Horror films that focus on the environment or nature fascinate me because they can cause far greater harm than expected, and there are not many ways to deal with it. Legendary films in this category include The Birds (1963) or Jaws (1975), and many other fillers, including Grizzly (1976), Dogs (1976), Day of the Animals (1977), and All the Way to Alligator (1980). Unlike this collection, the latest entry here is much more of a subgenre B movie. In terms of alligators and crocodiles, they are practically the stuff of nightmares, and together with sharks, they are the only living beings that have truly not changed throughout the millions of years. So, let us, for a moment, put that imagery aside. I am sure that all of you were wondering, not where I am starting this niche in horror,, but rather from what appears to be a far more peculiar addendum in the title. Isn’t that so?
With plenty of competition already strewn across from him, Director Paul W. Franklin already had a lot to deal with. He along with his team worked on the film extensively, and he interestingly notes that some b-movies have this unique mark in the form of ‘!’ While not new to horror film titles, this mark is an interesting addition to the history of the horror genre.
Taking into consideration what I have seen before, this B-movie injects a strata of z-grade cerebral element which appeals to the context of education. Now I focus on what it has to offer in the storytelling department. There are a few camping scenes featuring a lovely couple. Right before the croc gets them, which will happen in the first five and a half minutes, Making you endure the world’s dullest and smallest opening followed by a narrow view. After that, the country estate known as Cedar Manor in Hampshire serves as the backdrop for a wedding party, which is a term that translates to a feeding frenzy. Mr. Dylan, the father of the bride is the first person introduced to the screen. Mark Haldor Torture does an excellent jog in the scene dressed as an anti-poaching ranger. He also hints late and remembers his wife and wedding estate planner buddy. The line about the wedding estate planner is such a bummer that it breaks you from the adult scene zoning us into at the 7.21 mark. As if, skip your daughter’s wedding planner and have her banged screw in the hot tub like this is an adult film; well the sculpture is a remake of women from Mar’s men from Venus.
Uh, so during this particular scene, Lisa (Sian Altman (Wolf Garden [2023]), who is his daughter, is calling and says, It’s a great venue, they are very accommodating, which inspires this cringe-level dialogue that sounds like a porn movie stereotype. Anyway, skip six months ahead and the bride with her brigade of bridesmaids arrives soon after the men, well the groom and best man, Charlie (George Nettleton) and Ben (Stephen Staley) arrive. In the pre-wedding section, Father Dearest has started to make his moves on the women most particularly Vanessa, and by the end, Charlie is now getting his end away with bridesmaid Georgie (Beatrice Fletcher) with, dare I say, more adult film than horror film dialogue. Next thing you know, the crocodile, angry at not receiving a wedding invite proceeds to bite the bridal party and guests in a fit of rage that is entirely too much to be seen on an incredibly low budget. Among all the nonsense there is montaged another set of dialogues which is between Charlie and Reverend Jackson (Chris Cordell) about a subject as delightful as theology and evil, a spectacular sight, while plenty of others stand by with non-bleeding croc bites.
I understand, huh? There is no reason why the crocodile makes its home there. They’re falling down, lying there waiting to be gobbled up with the weakest pleas for help.
