A boatload of tourists gets trapped on a tiny island and hunted by a huge crocodile. I watched this not knowing what to expect but having a general liking for B movies, especially what I call "aquatic horror." Compared to others in that genre I thought Rogue was very well written, well acted, and quite suspenseful. I saw a review that criticized it for lacking a sense of humor, which is a fair criticism, and it's true some scary movies just don't work without the humor. But this one was straight-up suspense, more realistic than over-the-top: it invoked no radiation accidents to create the horror nor presented any seriously improbable approaches to attempt to escape it. It was closer to a drama about how people might act in a desperate situation. I also liked that it had a large enough cast of quickly-delineated characters to play the "who will survive game?" without any certainty you'd get it right. Along with plenty of scary moments. Recommended.
