OK. When I first heard about this, I was going to skip it because anything done by The Asylum is trash. However, this wasn't done by the Asylum. It's a dumb as most of their movies, but the practical effects are better as is the CGI (not up to the standards of say, Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings, but still better). The Cajun accents are weak and those characters, a bunch of hillbillies are quite stereotyped, but that's neither here nor there. Most of them are present just to push the 'we have a feud for a hunnerd years' part of the story and, of course get killed by the Alligators that one family, by dumping their chemically tainted 'bad' moonshine in the bayou, have caused. Let's face it, there is no better Alligator movie than 1980's Alligator. But this is fun, especially when the gigantic mutant alligators show up. These are like alligator-stegasauruses. They have spikes in their tails WHICH THEY CAN FIRE. As one young female cop discovers just before a tail takes her head off (a decent enough effect). Almost everyone ends up killed and one, the main characters daddy becomes - I am NOT kidding here, a were-gator. I'm still trying to figure out how his little gold covered canine became a gigantic pointed gold covered alligator tooth, but that's how darling daughter, who he saves from another gator, recognizes him. This has all the usual stuff; characters doing stupid things, characters getting killed gruesomely and a gator slaughter at the end where the black sheriff, who escaped several close calls (he does a lot of running to his car and fleeing), finally gets swallowed. At least the grenade he drops kills his killer. Yes, this movie is really dumb. The only thing it was missing was some nudity. Perhaps they're saving that for the sequel. Worth at least one view for fans of dumb movies.
