Summary: Campy Classic!
Review: DETAILS.
This 80's creature feature was better than I was expecting. Think of it as a much, much campier remake of Steven Speilburg's JAWS. The death scenes are just about as gory (only with more people dying in the same area, which is probably why it is rated R. Unlike JAWS, which was rated PG and it has mild nudity and brief sexuallity) and the picture is a bit darker. And just like JAWS, it does take a little while to get interesting, but you'll come to like it in time. The crocodile looked INCREDIBLEY REAL in most of the attack scenes, too. Alright, I admit that looked like something from Barney the Dinosaur's playground or something in some parts (like the part where it attacks a cattle, or when it jumps over a boat). It looks and moves just like a REAL, LIVE croc when it is swimming or walking around on land! And the actors are funny. Overall: 3 and a half stars for CROCODILE!!

PLOT.
A family vacation turns into a family tragedy when 3 of their loved ones become a lite snack for an unknown water creature, which Dr. Akom later determines to be a GIANT MUTANT CROCODILE! He and a crew of sailors now must track down and destroy the huge reptile as vengence for his now broken family.

Summary: Campy Fun!
Review: Giant rubber croc gorges on bikini-clad women. Yep. They just don't make 'em like this anymore! Grade-B campy funfest! Unfortunately the DVD picture quality is no better than the VHS. But if you are a collector of the Grade B flicks, this is a must have!

Summary: WARNING : DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE
Review: If Amazon.com had a 0-5 rating this movie would definitly be a 0. It is the worst movie I have ever seen. Nat Puvanai and the whole cast can't act and the director can't direct at all. The special effects SUCK, the acting SUCKS, the directing SUCKS. IT ALL SUCKS. I reccommend instead of this movie Alligator. Alligator is a terrific creature feature with grrrrrrreat special effects!

Summary: Plastic Croc Attack!
Review: Note: This is a movie review because the DVD is a basic DVD. Impressive, No. Nice because I don't have to rewind and because the quality of my VHS is lacking, yes.)

Despite the previously sited objections to this movie's stature (reviewed as a VHS tape), I would have to say that its not a 1 star movie, but is instead a middle ground film with elements that entertain and flaws that do sometimes hurt its delivery. It has a horribly plastic looking crocodile (stiff movements, kills that leave you with a lackluster feeling, not to mention the hissing sound it makes) feeding on sometimes plastic seeming actor/esses while floating through an atypical plot (we decided to party, floated down river in our houseboat and got drunk, then were sent off-course by a killing that screwed up our mooring and are now being picked off, one by one, by something horrid). Still, I expected something like this when I first saw it and was duly entertained because of that.

Lately, this has become one of my late night favorites, entertaining me with humor that capitalizes off of the same type of cheesy reptilian humor as Alligator, Alligator 2, and, to some degree, Lake Placid. I personally enjoy the rural flavor some of the "crocodile experts" add, calling the beast Flat Dog and saying the darnedest things, plus I like watching the foolish moves that lead down the roads to certain demise. There are other characters on the menu that add some spice as well, from the disposable sheriff to a rarer gem, a deliciously white poodle. Combine these facets with the entertaining plastic/cgi beast's movements and the explanation of where it came from, and you can see how it would be a nighttime classic.

To the "serious" movie pallet, I would say move on. To people who like to have fun with their movies and can take budget constraints in stride, I would say go for it. It does have some portions that are very enjoyable and a drove of people to make boots for the Crocodile out of, so, if you're bored, its a funny way to pass some time. Besides, you never know when being prepared for an aquatically inclined plastic predator assault will come in handy.

Summary: One of the best campy horror flicks around!
Review: Our family stumbled on this movie on television one rainy day at the beach in June, and we were completely captivated from the beginning. Why? Because this is one of the silliest, most cliche-ridden Grade B horror flicks we've ever seen.

It's got it all -promiscuous teenagers (and guess what happens to *them*), hapless law enforcement officials, a reasonably large body of water (metaphor alert), a cute little defenseless dog, and one big mothah of a -you guessed it - Crocodile who is pretty mechanical but who energetically plays her part, both in the water and in the most unlikely landlocked places. (I won't tell.)

My favorite characters were the local crocodile hunters (they made the locals in Deliverance look like Harvard grads). The elder of the two spat most creatively every time he spoke and after about two minutes of creative spitting the assembled viewing audience was howling with laughter with each new release of spittle.

I loved the ending, which was a fitting finale to the man vs. nature theme. Campy as the resolution was, it worked for me!

Summary: The worst crocodile movie ever
Review: Take my advice, do not watch this movie!!!!!!!!! It is dubbed, pretty poorly I might add, the death scenes suck, the gore effects are just plain bad. Maybe if they had better people to film it, better directors, and at least a decent looking crocodile, the movie may have been better. The story to it was not bad, the act of putting it together on film is what sucked. I am beating myself up for buying it(I did not pay much!!!!) If you want to see a decent crocodile or alligator movie, see either the original alligator or Blood Surf. Much better then this one.

Summary: Crocodile
Review: This movie offers nothing but a cheap killing crocodile. The effects are awful. When the plastic looking crocodile eats the deer it looks completely fake. The croc is always attacking villages and every scene has people [throwing up] up blood. The characters are awful and the writing is terrible. The plot is about a giant crocodile ( your told its big, even though you never see its whole body ) who starts killing people. Know a scientiste and some other guy must go on a boat and kill it. ...It is enjoyable at times though. If you like these kinds of movies than this is for you.
