Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

kaefab From the first start of the music, to what ever happens you can clearly see they copied Jaws, a part from the very bad acting, the very bad special effects, and everything else, the movie is a disaster.The crocodile looks so fake, it looks like one of those giant inflated dolls you put into your swimming pool during summer time.The kills are almost all off screen too which make it even worst and they make sure to blow the monster right off the bat in the opening scene.I would love to recommend this type of so bad its good movie but sadly its not..... there is so much going on that you want to stop the movie and pop in the Jaws to see what a real monster movie looks like.Does not even deserve an A for effort.

shawnblackman The Great Alligator (1979) was already done so Italy decided to give us Killer Crocodile. A massive crocodile is munching on everybody in the swamp that has been used to dump radioactive waste.They rearrange a few notes to the Jaw's theme for the opening credits and then use the exact music later on. They duplicate a few classic scenes as well. Campy as hell. The crocodile they use looks alright until the mouth moves and the back of his mouth looks like its made of paper. Not very gory as the crocodile use takes his food to go.Over acting is prominent in this one but stick it out for the end. The way they kill the creature is priceless. I'm not really giving away the ending because their is Killer Crocodile 2 which now I have watch. On a side note the guy who directs this was a producer for most of Fulci's films. I still have to see his Breakfast With Dracula (1993).

Paul Andrews Killer Crocodile is set in Santo Domingo & starts as several American ecologists sail through a swamp there, they are looking for proof that big business is dumping it's toxic waste into the swamp & causing an environmental disaster. Pollution levels in the water are extremely high & when they discover a pile of toxic waste barrels dumped in the swamp they intend to blow the whistle & put an end to the illegal dumping. However after setting up camp for the night Conchita goes missing, the other's fear for her safety & when her dead, mutilated body turns up the local medical examiner claims that she was killed by some animal. Local big game hunter Joe (Ennio Girolami) fears that a killer Crocodile may be on the loose & he is proved right when a huge twenty foot Crocodile attacks a small village killing a couple of people, the town Judge (Van Johnson) doesn't want to know so Joe & the remaining environmentalists set out to kill the Crocodile first before it kills anyone else...This Italian production was co-written, produced & directed by Fabrizio De Angelis & is a straight forward Jaws (1975) rip-off that is pretty awful, as a huge fan of the Italian exploitation genre it's safe to say that it's better days were well behind it when Killer Crocodile was made. The Jaws similarities are there for all to see, the water based menace that eats people, the fact that it lurks just under the surface with only part of it visible above the water, the craggy old hunter who sets out to kill the monster, the music is a virtual note for note reworking of the classic Jaws theme, the local businessman & town officials who want to keep the killer animal secret for fear of bad publicity & just the way the script is written screams of Jaws. As you might expect Killer Crocodile has none of Jaws effectiveness, it is really dull & boring with long stretches where nothing happens, the attack scenes are so poor & unimaginative that any self respecting creature feature fan will want their money back once the end credits begin to roll. The character's are awful, they are all bland & stupid who aren't helped by an awful script that contains some terrible dialogue. With a film such as Killer Crocidile it's easier & quicker to list the things that are good about it, well it has one or two mildly gory moments & that's about it. Listing all the things wrong with Killer Crocodile would take a lot longer. At 90 odd minutes long Killer Crocodile drags & crawls along, you get the occasional really bad attack scene, a few shots of the Crocodile in the water & those throughly dull humans who are hunting it down. This is bad, very bad.Reasonably well on location Killer Crocodile was made before CGI became commonplace & therefore we have a big rubber Crocodile that barely moves as it's floats in the swamp, it's never really seen eating anyone although it does bite someones arm off whose stump then spurts a lot of blood. There's also a couple of dead bodies seen & that's about it. Most of the victims are killed off screen. There's no nudity or sex either & overall Killer Crocodile is fairly tame & forgettable. There's no tension, suspense or scares in this annoyingly drab film. Filmed at the same time as it's sequel Killer Crocodile II (1990) which uses many of the same cast & crew.The acting is bad, well at least the dubbing is bad. In fact it's hilariously bad with seemingly no attempt to match the dialogue with the on screen actor's mouth movements. The special effects are average at best & don't convince but they aren't as bad as some that I have seen although that's not saying much.Killer Crocodile is a really dull & boring film that is your basic common or garden variety Jaws rip-off, the effects are dated & the whole film is forgettable. There are better creature features out there, don't bother with this one even if you can find a copy.

insomniac_rod I can't believe this was actually intended to be a serious horror movie. This came out after the bombing of JAWS IV : The Revenge. By the late 80's nobody was interested in killer animals.I had a difficult and terrible time watching it. It's a really boring movie. There's no action, gore, or even good looking women (that's the least you can ask for in a movie like this!).The only thing the audience gets is a laughable cartoonish crocodile and cheesy death scenes. The atmosphere is not nearly scary and the movie is very slow...Please don't watch this one. Skip it at all costs. 1/10.
