Crocodile Vengeance

Is anyone making movies even trying?... Just wait until the first kill, and you will see that there's no way to go lower than that. Everything is bad, the direction, the acting, the actors (if that is what they are), and one of the worst CGI i've seen. I said is not even close to Lake Placid, but this doesn't even hold the charm of a Sharknado movie. Not even the guilty pleasure of watching someone you hate from the second you see it on screen, get killed in the next scene. This is an insult to everyone. Please, stop financing this pieces of garbage. Ok, i don't know what else to say...but it' required a minimum.

Well, I can't say that I had actually heard anything about this 2022 movie titled "Croc!" (aka "Crocodile Vengeance") from writer and director Paul W. Franklin, nor seen any trailer or as much as heard a single word. But the movie's cover seemed fairly interesting enough to actually make me want to give the movie a gander. However, I have to admit that I wasn't harboring any expectations, because a lot of these monstrous creature - or killer animals - features tends to be dubious movies at best.

Writer and director Paul W. Franklin managed to deliver a very, very generic creature feature with "Croc!", and even for a movie of this genre then "Croc!" was just bland and amazingly generic. Pretty simplistic storyline really, which worked out well enough, but the movie just felt shallow and sort of pointless really, as "Croc!" didn't offer anything that haven't already been seen and done in other crocodile-based movies.

The acting in "Croc!" was pretty wooden and rigid for the most parts, making the performances on the screen seem sluggish and sort of amateurish. And that wasn't exactly helping to promote "Croc!"

And writer and director Paul W. Franklin had a little bit too much focus on lewd sex scenes, which absolutely meant nothing to the storyline or script, nor helped promote the narrative in any manner. It just felt pointless and ridiculous, and it was something that was very unnecessary to include in the movie.

Now, with "Croc!" being a monstrous creature feature, then of course having believable crocodiles in the movie would be a must. Right? Right! Well, guess what? They didn't have believable crocodiles in the movie, not even believable CGI animated crocodiles. Nay. What they did have, however, was rather poorly animated CGI crocodiles that lacked anything to make them realistic or believable. The way they moved seemed so wrong, and it felt like certainly scenes of the crocodile opening its maw and flapping its tongue around was copied and pasted into the movie at various points throughout the 84 minutes that "Croc!" ran for.

Yeah, "Croc!" was not an impressive foray into the monstrous creature feature. It was a slow paced and sluggish movie which came without notice and will disappear into the mists of oblivion without notice.

My rating of "Croc!" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

I am so sorry, but this movie is just terrible. I mean the CGI is childish, at best, the acting is basic and let's talk about some of the useless scenes... I apologise for the categorisation but is seems like a awfully made horror soft-po*n movie! What the heck did I just watch?!

I normally tend to watch movie until the end even if they are not particularly good because sometimes they get slightly better and you are curious about how it ends, but with this one I just couldn't!

Overall, terrible movie! If you are curious, watch it, but if you have no time to waste DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! Not a horror movie, I bet that even students could do a better job than this!

I just watched 'CROC!', sort of. It was hard to turn off. I wanted to, but my curiosity to see how stupid this movie could get got the best of me. I knew I was in for a treat, when, in the first croc scene, it leapt (yes, leapt) on top of a man... belly first. I had to back it up and watch it again to make sure that's what happened.

This movie was so dumb, honest to God, it wouldn't have surprised me if they showed Crocs opening doors to get to people.

This movie tries SO hard to be serious, which is what makes it so funny.

I'd recommend not to watching, but I don't want to deprive you of a good belly laugh!

Not for Alligator (1980) or Lake Placid (1999) fans, this one falls in line with all the rest of the sub-par Jagged Edge Productions films. Their creature features are generally skip-it grade fare, and this one is no different. It's too bad really, that creature films were so much better 20-40 years ago. There's opportunity here for some campy exploitation but Jagged Edge still has not evolved to take advantage of these opportunities. For example, the wedding scene could have been a gory-fun ride of seeing folks in nice outfits getting chewed to shreds. Instead, we get a nearly invisible ninja croc that sneaks around to select targets, usually in areas that are wide open. A couple frames of croc beak, screaming, and a blood squirt or two coming from odd directions is disappointing. The final scene (what even was that, a roomba??) was a D-. Could and should be so much better.
