    Interesting enough to stay awake... but once was enough

    The plot was disjointed... and the story even jumped ahead a year without warning... had to figure it out yourself... strange because it was already not the most together plot.

    Why do B movies always have a scene where the couple fights like cats and dogs and then ends up with making love?? This one did it... but it was more like they felt the movie needed a nude scene and didn't quite know how to get there.

    I found it very interesting that the "monster" croc kept shifting from being a fresh water croc with a thin pointy snout... to a salt water croc with a wider deeper snout.

    Watch it if all there is on besides is reruns of Dallas

    It's got teeth!!

    The main reaction this film about a giant crocodile terrorising Australia elicited from me was "OMG, IT'S ALF FROM HOME AND AWAY!!". Aside from that, the strange thing about it is the highest level of suspense isn't the huge reptile stalking and killing it's human prey, but the final chase as some well-meaning conservationists try to drive it to a secluded breeding spot away from a gang of yahoo hunters who want to turn it into luggage. My sympathies lay with the 'monster' 100%.

    The film kind of washes over you in an unpretentious way... don't expect a frightfest along the lines of Jaws, and even the music is cheap 80's synch. But it's nice to see Aboriginal culture represented so positively and informatively on screen, with a couple of them even giving more than passable performances in starring roles. Could the next big superstar from Down Under come from there? Don't bet against it... 5/10

    An Australian 'JAWS'

    This film was made in Australia and is very hard to find in America, but it is worth watching at least once if you can find it. Basically, it's just an Australian 'JAWS', except that instead of a shark, it's a giant crocodile. The ending is also something to see, because they don't just blow away this magnificent creature as they have in other films of this nature. I won't give away the ending, but it is very interesting. I give it 7.5 out of 10.

    This movie is a solid one good reason why crocodile films r relevant for horror fans.

    A huge croc is killing people. Ranger Harris (John Jarrat) has been assigned to deal with the problem n at the same time some poachers r hell bent on killing the croc but Harris after being persuaded by the local Aborigines, wants to preserve the croc. Ther r some kills, one that of a small kid. Acting of Jarrat is good. Watch his facial expressions when he gets punched in the back. The film has scenes of nice locations, especially the billabong amid the barren desert. The giant croc is terrifying. I first saw this on a vhs in the early 90s. Revisited it recently.

    • Quotes

      Rex Garret: Now you give me one good reason why crocodiles should be protected. Just one!

      Steve Harris: One good reason? For 200 million years there's been a croc-like-animal... they were here at the time of the dinosaurs. For 200 million years! And we've taken them to the brink of extinction in 20.
