Leviathan

After a rash of disappearances, a wildlife expert and the local sheriff team up with a group of residents to combat the gigantic, mutated eel running loose through the local swamplands before it eats the whole town.

This turned out to be quite the flawed if still slightly enjoyable creature feature. There's some rather enjoyable moments here, most of which comes from the fact that the creature is clearly out and rampaging around quite early so there's plenty of action scenes within this. From the opening attack on the search party in the swamps to the brief attack scenes around town as it attacks the locals to the rather cheesy finale where it seemingly keeps coming back despite several attempts to fully contain and kill it while the creature is chasing after them for even more action-packed sequences, so this one dos manage to contain some rather impressive and fun moments that allow for a pretty enjoyable pace here as these are spread liberally enough throughout the film to avoid any kind of prolonged boredom. Along with plenty of action is plenty of exciting kills here which are based on the creature's rather fun tactic of simply going for the kill every time out so it's ravenous behavior makes for a rather gory and blood-soaked time with plenty of limbs being gnawed off, bodies ripped apart, bites and much more here which make for a really good time. These are enough to hold it aloft over it's few minor flaws, most notably the utterly ridiculous and abysmal CGI rampant throughout here. Not only is this patently unimpressive and obvious in it's fake-ness, the fact that it also manages to employ other big giveaways to it's source is found throughout here including the creature randomly appearing out of nowhere simply because the attack calls for it, changing size and dimensions frequently and barely interacting with the outside world around it so there's never any doubt this pixelated, cheesy-looking beast is anything but realistic. Likewise, the other big flaw here is the obvious use of character-padding to max out a storyline that really shouldn't yield a movie this long so there's a lot of excess story lines drummed up simply to provide more characters for it to kill off which really shouldn't be so as they simply scream out in their attempt to pad out the running time. These are somewhat detrimental to this but not enough to really lower it.

My expectations for this movie were extremely low (which is why it achieved a 3 and not lower). It is a typical low budget "creature feature.". It is campy and stupid to the point of causing me to shake my head in wonder why am I watching this? The acting is atrocious. The characters are so over stereotyped to not be believable. The humor is childish and comes across forced. The CGI is downright awful. The other special effects are just as terrible. But, given the type of movie it is, it is in par with most of the low budget creature features. So, if you like bad acting, bad scripts and lousy CGI, this movie is for you. Otherwise, give it a solid pass it by.

We all agree on feeling as if our brains had been dipped in acid, sliced into little pieces and deep-fried. As if my soul had been raped by a thousand drunk chihuahuas. But mostly I'm speechless. This is the worst thing I have ever seen. It's hard to believe that someone could put so little effort into every aspect of his art. The most soulless and empty thing you could possibly imagine. The average Katy Perry song is ten times as clever and as believable. This film makes me want to rip off an actor's leg, urinate on it and feed it to his grandma. People in directing schools should be forced to watch it. The few that wouldn't die instantly would rise to be legends. This film is like watching a Sarah Palin speech while sober.

Two prisoners escape through the swamp land in Everglades and the search party is attacked by a giant mutant eel and is considered missing.

The Animal Control agent Delmar Coates (Doug Swander) is searching a missing dog with his ex-wife Sheriff Ruth Gainey-Coates (Kathleen LaGue) and he discovers the remains of the animal. Meanwhile members of a canoe club organize an expedition through the swamp.

When Sheriff Ruth organizes a manhunt to capture the criminals, Delmar informs that his former friend, Dr. Soren Abramson (Simon Page), who is chasing the eel with a group of college students, is the responsible for mutant species. Sheriff Ruth organizes two teams to hunt the prisoners and the eel.

"Razortooth" is a laughable B-movie, with a stupid screenplay full of holes. For example, a team of skilled police officers vanishes in the swamp and a group of rednecks are responsible for the search party. The experienced Delmar Coates hunts a dangerous mutant eel with a group of amateurs equipped with one crossbow to kill the giant creature. But the best is Delmar Coates wrestling with the agile and strong creature in the lake. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "A Face do Predador" ("The Face of the Predator")

Because it's pretty clear that Skiffy Channel employees are here trying to raise it's profile by writing smarmy reviews.

This movie has the same plot as nearly every other Skiffy Channel movie. (This was on the Skiffy Channel, right?) A mutated/alien/strange creature rendered by basement-nerd CGI gets loose in a rural community, starts picking off the locals one by one.

Somewhere, I hear Skiffy channel execs having a staff meeting. "Okay, we've done snakes to death. People are bored with snakes. What else do we got?"

"How about giant eels, sir?"

"Aren't those just like snakes?"

"Uh, no, they're fish."

"Well, don't they only live in the water?"

"We'll say they can go on dry land, too. Then have them pick off a collection of bad southern stereotypes, since it's the last accepted bigotry in America."

Bottom line, for all you aspiring writers. An interesting monster might be the hook, but you have to care about the characters. We get a lot of characters, nearly all of whom become eel chow, and you don't feel a bit of empathy for any of them.

Avoid this movie. I wish I had... watching bad movies so you don't have to.
