Nonsensical. Terrible Acting. Good for some laughs.
bhcesl27 September 2019
This is not a good movie in the traditional sense. Production quality is comparable to a group of high schoolers doing a class project. The actors appear to have been randomly selected from the families and friends of the people involved in the project. Special effects consist of implying someone is about to be killed, then cutting to blood being splashed on a wall. But where it lacks in quality, it makes up for in campy goodness, intentional or not. If that's your thing, you'll like this movie. Or you won't. Hard to say.

Thank you all for your reviews

Hi Guys, thank you all for your reviews. I truly appreciate them all, good and bad. It will certainly helps me with my future productions. Yes, It is a low budget film with some slapstick gore and humor thrown in the mix, but we had a ton of fun filming. I re-edited Crocodylus, Directors Cut that is now available on Amazon Prime. Thank you again Namaste

It's like 'Birdemic' with better effects but no charm.
featurecreatureshow14 June 2020
First some praise, most of the effects are practical and the gore (body parts in particular) are decent especially for such a low budget film. Also it's only 70 mins, so like ripping off a very sticky and painfully stubborn bandage. Now, for the negatives, story was bland, acting was abhorrent, dialogue was somehow both boring and confusing, characters were two-dimensional if any dimension and the monster is just a gator-boy. Like 'Jaws' (a bit too much like, even referencing it) the main driving point is the interactions and struggles the characters face with each other rather than the monster itself. In order to do that you need believable and interesting characters and dialogue which this film has neither. Every conversation is hurried, with little pause in-between one another's sentences, leaving little time for the audience to process what was just said, as if it actually matters. The dialogue is either exposition or really poor attempts to add flavor to a character, and is delivered with the enthusiasm as an oak tree. I can probably prattle on about how bad the monster is, or how conveniently lazy the story is at progress its plot but I won't. This movie already took up enough of my time. A so bad it's boring kind of film.

Oh please let me leave a zero star rating!!!!
ejmc1118 August 2019
No spoilers here... just let the movie spoil on its own. Absolutely horrible movie! Bad script, bad acting, bad effects, ...just an all around BAD movie! I can't even tell you where it went bad, because it started out that way and just got worse! I am hoping that I can leave a zero star rating so that the actual one star movies are able to distinguish themselves from crap like this. How anyone could give this movie more than one star (and there would need to be a close relative in it before I did) is so far beyond possible for a viewer that was conscious that it would be like using a goldfish to flim a Meg sequel. Good premiss... but it thoroughly missed the mark. It isn't even good enough to say that it was so bad it was funny. This movie is a trajic waste of money, film, and time. Avoid it at all cost.

Good campy fun
woodsmit3 March 2022
The director achieved his goal in making an enjoyable horror flick with no nudity and very little destruction of property. Not an easy task. 13 year olds are going to love it.

It's like it was directed by aliens!
Yeck! Wow this was quite astonishingly terrible all around, it achieved a level of movie ineptitude I didn't think was possible for a killer 'gator' movie. It was just laughable, with the exception of Antoni Corone who at the very least seemed to get what a colossal pile of s**t he was in and was having a laugh with it, every single performance was stilted and horribly awkward, it was stiff and really weird, like it was directed by a foreign person directing English speaking actors, like in Troll 2, except that movie is bizarrely lovable and hilarious because the actors actually raised their voices above a robotic monotone and were animated enough, but this isn't a good bad movie that's trying, it's just nothing but boring and aggravating in its by the numbers horribly cliched plot, which rips off Jaws big time, and it doesn't help that they indirectly point out the comparison themselves! Oh and when they barely half-showed the monster it looked like a cheap Halloween costume they rushed together. Sigh, one of the absolute worst movies that anyone is ever likely to stumble across, and an insult to the killer croc genre, because it isn't actually one but presents itself as such on the cover, so it doesn't even have that. Pitiful! No bite no effort whatsoever and no love from this viewer, I really wouldn't recommend unless you're looking to increase your boredom of the day. Flush this gator!!

Good campy horror fun .
soldierblue686 December 2017
Good old fun mixed in with a creepy story line combine to create a campy horror story set in the beautiful surroundings of a sleepy Florida town . I enjoyed it ! Some interesting characters emerge from the local town and from the lake !!! Catch this one if you can , definitely looking forward to a sequel .

Truly enjoy this style of film making, it's campy and the film angles and obvious fake gore are enjoyable in a very retro way. It reminds me of the hours I would spend in front of the tv, just to be entertained. Not looking for a drama filled, technically correct film - I was just looking to be entertained and this hits the mark. Looking forward to future films from this creator and his unique film style including the awesome sexually suggestive slow motion scenes, which are very well done bikini ๐Ÿ‘™.

Great B rate fun
icuc-156756 October 2019
I love schlocky, dumb horror flicks. This one is a great nod to all the campy, b rate genre of the 50's and 60's. The film isn't trying to appear high budget. It isn't trying for awards. What it does strive towards is an entertaining, tongue in cheek monster movie that is making fun of itself and the genre. I enjoyed myself immensely.
