Who Tobe, Why?

I watched this movie late at night on the Sci-Fi channel, and I was surprised to see who the director was when I looked it up. I couldn't believe that Tobe Hooper directed this. It just doesn't seem like a Tobe Hooper movie when you're watching it. It seems more like a cheap made-for-TV movie, it's pretty bad.

The plot is based around some stupid teenagers camping in a swampy area, and a giant crocodile starts to hunt them down and kill everyone within the area. This is basically a below-average horror movie, a little bit cheesy if you ask me. The CGI effects of the giant crocodile aren't convincing at all, sometimes it's almost laughable. There is a lot of gore, but some of it looks kind of fake if you ask me. The story is pretty far fetched, and the acting wasn't too good either. Not what I expected from Hooper, who brought us "Texas Chainsaw", the best horror movie of all time. Pretty bad in my opinion, but entertaining if you have nothing better to do. 4/10.
