Crocodylus

Good old fun mixed in with a creepy story line combine to create a campy horror story set in the beautiful surroundings of a sleepy Florida town . I enjoyed it ! Some interesting characters emerge from the local town and from the lake !!! Catch this one if you can , definitely looking forward to a sequel .

I love schlocky, dumb horror flicks. This one is a great nod to all the campy, b rate genre of the 50's and 60's. The film isn't trying to appear high budget. It isn't trying for awards. What it does strive towards is an entertaining, tongue in cheek monster movie that is making fun of itself and the genre. I enjoyed myself immensely.

This is not a good movie in the traditional sense. Production quality is comparable to a group of high schoolers doing a class project. The actors appear to have been randomly selected from the families and friends of the people involved in the project. Special effects consist of implying someone is about to be killed, then cutting to blood being splashed on a wall. But where it lacks in quality, it makes up for in campy goodness, intentional or not. If that's your thing, you'll like this movie. Or you won't. Hard to say.

My grade school nephew made a better film for a class project. 4.5 stars!? hell no! guy get told his son was ate, his reaction is to calmly say go find him!? I tried to give this movie and I use the term movie very loosely a chance.. but no.. just no...the rolling end credits are better this crap.

First some praise, most of the effects are practical and the gore (body parts in particular) are decent especially for such a low budget film. Also it's only 70 mins, so like ripping off a very sticky and painfully stubborn bandage. Now, for the negatives, story was bland, acting was abhorrent, dialogue was somehow both boring and confusing, characters were two-dimensional if any dimension and the monster is just a gator-boy. Like 'Jaws' (a bit too much like, even referencing it) the main driving point is the interactions and struggles the characters face with each other rather than the monster itself. In order to do that you need believable and interesting characters and dialogue which this film has neither. Every conversation is hurried, with little pause in-between one another's sentences, leaving little time for the audience to process what was just said, as if it actually matters. The dialogue is either exposition or really poor attempts to add flavor to a character, and is delivered with the enthusiasm as an oak tree. I can probably prattle on about how bad the monster is, or how conveniently lazy the story is at progress its plot but I won't. This movie already took up enough of my time. A so bad it's boring kind of film.
