This Crocodile is a Turkey, 18 septembre 2005

Auteur : krorie de Van Buren, Arkansas

When I saw this on the SciFi Channel, I started to turn it off but then I kept thinking, "This has got to get better." But, no, it kept getting worse. The acting is so awful that it doesn't even play as camp. The teens scream their lines and the older actors (used loosely) are no better. Why, the teens can't even cuss right. Since they are supposed to be from New York City, you would think they could at least do that. Maybe they're Park Avenue teens. They make Joe Namath look good.

What upset me most about this turkey was when I looked up who was responsible for it. Would you believe Tobe Hooper? Has he been smoking wacky weed again! This is a long way down hill from "Poltergeist." And the special effects are an abomination. Some of the cheaper sci-fi flicks of the 50's look like Star Wars compared to this one. Apparently the SciFi Channel edited parts of the film. But I doubt if that makes much difference here. Take my advice and watch an earlier Tobe Hooper creation, such as "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre."

Laughable., 12 juillet 2004

Maybe I don't get this movie. Is it supposed to be as bad as it seems? When I watched Cabin Fever (and let's face it, Crocodile is similar with a different enemy) I thought I'd misunderstood it because there was a chance that the sheer awfulness was deliberate.

It's the usual (and annoyingly repetitive) Teenager Elimination flick (along with Cabin Fever, Wrong Turn, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Jeepers Creepers, etc, etc) and, predictably, the characters are so obnoxious and shallow that you don't care who dies next. The afore- mentioned movies have a few things in common. Firstly you need a few teenagers to hate. Secondly, the enemy (which could be anything) needs to start wiping out the teenagers. Also required are some locals who know the history behind the enemy. Sound familiar? I can't understand why movie makers still write this kind of trash.

The CGI was awful. Another comment left here explained that this movie was supposed to be rubbish and the CGI was supposed to be unrealistic. What?! Why would a movie company want to spend its money on a film with unconvincing special effects on purpose? Ludicrous. This was released in 2000 and there's no excuse for bad effects these days.

The acting was substandard too. The writers have injected a love story into the mix which, quite frankly, didn't help things along. There was a little insight to the characters but after establishing that, you still didn't care who was going to die and when.

Won't be watching this one again in a hurry - if I'd read the review in the TV guide, I wouldn't have bothered at all. It's just the same old formula with a different enemy. Doesn't matter whether it's a contagious disease, piranhas, man with chainsaw, demon, alien or crocodile - stick a selection of unconvincing teenagers into the situation and you've got movie-making at its worst.

Go into this one at your own risk., 1 mars 2002
Auteur : (billybrown41@hotmail.com) de Kimberling City, MO.

Hmmm. This movie is kind of a double-edged sword. It's like this, I saw the box and grabbed it up because I wanted something to make fun of. Much like I did with Alligator (which turned out being really good). But here, Tobe Hooper was directing, so I figured it may be worth a shot. Back to what I was saying earlier. There is a lot to be made fun of in this movie, if you're not used to this sort of thing. Those weird people (like myself) who spend much of their free time bashing other people's work will be right at home here. Whether it be some of the characters' ill-executed dialouge or the even iller-executed Croc effects, which sometimes work and sometimes don't. Or it could just be the fact that this is the dumbest bunch of college-agers ever put on film (with the exception of Urban Legend: Final Cut).

Let me say what I like about this movie before I go any further and tell you what passes for the plot. A bunch of beer-swilling college kids (they look like their around that age, but I don't think any of them are smart enough to get in college. No, I'm not being funny) are on a Spring Break and have rented a house boat for what promises to be a fun trip on the lake. They've got all the goods. Beer, beer, and more beer. There's every characters cliche that you would come to expect, featuring the smartass, the whiner who's having trouble with his girlfriend, the loudmouth, the one who's just a little bit louder than the rest, the prude, the slut (I liked her), you get the idea. Everyone has seen this all before...Anyway, one of the girls happens to be unknowingly carrying a crocodile egg in her bag that the prankster put in there as a joke...I don't get it. But, that's the set-up for the whole damn movie. Understandably, the croc is none too happy about her egg being stolen and she's going to try everything in her power to get it back. and maybe have a little fun along the way. You can figure out the rest. The ultimate beer-bash on water, turns into a fight for survival.

Now, even though I've seen this done a thousand times, I still enjoyed Crocodile and rarely got bored. Their were a couple of moments that spent too much time meandering, but the characters are fun to be around and even the Crocodile has a certain charm. Like many other horror flicks out right now, this one has the punk/pop soundtrack and it just makes the whole thing that much more fun. Even though it's predictable, Crocodile is still worth a rental. I would've expected more from the guy who brought us the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, though. Anyhow, give it a run. It's great for some laughs.

C'mon Hooper...stop messing around, will ya!, 28 juillet 2007

Auteur : BA_Harrison de Hampshire, England

A pound doesn't buy a lot these days, so when I saw a brand spanking new copy of Tobe Hooper's Crocodile on DVD for precisely that amount, I figured there must be worse ways to waste a quid and 'snapped' it up.

And while I don't exactly regret buying the film (I am, after all, a total horror addict, and will watch virtually any rubbish in order to satisfy my cravings), on reflection, a pound does seem a little steep.

With its monster-movie-by-numbers plot (killer croc on the loose), one dimensional characters (assorted jocks and bimbos, a tough cop and an experienced hunter), and clichéd delivery, I realise that this film was never intended to be anything other than a bit of low-budget B-movie monster fun, but even with my expectations set low, I found Crocodile to be rather disappointing.

Usually, even when at his most uninspired, Hooper is capable of delivering an occasional moment of dark humour, the odd creepy scene or convincingly nasty bit of gore, but with this lacklustre effort, he merely goes through the motions. The result is an instantly forgettable giant-killer-animal-on-the-loose straight-to-DVD clunker of the type found clogging up the bottom shelves at your local Blockbuster (the kind that sport such inventive titles as Octopus, Python, Spiders, and.... well ...Crocodile, I suppose).

I'm not sure what the budget was on this production, but judging by the effects on display, I'm guessing it was mega-low. The titular monster is portrayed via an unconvincing mix of full-size models and laughable bargain basement CGI, whilst the sparse gore, by the usually reliable KNB FX group, definitely looks like it was knocked up on the cheap. Hell, the budget doesn't even stretch far enough to convince the babes to get their norks out—exactly what kind of B-movie is this, Mr. Hooper? If you can't give us decent gore, at least give us gratuitous nudity.

To be fair, the film doesn't drag, and there is a certain amount of fun to be had from this flick's general cheesiness, but one can't help but wonder how the man who gave the world Leatherface could sink this low.

The last time Hooper dabbled with killer reptiles, he gave us Eaten Alive, which I gave a reasonable 6/10. With this second attempt at a croc-shocker, he gets 3.5 (generously rounded up to 4 for IMDb). If I were Tobe, I wouldn't try again. I'll probably end up having to give a 1... and I really don't want to have to do that!!!

Who Tobe, Why?, 27 août 2004

Auteur : youshotandywarhol de Oregon

I watched this movie late at night on the Sci-Fi channel, and I was surprised to see who the director was when I looked it up. I couldn't believe that Tobe Hooper directed this. It just doesn't seem like a Tobe Hooper movie when you're watching it. It seems more like a cheap made-for-TV movie, it's pretty bad.

The plot is based around some stupid teenagers camping in a swampy area, and a giant crocodile starts to hunt them down and kill everyone within the area. This is basically a below-average horror movie, a little bit cheesy if you ask me. The CGI effects of the giant crocodile aren't convincing at all, sometimes it's almost laughable. There is a lot of gore, but some of it looks kind of fake if you ask me. The story is pretty far fetched, and the acting wasn't too good either. Not what I expected from Hooper, who brought us "Texas Chainsaw", the best horror movie of all time. Pretty bad in my opinion, but entertaining if you have nothing better to do. 4/10.

Tobe Bites Back!, 21 janvier 2001

Auteur : pizowell

I've been waiting a long time for Tobe Hooper to comeback with a bad*ss movie......My wait is over. Crocodile is about a group of teens on their spring break, soon they realize they are being stalked by a giant crocodile and most of them won't make it out alive. Crocodile is no Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but it's an awesome party movie to watch with your friends. It has pretty cool effects, a giant croc eating everything in sight, cool dialogue, cool characters, and a cool practical joker named Duncan. Crocodile makes a statement to the world: TOBE IS BACK! Check it out!

Not great but I have seen worse, 24 juin 2009

Auteur : atinder de Royaume-Uni

Eight teenagers go out on a weekend boat trip on a remote lake in Southern California only to have it turn into a nightmare when they are stalked by a very large, monstrous man-eating crocodile after they disturb its nest, and soon they must band together in order to survive from the beast

I love killer Animals movies and this it not bad at all, I for one think this movie is really good, it had some good scare scenes which made me jump.

Acting in this movie was not great but not bad at all as I have seen much worse.

For me this movie never got boring has I was really griped into the story! Very good cheesy /scary Crocodile movie 6/10

Long Ways from Texas, 29 février 2008

Crocodile (2000)

** (out of 4)

Direct to DVD film from director Tobe Hooper about a bunch of college students who hit the river for some sex and beer but end up being menaced by a twenty-foot croc. The film starts off okay but wears out of steam by the fifty minute mark. The characters are all very obnoxious so it's hard to care if any of them live or die. The CGI effects are among the worst I've ever seen. Hooper's direction puts this slightly above most other direct to DVD titles but the film is a long way off from Alligator.

Ha ha ha ha....Comedy ensues!, 18 septembre 2005

Auteur : CheeryToes (peggik@bellsouth.net) de Jax, FL

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

Oh my word, I laughed out loud at the truly wonderfully campily bad crocodile, the blatantly obvious plot and the dialogue...I hate to say I laughed out loud at people being eaten, but it was sooooo funny! CHOMP CHOMP ...hahahaha...the one girl practically has to bend down and squnch herself into the crocodile's mouth...and when it opens and closes it's mouth ...ho ho ho...clap on clap off - the clapper...and at the end when the 8 inch egg opens up and the baby alligator is put into the mouth of its mama (ahhhh) the baby is suddenly like three feet long! If you like B movies, if you want to laugh out loud and you really and truly don't have ANYTHING else to do (I was coloring my hair) then sit back and laugh at this movie.

Trashy. Trashy. I love it because it was bad., 8 octobre 2001
Auteur : ApolloBoy109 de Etats-Unis

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

Saturday afternoon, painting the living room, a perfect time for bad movies, digital monsters and babes in bikinis (or for you female monster fans, dudes in boxers). Sure it's bad dialog, below average acting and a senseless 2nd plotline (The old guy fisherman aka poor man's Quint) Who bloody cares! The room got painted, I got to see some less-than creative death scenes and that corn ball ending had me laughing all night long. The Croc actually relates to the "Babe" because the Babe is pregnant and the Croc's been searching for her egg, which was put in Babes backpack. We're asked to believe all mothers fall into a universal 'understanding'-like mythos which transcends all

species and communication. Whatever -- I loved it. On a sad note, I was actually rooting for the director -- thinking he's some hot shot young film maker. Not! It was Tobe Hooper. I

love Tobe Hooper's edgy 70s - 80s film but somewhere along the way he got lost. I miss him. This movie is not him. He is a wonderful director. And one day he will return. The Once and Future Master.................
