Review of Alligator (1980) by Josh E — 28 Aug 2012
Knew exactly what it was: a monster movie and hardly ever tried to be anything more, even though there are traces of Jaws elements in it, but even then, never tried to take itself too seriously. Probably one of the best modern monster movies (yes I know it's over 30 years, but blows most monster movies made today out of the water).
Some pretty kickass sequences in this movie. This movie showed me its uncompromising nature when they show the alligator (Ramon) eat a kid, and I love the sequence where he attacks the upper class party and destroys the car.
The boat going over the alligator is another awesome thing as well. The alligator as an animatronic looks pretty good at times. If you love monster movies then this one is for you.
