User Reviews

Absolutely fantastic Sci-Fi Channel entry

Having discovered the existence of the crocodiles living in the local lake, a former hunter joins forces with the town's sheriff to keep the crocodiles at bay when both a relentless poacher and a group of teens descend on their nesting grounds.

A really great entry here, one that manages to get a lot right about it and not a whole lot of flaws. In fact, it's only got the true flaw of these Sci-Fi Channel entries in the atrocious and truly terrible CGI used for the crocodiles, which doesn't even come close to the real thing and used for scenes that really shouldn't have needed them. Beyond this, though, there's a lot to like here including some outstanding action scenes featuring both the hunters stalking the crocs in the water or on land as well as the creatures chasing after the stranded teens in several really fun sequences. In addition, there's plenty of croc action which allows for some nice bits of gore and a couple nice stalking scenes throughout, which is always a lot of fun to have here and makes this one quite enjoyable. Plus, the fact that this one manages to feel as though it's a true continuation of the series, not only spouting off events that previously happened in the series but also continuing off on threads introduced there and presenting itself as a true follower of the previous entries, which is rarely seen. A frenetic pace and a ton of cheese provide the last points for this one, perhaps the best entry in the series.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence and Language.
