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.

This movie felt like a torture device more than anything. Before the opening credits roll, we are greeted by some very unlikable horribly acted out characters that we know nothing about, nor care about. Anyway, that opener just sets the tone for the rest of it; it gets no better. What you see in the first 30 seconds is what the rest of it is like. Nothing changes, just more random people enter the badly written scenes, act them out horribly and die by a stealth 50ft alligator that always ends up getting punched in the face, literally. They should have called this movie gator boxing. At least that would have been an original something in it!!
Acting is D tier at best (and im very generous here), dialogue lines written by equally apt people, CIG is 90s level, reality and logic just do not exist not that those would have helped much at this point. The movie is an amalgamation of everything somebody saw over their lifetime. HARD RAIN, LAKE PLACID, SHARKNADO, DEEP BLUE SEA, and so many others.
Not an original thought was put behind anything on screen, there is no production value either. Camera work is acceptable but every angle and scene cut is generic as it gets - it has no style of its own. I was trying to find something good about it and i failed. At the end it begs the question, why was this made? There are stupid movies that are entertaining (COCAINE BEAR), but this is dull and annoying with nothing going for it. Frankly if the acting was just an inch above the deepest pit of bland and forced, it might have been watchable. But you just cannot stomach these people on screen for that long.
Just skip it. 2/10 because i was totally rooting for the gator every time he came out of nowhere right between 20 of them and ate one of them up before escaping using its teleportation device!

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'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.
This has got to be the worst alligator based horror film ever made.
You can tell it was one of those one-line high concept pitches that Netflix is infamous for.
With the concept being something along the lines of Con Air meets Lake Placid, only, in a prison, instead of an airplane (or, alternatively...like Snakes On A Plane...only with alligators in a jail).
Because an airplane was clearly not in the budget.
The entire concept is idiotic.
A group of prisoners are being transported during a hurricane, near New Orleans, where they get re-routed to a local jail. There, a plan is hatched to break out one of the inmates...however, both operations get interrupted by an infestation of insatiably murderous alligators, who have been washed into the prison as a result of flooding from the hurricane.
But how exactly they have managed to infiltrate the jail, never really makes sense.
So, the fact that the gators are rendered with some of the worst CGI since Birdemic...alongside the awful acting...moronic script...and idiotic plot.
Give this film the three strikes it needs to be relegated to the dustbin of internet streaming service history.
Because it is absolute trash.
It's only redeeming quality is that the white trash Nazi character gets his comeuppance.
But that sure isn't enough to save it.
Steer well clear of this one...because it's not the backed up sewage that is stinking up the room here.
1.5 out of 10.
