Working in Hawaii to stop an impending eruption, a vulcanologist and his team come across a scientist tracking an escaped prehistoric crocodile in the area and must unite to bring the creature down before it rampages through the area.
Overall this one was a very enjoyable cheesy creature feature. What makes this one so much fun is the rather fun encounters that come about here from the continuation of the channel's quick-shot attacks throughout here. The suspenseful stalking of the couple at the lake in the beginning, the cheesy model photo-shoot at the waterfall which leads in the first of many chases through the forest, the attack on the pot harvesters at the clearing or the tense scene of the couple hiding out by the trees in the jungle where they hope to let it pass by without being seen are all part of this kind of set-up along the first half. The second half of the film is where this one really gets fun with the attack on the ridge coming up through the trees and launching a surprise attack, the ambush at the waterfall knocking them into the water and the incredibly fun time of the jeep attack that leads into the chase through the forest all come off as rather fun attacks in here due to the rather enjoyable time here. Even with these, though, the film's at its best with the finale where the creature attacks the tourists at the resort which has a ton of high-quality features, from the stalking of the guests to the chaos of the panicked crowds fleeing it advancing after them, the gunfire brought to bear on the creature to bring it down resulting in some great action to come along chasing it around and the final resolution to kill the creature gives this one a lot to really like, especially with the other big action scenes in this section really building into a solid series of scenes keeping the pace up quite nicely here. There's also quite a bit of fun with the main creature here, having not only a fun overall design suitable for a cheesy creature feature while also managing to get a nice tactic out of the use of the realistic creatures' jaws throughout many of the attacks which gives this a really cheesy tone that makes this one good enough to overcome the few flaws in here. The biggest issue in this one comes from the film's rather uneven first half which is filled with the brief attacks while spending far too much time on the back-story for each of the incidental characters set-up here as cannon-fodder. The photo-shoot models, the sorority couple, and the stoners all get way too much there than they really should since they're here only to up the body count. The other flaw here is the per-usual CGI that c comes into use for the creature which comes with all the usual hallmarks of the style here. These are what hold this one down.
Rated R: Graphic Violence, Language and drug use.
