    Truly terrible.

    Ok, there are other reviews here that all say the exact same thing: it's not a bad movie that you should avoid, it is truly an annoying way of spending your time.

    So, let's do this without spoiling anything: we all know that there are alligators in this one, but did you know the CGI used is the same one that brought Godzilla 1998? And not only that, but they used the exact same tactic, they shot the movie in the dark, they put some CGI rain, I'm not kidding, it is CGI rain, hoping that the reptiles will look slightly better. But they do not.

    Also, after taking inspiration from Godzilla, they went even further back in time and picked Terminator 1984. It was decided that the gators can not be killed by conventional weapons, but, today's conventional weapons not those from 1984.

    A little Assault on Precinct 13 1976 and there you have it, they got a movie for you. Truly, truly bad in all ways.

    I gave it two stars because the star power here is not negligible.

    Anyway here is a little piece of information that will save you a lot of time. After the first gator attack, where you will see nothing more than bad CGI and a roll over performed with fast forward which makes it look even more ridiculous, you will know that what awaits you is nothing but regret.

    Cheers!

    Worst movie ever made

    I'm sorry I wasted my time watching this garbage. Seriously whats wrong with the actors participating in this crap. This movie can not be in the right direction of a great career. And what kind of fools spends money producing this garbage! This is absolutely the worst of the worst movies I have ever seen - and I liked the Sharnadomovies. This is dumber, horrible acting and very, very bad CGI. My 4 year old could have made those gators look more reel. I seriously hope this movie is the end of every participants career. It a complete waste of time. Nicky Whelan might be hot. But it's not worth looking at her in the future.

    A short warning

    The only thing missing in this movie is Steven Seagal. You have been warned.

    Long version: Stereotype bonanza.

    Very, very bad CGI.

    Abysmally bad acting.

    Botoxed sheriff.

    Dialog written and reviewed by simians.

    Nonsensical animal (and human) behavior.

    Cheapest location possible.

    Made for the Great! Action Movies channel.

    All the ingredients are present to make a timeless classic out of this "movie". All but one, Steven Seagal.

    Hopefully The Flood 2 will include Steven in its stellar cast.

    P. S.

    Any reference or similarities to Crawl are there only to make potential viewers think it could be comparable or similar. It is not.

    I was praying for alligator death watching this

    I was genuinely looking forward to this being a big fan of B movies, low budget horror and creature features. Adding the brilliant Casper Van Dien and Louis Manydlor to the mix this seemed to be a good mixture but..... The acting was bad as you will ever see

    The effects were horrendous

    The dialogue was atrocious

    The casting was terrible

    The Alligators were the worst I've ever seen

    This was painful to watch especially during periods of dialogue between the actors.

    I have no idea what the makers of this were thinking.

    I rarely give any movie a review and score like this but honestly I couldn't see a single thing in this movie that deserved any credit.

    Whatever you do make sure you don't pay to watch this.

    Essentially just a generic 'with the flood comes the gators' type of movie...

    Stumbling upon this 2023 thriller titled "The Flood" by random chance here in 2023, and seeing that it was an aligator-based movie with Casper Van Dien, I must admit that I was somewhat intrigued. And thus, I opted to sit down and watch what writers Chad Law and Josh Ridgway had to offer.

    Not a whole lot, as it turned out. Nay, "The Flood" turned out to be very bland and run-of-the-mill type of movie with aligators becoming a threat to people during a flood. It has all been done and seen before, so you're not in for anything grand or innovative here. And the movie just never really got up into a proper gear, making it a rather monotonous movie to sit through.

    The character gallery in "The Flood" was pretty generic, and you could essentially pluck the characters out of those movie and replace them into any other movie of this type and still end up with the same result. Yeah, the writing for this movie was pretty lazy.

    The cast ensemble in "The Flood" was actually fairly okay, with the likes of Casper Van Dien, Louis Mandylor, Nicky Whelan and Kim DeLonghi on the cast list, among others. The acting performances in the movie were as you would expect for a movie such as this, and the actors and actresses weren't really given much contents to work with from the script.

    Visually, then I have to admit that I am a bit surprised that movies with this type of fake-looking CGI rendered and animated aligators still see the light of day in 2023. Sure, it wasn't the worst of CGI I have seen, but it was fairly amateurish. And truth be told, a movie such as this can't afford to have questionable CGI, because it just takes away so muchly needed focus from the movie.

    Watchable for what it was, "The Flood" is not a movie that is going to wash you away by any means. In fact, the movie came and went without leaving any lasting impression, and the aligators packed almost no bite. If you manage to sit through the 93 minutes one time, chances are high that you will never do so again. I know that I am not returning to watch director Brandon Slagle's 2023 movie "The Flood" a second time.

    My rating of "The Flood" lands on a four out of ten stars.

      As the prisoners are being transferred from the bus to the jail it is daylight, but for the 'jailbreak' team watching from their cars across the street, it is nighttime.
