in other, less caring hands this would've been just a jaws rip-off, which it is... but then that'd be dismissing how fun the performances are, and the fact you barely need any suspension of disbelief for a b-movie about a killer alligator, which is pretty impressive. completely forgot that the alligator becomes huge because sidney lassick is feeding it hormone-injected dogs. sayles knows how to ground high concept shit just enough so it makes you care a little more than you usually would, and i really don't see how they could've done a better job with the practical effects in 1980. truly read

hooptober 666 #7 watched on anchor bay dvd. hopefully the only film i watch in standard definition this hooptober year. surprisingly good movie. it knows what exactly what it is, and the dialogue is pretty sharp. not sure why they had to make fun of robert forster's hairline, i always feel bad for balding dudes! this movie reminds of that quentin tarantino quote from the commentary in from dusk til dawn where kids will never get killed. well, this is an exception. read
