Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Platypuschow Razortooth is one of those cgi packed creature features you'll frequently see on the Scyfy channel, and as expected is pretty damn dire.It tells the story of a genetically altered giant eel that has broken loose of it's confines and is on a killing spree in deep south america.Its victims including boy scouts, rednecks, escaped convicts and more rednecks. As you'd imagine the cgi is pretty poor and the creators crammed every concievable cliche into the movie.It comes down to the local animal control guy and his ex wife sherriff to save the day and did I mention it's pretty damn dire?Hollywood star Josh Gad can be seen here, younger, wider and looking very out of place considering how far he has come since 2007.If you like the Scyfy creature feature tosh then this may well be for you.The Good:Neat looking beastieThe Bad:Stock audioUsual clichesEnding was dumbThings I Learnt From This Movie:If Josh Gad wants to Tipp-Ex this off his resume I'd happily turn a blind eyePeople who prefer animals than people are ironically my kind of peopleI'd genuinely like to know why every movie of this ilk has no consistency in regards to the creatures sizeIf Dustin Diamond and Justin Timberlake had a baby you'd have that convict
GL84 After a rash of disappearances, a wildlife expert and the local sheriff team up with a group of residents to combat the gigantic, mutated eel running loose through the local swamplands before it eats the whole town.This turned out to be quite the flawed if still slightly enjoyable creature feature. There's some rather enjoyable moments here, most of which comes from the fact that the creature is clearly out and rampaging around quite early so there's plenty of action scenes within this. From the opening attack on the search party in the swamps to the brief attack scenes around town as it attacks the locals to the rather cheesy finale where it seemingly keeps coming back despite several attempts to fully contain and kill it while the creature is chasing after them for even more action-packed sequences, so this one dos manage to contain some rather impressive and fun moments that allow for a pretty enjoyable pace here as these are spread liberally enough throughout the film to avoid any kind of prolonged boredom. Along with plenty of action is plenty of exciting kills here which are based on the creature's rather fun tactic of simply going for the kill every time out so it's ravenous behavior makes for a rather gory and blood-soaked time with plenty of limbs being gnawed off, bodies ripped apart, bites and much more here which make for a really good time. These are enough to hold it aloft over it's few minor flaws, most notably the utterly ridiculous and abysmal CGI rampant throughout here. Not only is this patently unimpressive and obvious in it's fake-ness, the fact that it also manages to employ other big giveaways to it's source is found throughout here including the creature randomly appearing out of nowhere simply because the attack calls for it, changing size and dimensions frequently and barely interacting with the outside world around it so there's never any doubt this pixelated, cheesy-looking beast is anything but realistic. Likewise, the other big flaw here is the obvious use of character-padding to max out a storyline that really shouldn't yield a movie this long so there's a lot of excess story lines drummed up simply to provide more characters for it to kill off which really shouldn't be so as they simply scream out in their attempt to pad out the running time. These are somewhat detrimental to this but not enough to really lower it.
tmccull52 ... the old fifteen foot amphibious, carnivorous tree eel ploy.If you're looking for "serious" horror, look elsewhere. This is not a film to be taken very seriously; it is not the next "The Exorcist", or anything remotely close to movies of that caliber. It seemed to me that the film makers knew that, already had it in mind when they made the movie. It's campy... not necessarily good campy, but again, it seemed like the cast and crew were looking to make a film that might entertain and amuse you for a few hours. I'm not saying that they succeeded, but I think that they knew that this film wasn't going to be up for any Oscars.If you're absolutely bored out of your mind, and are desperate to watch pretty much any horror flick, you might find something in this film worthwhile. I reiterate, "might".
immcgillicuddy I LOVED this title. I thought the campy nature was so much fun! Come on people, the idea you are trying to hold a movie like this to some kind of "creature" reality is kinda sad. Have fun with it! I thought it was hilarious! The bad guy was especially funny. I was hoping he was gonna say..."You just don't lead em as much!!" On another note, I liked the ending. I did not see that coming and the final romantic scene made me laugh out loud. When's the last time that happened? Certainly not during "Semi-Pro" or "Balls of Fury". I also liked the way the monsters looked and the idea way they took their pray. I can't wait for the next one, I hope they make a sequel!
