Mid-July is going to be a good time for DVD and Blu-ray releases featuring people getting eaten alive. Dinocroc and Supergator take time out between rounds to devour anyone in their path. Native American lycan legends go on the prowl in Maneater and Monster Wolf. Most importantly, the Australian Open Water-ish shark thriller The Reef finally surfaces on American shores.
The people chomping begins on July 12th when Anchor Bay releases the Roger Corman produced, Jim Wynorski directed, Syfy original creature feature Dinocroc vs. Supergator (review here). The late David Carradine makes one of his final appearances in this monstrous smackdown that sees genetically engineered reptilian rivals escaping their confines and chomping their way through a series of scientists, tourists, and bikini babes in Hawaii. The actors chew the scenery almost as much as the monsters.

Michael Emanuel ("ER") has teamed up with "Guilty or Innocent?" scribe John K. Anderson to tackle an old Native American legend we don't see too much of in films today, the Wendigo!
According to THR, Mr. Emanuel will also be making this project, titled Maneater, his first directorial effort in conjunction with Canal Street Films. Maneater follows the path of a former FBI profiler who is making ends meet as a sheriff in a small town. While investigating a rash of murders, the lawman uncovers that the very thing committing these atrocities may in fact be himself!
Michael Emanuel explained his influence for the film's subject, which came about some 30+ years ago, "It's a story that was told to me by an old Native American back in the late '70s. It's based on the Western Ojibwa (Chippewa) legend of the Wendigo."
