DARK AGE (1987) is a little-known Aussie 'killer crocodile' movie that plays as more of a straight adventure flick than a pure horror, although there are a handful of mildly gory kills along the way. In many ways this is similar to JAWS, with sporadic kills leading to various bounty hunters turning up to claim a cash prize while the disbelieving officials look on. There's some vehicular action a la MAD MAX, a chance to see John Jarratt (WOLF CREEK) playing the hero for a change, Aussie favourite David Gulpilil as an Aboriginal hunter and even Alf from HOME AND AWAY pops up in support! A little slow at times (a romantic sub-plot adds nothing), but fun overall.
