DVD Reviews of Crocodile
DVD Review: Good Bad Movie
Summary: 2 Stars
I would have given this movie at least 3 stars if it wasn't because of some obvious flaws. I'm not complaining about the CGI since its to be expected in this kind of films but flaws like the crocodile turning backwards like if it was some sort of vehicle or jumping like a dolphin makes the film a little hard to watch. Ignoring those flaws this movie was fun to watch but its going to be hard to make a lot of people watch this. Good for when you have nothing to do.DVD Review: I Have Never Been So Unhappy To See A Crocodile Vomit
Summary: 1 Stars
What was Tobe Hooper thinking?
Tobe Hooper is a talented guy and basically invented the slasher movie ("The Texas Chainsaw Massacre"), but he really should have taken a pass on this little project produced by Boaz Davidson (who also made the dreadful "Spiders"). This is a simple-minded "teenagers on spring break get eaten by a creature" movie.
In this case the incredibly annoying teens rent a horrible houseboat and take off for a few days of partying. The teens like frolicking in the muddy water, drinking, and committing various other excesses. One night the boat drifts into a swamp, where it runs aground and is stuck. The angry 30 foot long crocodile commences stalking activities by ramming their boat (you may find yourself wishing you were watching "Jaws" at this point; I know I did). As an interesting survival strategy the teens escape by jumping into the water (where the crocodile is), which, though counterintuitive, was the right decision inasmuch as the crocodile literally makes the boat fall apart and sink (even though it was stuck against the ground). The true key to watching this film is the complete suspension of disbelief.
The teens go for a long walk through the woods where they adapt another survival strategy: yell constantly at each other about trivialities. Mercifully, they find a convenience store which they promptly break into, as does the crocodile. Although the number of cast members continues to fall (though not fast enough) the three survivors find rescue on the Sheriff's boat. After a giant (and totally bogus) CGI crocodile jumps and pirouettes over the boat, the teens once again decide to avoid the croc by jumping into the water with it.
The teens eventually decide on a plan to kill the croc by putting a sweatshirt over its eyes and putting sticks down its throat. Thankfully, in the execution of this plan Duncan finally gets eaten by the crocodile, thereby eliminating the most annoying cast member in recent memory. Imagine my horror when the crocodile vomited Duncan back up so he could add further insult to injury. The resolution of the movie is touching in a maternalistic way, or at least it's supposed to be. By this point I didn't care how it ended I was just grateful it was over.
This film had one of the most annoying casts and scripts I have ever sat through. I liked nobody in the cast and would have much preferred the crocodile to eat the entire cast in the first five minutes of the film so I wouldn't have to waste my time with the rest of this mess.
DVD Review: Possibly the best of the movies from these series
Summary: 4 Stars
The movie series "spiders" "Crocodile" "Shark Attack" and "Octopus" were apparently brought out on DVD by the same company at a similar time.
Amongst the nine movies in those four series, this is probably the best.
Its kind of like a slaher movie but with a crocodile instead of a serial killer, so I guess it could also be considered "original for a slasher movie"
DVD Review: this was a good movie
Summary: 5 Stars
CROCODILE was a great horror flick. its about a group of college kids on spring break going on a boating trip on a river in louisiana. they begin the trip going along and having fun until the mess with the crocs nest and ruin the eggs and steal 1 of them. the croc is infuriated and goes after the kids and starts killin em 1 by 1. the film had some good humor in it and a lot of gore. this was a great movie and watching it is definietly worth your whileDVD Review: FOR A WHILE CROCODILE
Summary: 3 Stars
CHROCACTERS
If you can get past the Tom Cruise-alike, it's watchable.
The unique face is great for modelling but in film it's just too distracting.
So is the Tom Cruise-alike. No I wasn't really talking about the crocodile, but the Tomodile, who plays Brady (no relation to the Bunch). He should be called Mark McCruise, not Mark McLachlan.
Duncan's extreme ego was somehow satisfying to me - pulling out the stops, acting over the tops. Taking Hollowood's egomania to the next level.
And there's the rest of the Brady bunch. You know em.
REACTIONS
After the first croc sighting, I was really surprised at the pleasant panic and chaos that went on for ages. But, of course, having thought that would mean I'd be let down the next minute.
Where horror films fail first is reactions. They are so necessary for reality, and horror.
Where horror films fail second is consistency.
In the next croc bit, the first attack scene, the reactions weren't even equalled. This was the time to take it to the next level.
CROCODILE FOR A WHILE
Mostly the CGI looks good, even - or especially - in daylight. But all that time on modelling (I told you that croc was a model) - CGI modelling I mean - and they just show it for flashes [..]
Don't forget the crocorn. And jellybabies. And of course a HUGE Croke.
Description of Crocodile
High school sweethearts Brady, Claire and six of their college friends board a houseboat for a fun-filled, sun-soaked spring break vacation. But when they discover a nest of large eggs in the marshlands -- and can't resist taking one back to the party -- their weekend of fun-in-the-sun will turn into a weekend of terror.
