.

I laughed within the first 30 seconds of the film and it wasn't a snort of derision, it was a real laugh. It's obvious to me, but apparently lost on the other reviewers to this film, that the whole thing was made for fun and stupidity.

It probably cost next to nothing to make and it looks like the actors are having a laugh. So don't be an idiot, don't judge this as if it was high art because it so obviously isn't.

Lastly this is for all the naysayers out there, cough, nogodnomasters, paul haakenson. Apparently have not seen this hidden gem yet. But one thing I do know, they will "stumble" upon this gem and give their "expert" opinions. Just remember I was here first. I am waiting gents. Until then- I won!

I have challenged my masochistic urge to sit through the worst of moviedom's offerings. What does not kill you makes you stronger, right? Wrong. I'm now convinced it makes you stupider for having gone through it in the first place. I love movies. I love b-movies. I even love bad movies and making my friends sit very uncomfortably through them. But after watching 'Repligator' I've come to the unpleasant conclusion that apparently I don't love myself at all. 'Repligator' is beyond terrible and there is no thesaurus big enough to list the many ways in which 'Repligator' is awful, terrible, bad ...

Filmed with extreme cheapness (was this project a tax write-off? was it some kind of scam to con government film-funding and other private investors?) and a level of professionalism well-suited to semi-evolved chimpanzees, 'Repligator' fails in every possible category of film. Name one and it fails. The music is distractingly awful and completely out of place. The writing is awful. The acting is beyond cheesy. Or maybe it is just so ... minimalist in its approach that IT DOESN'T EXIST. Direction, editing, camera work, special effects -- nothing works in this film and the whole thing seems like an exercise in how to make stupid people (me for watching) pay for their stupidity (me for watching) with the most pain (me by watching). Even if you're a fan of gratuitous nudity (and there is plenty) it isn't worth it.

There are no redeeming qualities, save for one: 'Repligator' is clear proof that no matter how low-budget, no matter how bad your film can be, there IS a sucker born every minute. Many of those suckers have money. Find them, milk them for everything you can, and you too can make a movie.

All in all not bad. It has a few clasdic things in it. The best being an Oldsmobile Delta 88. I would think most schlock fabs get the send up or trope. 449 more to go...good editing and continuity. The cast again like some other shlock fest movies gave a good performance and not a walk through. I do not need to list any of those movies...you know it when you see it. So I think its worth a trundle through...you can always fast forward... It is a good movie for a movie making class to watch. It was done well and not over the top. Sometimes movies go in for the shock or sleeze but thus one gets it about as...end if 600 charactres.
