Movie Reviews of The Big Alligator River
Movie Review: What A Croc
Summary: 4 Stars
I've always like movies about creatures in the water be it Jaws, Leviathan or even Deep Rising. The idea of a big monster coming out of the water is a bit more acceptable than a creature from outer space. Big alligator/crocodile movies have always been a personal favorite of mine. After all, gators and crocs are the closest things we got to dinosaurs, and they're pretty damn scary. The second reviewer down gives the best play by play of this film. I'd have to recommend this movie more to Italian horror fans looking to check out everything there is rather than the average Lake Placid fan. Gore is minimal however as is skin. The gator looks rather phony(especially in underwater scenes when it attacks boats. It looks like a rubber bath toy being hurled at a toy boat), but that's all part of the fun. Silly looking phony alligators chomping down on folks are much more fun than cgi ones. There's really no reason why someone should like this film, but it has something I can't quite put my finger on that makes it a rather enjoyable 90 minutes. The ending's a hoot coz it brings to mind the scene in the Wizard of Oz when Dorothy kills the witch and the Winkies praise her("She's dead! You killed her! Hail to Dorothy! The Wicked Witch is dead!!"). Luckily I found this sucker for a good price(I even had the store hold it for me till next paycheck. I swear they snickered when I asked them to before they filed it away). I'd suggest buying it only if you're swimming in cash or find it decently priced. Hey, this is my 500th review!
