Featured review
Filmed in beautiful Sri Lanka, The Great Alligator otherwise known as Alligators otherwise known as Big Alligator River has featured in several worst movies ever made lists. Honestly I think the people who included it need to watch more films, as this wouldn't likely make my bottom 500 despite still being bad.
It tells the story of a group of tourists who anger the locals and before you know it there is one angry giant alligator after them and the native people aren't very friendly either.
I can't come up with a reason folks would consider this one of the worst ever, sure it's bad but not to that degree.
It looks dated sure and the plot and pacing are really quite dire but all in all I've seen this very same thing done considerably worse.
I would certainly not recommend this to anyone, but it's not THAT bad.
The Good:
Some great nature shots
SFX aren't that bad
The Bad:
Very slow burner
Plot is a bit of a mess and gets worse the further in you go
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
I don't approve of swine swindling
Adam (As in Adam & Eve) was an idiot
