What To Expect..

Well, first off, DON'T expect anything amazing, and don't expect something realistic,high budgeted and great...I mean c'mon now. Thats probably the biggest problem with most movie-goers whom roam across flicks like these..they expect something so high-quality, the title alone should let you know some kind of cheese factor is involved.

I caught this 2 days ago during sci-fi channels thanksgiving movie marathon where they showed practically EVERY nu-image/ killer animal film around. I watched off and on some others but they never caught me too much, this one had an advantage for me because my favorite actor, Martin Kove was in this. As always, Kove did an excellent job with the work he was handed. No matter what quality or type of character or film he gets, he always throws out the best he can and helps his films out. Without him this wouldn't have NEARLY gotten the semi-positive review from me it is getting.

Now, this is NOTHING to scream about...its incredibly cheesy and ridiculous at times, but if you're bored and this is on TV, and low budget horror is your groove, then it can keep you occupied for the time it is on. And while the crocodile itself looked pretty lame, like I said you shouldn't expect too much from this,but nonetheless,as bad as effects were...the acting on the other hand for this grade of a movie, was VERY above average in my views. Kove,along with Heidi Leinhart and a few others, helped carry this movie up the ladder of entertainment with them giving it their all. Now, of course not everybody did a great job, and not everything was great,but like I said and will finish this off with- it can help pass the time if it is THAT boring of a day/night,and if its your type of flick.
