Killer Instinct - Crocodiles DVD

Advantages: Fun in places, Bargain Price, A little Gem
Disadvantages: Could do better with 3D Graphics compared to over films

...From the Director of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Tobe Hooper. Comes a little gem of a film. If you can pick it up cheap, I got it for a pound; you have yourself a bargain film. The plot may be a little far fetched, but it makes a change from the serial killers and Zombie films out there. 100 years ago a hotel was built on the banks of lake Sobek, and its main attraction was an enormous Nile crocodile. According to folk law the croc went crazy and ate everyone in the hotel. The basic plot follows eight college students on their spring break that have gone out on lake Sobek in a houseboat. The croc chases the students throughout the film as one of them put one of its eggs in a rucksack, tut tut, asking for trouble there. The students get picked off one by one and the houseboat even takes a battering. There is moderate gore involved... Read review

Advantages: Well, you can't die from it
Disadvantages: Acting | Effects | Dialogue

...You know how sometimes films that are so bad end up being pretty good? For example, the Friday 13th series of films are not the best in terms of quality or suspense but they are so silly that you can happily sit down and watch it with a few mates and some drink. Not one of the films really takes itself too seriously and will offer up so much camp horror and gore that watching them will always entertain. That is what I thought would be the case in watching Crocodile 2 after seeing it showing on Sky a few nights back. The title is silly and cheap sounding enough so it was bound to be a laugh. I was wrong. Crocodile 2: Death Roll (or Death Swamp depending where you are) is the sequel to the original Crocodile film released in 2000. Directed by none other than Tobe Hooper of Texas Chainsaw Massacre fame it was yet another sub standard... Read review

Advantages: Pretty scary Crocodile movie
Disadvantages: Minor flaws

...If you have a fear of things in the water then it seems that the next 18 months might not be a good time for you at the cinema. Earlier on this year low budget crocodile pic Black Water made good in box offices across the world, in the pipeline are two big budget Piranha movies, a killer squid movie, and Meg based on the bestselling novels about a giant killer shark that has somehow survived from prehistoric times; but first up its back to Australia for a mid budget movie about a Crocodile devouring tourists when they trespass on Aboriginal land in the movie Rogue. Rogue is most definitely up a few notches from earlier Australian movie Black Water, not least in the fact that it has a few known cast members, heading up our cast is Radha Mitchell as Kate Ryan who you'll know best from either Pitch Black or popular soap opera Neighbours...
