Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

innocuous Along with Roger Ebert, I share the belief that you can enjoy movies that really aren't very good. "Blood Surf" is one such movie. It is so harmlessly incompetent and casual that you have to just take it with a grin and some mental vacuity.Editing? Hit-and-miss. Continuity? Out sick for the day. Special effects? Whatever was on hand. A typical scene will include a shot of the croc with a harpoon and line embedded in it PRIOR to the harpoon being shot.The casting is actually excellent. Everyone fits his/her part perfectly, though the acting itself leaves a bit to be desired. (I would have like to have seen the casting calls. "Very, very flat-chested young blonde needed to balance very healthy brunette. This role will serve to keep the boat from listing to one side." While everyone seems to want to pick on the croc, I actually got the biggest grin watching the fake sharks and dorsal fins around the surfers. They remind you of Photshop 1.0.Definitely worth watching late at night.

Tonci Pivac If you're looking for a new film franchise to rival the likes of Jaws and Predator, then keep looking. This ain't gonna win an Oscar. But that doesn't mean it's bad. The story is of a film crew shooting surfers, eh, surfing with sharks. What they don't know is that a dirty big Croc is also under the sea.The actors are all unknown to me, but they are all actually pretty good. The 2 surf bum main characters especially could have their own show. But the real star is the Croc. Probably some of the worst special effects I've yet seen, though the head and jaws looked cool when it was on land.As always with a low budget horror film, there's a couple of topless scenes, couple of sex scenes and plenty of tight tops and cleavage. Which is no bad thing in my book.I won't ruin the ending, but I nearly cried it was so funny.To sum up, stone cold sober analysis of this flick won't reveal it to be a Citizen Kane, but then that isn't what the film is trying to achieve. With a 6 pack in you though, it's highly enjoyable. - 4/5

TheUnknown837-1 "Blood Surf" (a.k.a. "Krocodylus") is one of those movies that you root for when you hear a plot description, because you are really hoping that this one will work. The basic idea is quite interesting. A new form of stunt television work, called Blood Surf, is created, in which surfers ride their boards through shark-infested waters. But instead of being chomped on by sharks, as we'd initially expect, they are hounded by a ferocious saltwater crocodile. Now that is a plot that we really want to go for. It sounds like a recipe for an enjoyable film. But alas, "Blood Surf" slam-dunks itself right into some foul water and sinks into the abysses because it suffers from the cinematic equivalence of schizophrenia. It has no idea what it should be, or more important, what it even wants to be.A full hour ellipses by the time we really start on the plot with the crocodile and by that time, the tone of the movie has undergone a one hundred-eighty-degree turn. It's at this point that we realize that "Blood Surf" is really supposed be a comedy rather than a straight shocker. So naturally, we would expect the first two-thirds to be the funny, whimsical bits and the last part straight, gruesome, and serious in mind.We would be wrong.Instead, writers Sam Bernard and Robert L. Levy decided to idiotically reverse this. If the entire movie was to be funny, you wouldn't be able to tell from the first hour. It's all down in tone and imitates realism. Then, when the crocodile appears it throws up some of the most ridiculously stupid and unbelievable twists intended to spawn laughter. For example, the crocodile chases our heroes on land but won't chase them through a river because supposedly there's chocolate plants in the water and "salties hate them!" A character quips, "I guess that's what you call croc-teasing" and the scene ends quickly, leaving us with our mouths agape. Only no sound is coming out. But the movie's ultimately lowest point is a juxtaposition of an attack by the crocodile and the lamest, most pathetic, most pointless sex scene possibly in movie history. I have griped about that cheap gimmick many times, but this is the one time where I really think it becomes almost criminally stupid.There are so many good ideas thrown shamefully to waste. The idea of blood surfing and then encountering a crocodile. The characters being captured by pirates. I was even willing to buy the redundant and monotonous subplot about the enraged, crusty sea captain wanting to hunt down the crocodile for revenge. Those are good ideas that are not developed well and this only increased by disdain for the movie. Performances, in general, are stiff but not awful, with only Ducan Regehr's being good enough to really be labeled acting. So lack of real talent in the cast does strike against it when it tries to be funny."Blood Surf" was directed by James D.R. Hickox, who made the pleasingly entertaining "Sabretooth" in 2002, so I was really hoping that this feature was going to realize its potential. But because of its lack of knowledge about itself and what it should go for, or what it even wants to go for, the picture collapses really hard and really fast. That great critic Gene Siskel once said that people should not remake classics, but bad movies, because any subject could be done well.Let's utilize his philosophy here.

ZaruenMakai I don't know what is with all the harsh ratings about this film but I actually really liked this film, as long as you don't take it too seriously. The Cast says some really cliché lines during the movie but it gives humor even in the most tense of situations.Each character has their own type of personality. the main character obviously represents the Hero. one of his friends (blonde dude), is the comic relief and the other one is the assumed prick always having to add stupidity and making a situation that cant be any worse, much worse. The main girl in the cast is kind of a prick but when push comes to shove she makes the right decision, she just has a bad influence by the other guy character, the prick not the blond. Than you have the Captain of the boat who always reminded me of the captain from Anacondas 2. (Johnny Messner)The Captain's girlfriend is the iconic stupid blond. There is also an Asian chick but shes basically just a bad girl that likes to have sex. The Crocodile itself is rather big and growls like the sharks in shark attack 2, but for a crocodile it is more believable to be growling than a shark which makes no noise that we can understand well enough since it is underwater.Although my rating might be bias because i watched it when i was a kid and it scared me because the croc was huge. When i watched it again i still prefer this movie over lake placid and Crocodile.
