.........In the opening scene the girl walks up the jetty in shoes, close up on her face, she turns back, long shot again aaaaaaaand she's wearing flip flops. They even make a point of the flip flip being found in the water for God's sake! I swear, if there is any money in this stuff I've missed a trick. How bad a director do you have to be!?!? Lol.
A while ago there was a fake trailer, that set up a movie where a shark was in a swimming pool and everyone panicked because they didn't know what to do. It played finely and made great fun of many horror clichés, like people jumping into the pool, even though that was where the shark was and they still went in like lemmings on a suicide mission ... well you get the point.
Why do I mention it? Well even though it's a "crocodile" here (well the CGI is so bad, you almost wish Ed Wood made this with some rubber alligator! Would've been a lot funnier!) and a lake, the people here seem to be as "stupid" as the ones in the fake trailer. Unfortunately it is not played for laughs, but they try to make it serious and fail on a big scale. Add to that the predictability, the bad writing, directing and "acting" and you have something that either can make a good party/drink film or you should just stay away from as far as possible. You kinda feel sorry for Alligators and Zoe Bell.

Overall, the movie should've been bitten by the alligator.
I'm a Zoe Bell fan but this was not her best outing. Campy almost funny effect to the movie.
Joe Lando's acting and the twist ending did help salvage some of the movie.
Still, best actor in the movie goes to the alligator.

Why do these movies persist in filling their craptacular creature features with terrible stereotypes and irritating characters?
I swear, the arrogant "gator expert" was specifically designed to annoy everyone she came in contact with (including the audience!).
Sour-faced tart Melody who flirts with peoples boyfriends ...? not even sure why she went along to this so-called party, since she was apparently the small town back-brace wearing outcast and is still bitter about it.
Deputy Doofy.... ugh. Just stop talking. Stop.
Richie Rich (Travis) ... don't even get me started. These airheads... err, people... are supposed to be in their early 20s, but he looks well into his mid-40s.
Stilted poorly delivered dialogue... poorly edited .. god-awful sound design and terrible music...
Not so bad it's good - just bad.
