Leviathan

I thoroughly enjoyed Razortooth, The characters were genuine if a little stereotypical at times and although the computer generated monster looks out of place like in the TV sequel lake placid 2 this is by far a better film than that poor effort. The killings are very humorous and this has smatterings of blood all the way to keep the gorehunters happy. I expected an unwatchable C-movie and ended up glued to the screen til the end sometimes laughing sometimes just having great entertainment. This has all the signs of a cult classic if more people would just see it! Worth buying over many inferior B-movie horror films.

I wanted to watch "Razorteeth" by the Polonia brothers, since I watched "Bigfoot vs Zombies" earlier and decided to watch another one of their movies, I couldn't find it online but I found this similar film (both in concept and in name) and it looked interesting so I decided to see it. "Razortooth" its not very good at all.

By SOV monster movie standards its about as average as you could get in the genre, a giant monster its on the loose and kills people, that's about it, I wasn't expecting anything more. It has a few decent kills and the effects are terrible yet somewhat enjoyable for the kind of movie it is. I was actually kinda of surprised at the amount of gore and deaths in the movie, these movies are often disappointing in that aspect but "Razortooth" delivers the goods.

It tries to be comedic but falls flat (again, same thing happens in a lot of these movies), the characters are a bit likable, the editing its awful, its terribly written and directed but it could have been worse.

My family and I love bad horror films. We watch them every Saturday night. Tonight, we watched this "movie." Normally you can at least count on pretty girls in these flicks, but not here. Every woman in this movie is god awful ugly. The acting is terrible, the plot dumb, but the absolute best part is that every gun shown in the film is a bb or pellet gun. I thought I was going to die laughing when I first realized this and it made every scene with a gun just that much funnier. I often wonder if the people in these films know that they are making crap. I just can't imagine anybody gets excited about adding Razortooth to their resume. This movie pushed even our love of bad movies to the limit. It may just be one of the worst movies ever made.

The first half of this movie is bearable. Although, some inconsistent things happen like people walking around, terror in their eyes, too afraid to look backwards, while nobody at that point has a clue about the existence of the creature. Once they learn about its existence, it turns out that each an every character has an IQ of around 20. If you really, REALLY want to be killed, then you might do what these people do, provided you are lobotomized first.

And if that stupidity (and believe me, it is NOT fun to watch-- it is the only reason that I think this movie is not watchable and deserves the 4 out of 10 that I give it-- it's pure, 100% annoyance that ruins all fun completely) isn't enough; there are other large inconsistencies that are simply impossible, but that apparently the director wants us to take for granted. This eel can bite a man in half in one scene of the movie, and it comes through the waste-pipe of a shower-bath in the next. In one scene it lifts up grown men, throwing them in trees-- and the eel is described to be pure muscle by this professor dude-- while in the end our hero wrestles with the creature, in the water no less(!), and keeps it under control with his bare arms. Yeah right. What an insult. Pure waste of time.

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")
