Featured review
In THE GREAT ALIGATOR, Joshua (Mel Ferrer) is the owner of a tropical island resort, which he runs with help from his assistant, Alice (Barbara Bach). Among the fun activities offered is the tossing of squealing piglets into the water to entice the local crocodiles.
In order to create this beautiful island oasis, the surrounding ecosystem was destroyed, upsetting the natives to no end. They fear that the gods have been angered. Soon enough, the reptilian horror of the title arises to avenge the disrespected deities.
CHOMP!
While several deaths occur, the lengthy interludes between croc attacks are dull enough to cause cranial blistering. The fact that disco dancing plays an integral part in this movie does bring a few chuckles, especially the floating disco dance floor! A boogie buffet! Now, that's a brilliant idea!
CHOMP! CHOMP! CHOMP!
Don't miss the mindless, JAWS-like non-finale! Now, that's comedy!...
