Review of The Legend of Gator Face (1996) by Lisa P — 16 Feb 2013
A sweet Young Adult Monster Movie where two bored youngsters start a rumour that the local legendary gator Face is out and about. They whip the town up into a frenzy until the modern equivilent of torch waving villagers show up to hunt him down: The Cable News media and idiots with guns.
Turns out there IS a Gator Face or at least a family of gator Faces, not sure. The kids are both thrilled & shocked to encounter the mystical creature who saves them from harm early on. The one we meet looks young, noble and worthy of protection - just a deep swamp creature who wants to be left to exist in peace.
When the angry mob of media and locals has the boys and Gator Face trapped in a fire, can any of them survive? If you loved Monster Squad or were the kid begging the scientists to leave The Gill Man alone, then you'll enjoy a trip back in time with this Tweener Scary Fantasy adventure.
very young children will need a parent to watch with them since they may be upset & scared for Gator Face and the boys.
