Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

WriteJoe72 You guys who gave this movie more than one star are nuts!This movie is slapped together in a way that can only be described as awful! I watched it with a group of friends and most of them were drunk or drinking and it was not even that funny.Aside from a shot of a monkey on the crocodile's tail and some bad fake blood being spit out of a victim's mouth there was little to find amusing. The special effects are weak and silly looking. The music is warbled and weird. The acting is non-existent. The direction is no where to be found. Also they kill a live crocodile on screen which is tasteless and disgusting.One of the all-time worst JAWS rip-offs! A horribly shot, edited and mixed film. Altogether atrocious!

Chase_Witherspoon This ultra-cheap Thai export, borrows wholesale from the last third of "Jaws", and yet despite the carbon copy approach, manages to end without the audience even knowing if the title beast has been overcome, or whether the hero has survived. There's an almighty commotion, then, the film abruptly ends.While enjoying a weekend getaway with their wives and offspring, Dr. Tony and his budding medic friend soon become widows of an oceanic behemoth, that proceeds to devour everything in its path. Not content to grieve in silence, the pair gesticulate for about three-quarters of an hour on how they'll avenge their family's deaths; meanwhile, the beast is causing mayhem in the local village. After much soul-searching, reflection and the occasional bizarre chemistry experiment, the two eventually enlist the services of a rugged fisherman Tanaka (Kirk Warren) and set off by boat to end the creature's path of chaos and destruction.Frequent use of miniature sets and paltry special effects afford this film a corny quality the antithesis of the otherwise intense and heavy-handedness of the characterisations. Disjointed editing, unintelligible dubbing, droning monotone synthesisers, and annoying cinematography (from extreme darkness to blinding sunlight pans) don't assist the flailing storyline. Must surely be considered a curiosity, and will more than likely compel a second look, even if just to try and decipher what happened (or didn't happen, but should have). An interesting insight into late 70's Thai cinema, and the techniques that were unemployed when making movies.

bensonmum2 WARNING – Watching Crocodile could prove hazardous to your physical, mental, and emotional health. Having just finished watching Crocodile, I'm almost dumbfounded by the ineptitude I've witnessed. I had been warned by a couple of trusted friends that the movie was bad, but nothing could prepare for what I've just seen. To call Crocodile bad would be an understatement an an insult to other bad movies. It's one of the worst examples of movie-making I've ever seen.The plot, as best I could discern, involves a man whose entire family is killed by a giant crocodile. The man vows revenge. Sound familiar? While even the worst of the other "Man vs. Nature" movies I've seen handle this scenario with a little class, originality, or a minimum of technical skill, Crocodile is pathetic in comparison. Acting – as bad as I've seen. Music – never appropriate to the image. Editing – sloppy is too nice a word. Special effects – what's that? Plot – see Jaws. Cinematography – a monkey could have framed the shots better. Crocodile excels in poorly constructed miniatures, random shots of people and objects that have no bearing on the plot, and an overall incoherence that makes the movies Ed Wood and Al Adamson seem like masterpieces.Consider yourself warned. .

Paul Andrews Excellent, I've always wanted to be the first to review a film on the IMDb! A fierce hurricane devastates an island somewhere just off the coast of Thailand. It destroys model houses and trees as if they weren't there. Thunder, lightening, lashing winds and torrential rainfall cause tidal waves and mudslides that wipe's an entire village community out. During this footage we get several shots of a group of crocodiles caught up in the hurricane. After witnessing this destruction we head into the opening credits. They alternate between shots of two topless women being eaten by a giant crocodile, two on screen credits for the producers and director (this film has no other credits besides these even at the end), and a still of what looks like a watercolour painting where all the colour's have run and mixed into each other, bizarre. We are introduced to a Dr. Anthony Akom (Nat Puvanni), Tony to his mates, his wife Angela plus their two daughters Linda and Ann, plus Linda's fiancé Dr. John Strom who are all having dinner together. Linda comments on a newspaper headline and asks whether the rumour's are true that the hurricane was caused by an atomic explosion. They all decide to take a short holiday and before we know it they've travelled to a luxury beach-side hotel. While swimming in the sea Dr. Akom's daughters Ann and Linda, plus his wife Angela are all eaten by a giant crocodile. To have one member of your family eaten by a giant crocodile would be considered unfortunate but have have all three would probably hurt on an emotional level. Dr. Akom resigns his position and together with John he sets out to destroy the giant crocodile. First Akom talks to an expert on reptiles a Professor Lowes who somewhat jumps to conclusions and suggests that it could be possible for a crocodile to survive in the sea and says that atomic radiation might have created a giant mutant. The crocodile attacks and destroys a few riverside villages and eats a few people. Akom enlists the help of a local fisherman named Tanaka (Kirk Warren) who says they can use his boat, and talks about legends where sea monsters rise from the sea and thus he feels it's his duty to help. Meanwhile the Thai police decide to try and kill the crocodile themselves, by setting an over-sized bear-trap at the bottom of a river and baiting it with a joint of meat! I'm not joking either. In another poorly edited sequence the plan fails miserably. The police admit defeat, and it's up to our hero's Akom and John to save the day! Akom has worked out that the crocodile is heading to the open sea, hang on a minute wasn't it in the sea when it ate his family? They lie in wait where the river joins the sea for the giant crocodile ready to fight it to the death! Oh, and a reporter named Peter goes along as well, for some reason. Directed by Sampote Sands this is one pretty bad film. It tries, but rarely succeeds. Just think Jaws (1975) set in Thailand with a giant crocodile and a lot less money, in fact the ending is practically the same as Jaws and I'm surprised Spielberg hasn't sued! The special effects are poor, miniature sets and a real crocodile look fake as does the full size crocodile and the various stiff looking puppet shots. When the crocodile is seen at night it has light's in it's eye's which almost look like headlights on a car! There's a bit of blood here and there and a cool shot where a man with no legs after the crocodile had bitten them off and eaten them tries to swim away. There is also a totally unnecessary scene where a real crocodile is stabbed in the head and killed for no apparent reason, in graphic close-up. The film is obviously dubbed, badly too. And it wouldn't surprise me if the music has been redone for this English version as it seems so out of place and doesn't react to the on screen action at all, and the main theme appears to be the same piano note being played over and over and it becomes highly irritating. The editing on this film is terrible, we get random shots of things just appearing out of nowhere and in context having absolutely no relevance to anything else that is happening on screen at that particular time, like the crocodile being killed for instance. Quite often the entire frame is devoid of any action, almost as if the camera wasn't pointed in the right direction, during one scene which last for about a minute, which is why it stands out, we get a shot of a hut and someones hand poking out of the corner of the screen and I have no idea what he was meant to be doing because during the whole shot we just see one of his hands and nothing else! Bizarre. The film moves along at a fair pace and is sort of entertaining on a 'bad' level. Towards the end the sloppiness starts to wear thin and it becomes a bit of an endurance test, to sum up I'll end by saying this is the best giant killer crocodile film from Thailand, but then again please bear in mind that it's the only one. Impossible to recommend to anyone, but I just about managed to watch it all the way through.
