Repligator

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.

This film is an inspiration to young movie makers.

This film is a terrible waste of tape but not a waste of time.

If you are a young filmmaker and you're feeling down on your luck when it comes to getting something put together... then see if you can get your hands on this movie.

It's obvious that these movie makers somehow found enough money to make alligator costumes and various special effects (although very cheesy). It was shot on film & transferred to an AVID NLE system (composer). They had money. Not Hollywood money, but the equipment they used does not come cheap… I'd guess about 10-20 thousand dollars… beginning to end.

It's a simple story, with terrible acting! I get a sense that this story was written overnight by somebody with ADD and an overactive imagination… on a post-it note. Who gave these people money to make this wretched thing? I don't want to be too critical of it. Every now and then, I like to see a film like this to remind myself that there are worse things out there being made all the time! :-) My GOD... listen to the music!! It sounds like it was written and recorded by my grandmother! Oh my gosh... people actually put their names on this production?! What an embarrassment... this is not portfolio material.

I tried to find the production company responsible for this, but it appears that they may no longer be around… gee, I wonder why.

I say, if you can find it at your local rental store for less than 99c CAN, then check it out. Be warned, it is a bad movie.

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 am watching this as I write. I am a great fan of B-grade sci-fi movies. If you are not like me, avoid this like the plague.

The acting is not quite as bad as your average porno, and the nudity is gratuitous.

The question of having a load of military men transformed into nymphomaniac women that lust after their formerly co-gendered colleagues caused a bit of mental squeamishness.

And then there's that "From Dusk To Dawn"-esque plot twist at the halfway point: "She experienced a prehistoric orgasm that stretched her genetic code. Now we have Gator-Babe".

Pure genius.

Though it's always nice to see the likes of Gunnar Hansen and Brinke Stevens in movies, this godawfully unfunny sci-fi / sex "comedy" is nowhere near being endurable!

Granted, the idea of male-to-female-to-reptile transformation is intriguing. Alas, this movie makes it into a misery!

No, it's not the dollar store "special" effects, robotic "acting", or disastrous attempts at "humor" that make REPLIGATOR so reprehensible. All of these elements, handled correctly, could have resulted in a schlock masterwork.

Nope, it's the pluck-my-brain-out-with-ice tongs boredom factor that sinks this project! Not even the abundant nudity will keep the viewer's drooping eyelids from slamming shut!

Back away slowly...
