LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

chalcedonydream I found this pretty average sy-fy/horror weirdly captivating and unlike some quite comical in parts.The alligators mostly didn't look particularly realistic to me though. The original premise of chucking toxic blue moonshine into the river and that creating mutant alligators was promising, also had a synchronising with the blue meth in Breaking Bad for me. Then, when that went on to alligator bites turning humans into alligators it foreshadowed Christopher Berry going on to make an iconic appearance in The Walking Dead.Highlight for me was the much underrated Christopher Berry (The Walking Dead & Free State of Jones) looking particularly cute, until he turned gator. I know I shouldn't have, but I howled with laughter when he threw the dog into the gator's mouth.I have watched this film 3 times now and it just gets better and better, hence I have revised my rating and my review accordingly. I honestly believe this will eventually become a cult classic.

alex wolfman Even though they reach a limited audience, 2013 has been the year for Syfy films. With it's original name, Sci-fi, it's was a channel in the beginning that brought us reruns of old films and some original films that didn't really have an audience. As time went on, the channel delivered some popular TV shows including Ghost Hunter and also cult shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Firefly. In 2010, it made a drastic change when it broadcasted WWE Smackdown drawing in the wrestling audience. Through the power of social media including twitter in 2013, it's original film Sharknado was a major hit that brought much more attention to the channel. Because of the Sharknado hit, their films are finding more of a audience. These films are very strange and all over the spectrum including Aladdin and the Death Lamp, Ghost Shark and Flying Monkeys. Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators is another film to add to this strange collection.Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators is set in the swaps of Louisiana where a Cajun redneck community finds themselves getting attacked by strange killer gators. These gators are far from typical, quite dangerous and more than what they seem.Like Sharknado and Ghost Shark, there is a definite lack of budget but an extra effort by the filmmakers to make this work is evident. There are Cajun rednecks that are funny and kind of realistic, mutant gators, and a Romeo and Juliet love story involving feuding families. It's all a unique and interesting combination.Unlike the Ghost Shark and Shakando, we don't care much about these characters. Attractive lead character, Jordan Hinson plays Avery from one of the feuding families but nothing memorable really comes from her performance. Her love interest, Tristan (Victor Webster) is a character who is frankly limited and who we don't really root for even though he is in danger from the gators throughout. The only positive person who steals the show is Michael Baird who plays Avery's father Dale. He has an excellent Cajun accent and is a charismatic "life of the party" kind of character who kind of steals the show.For what it is trying to be, Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators should have been better. It has a good original idea and tries to go with it but falls a little flat because I think it tries to do much. Because of that, I think it is probably the weakest Syfy films of 2013.

SanteeFats I read GL84's nine star review and he is an idiot. This is another stupid Syfy movie. First how can bad moonshine mutate gators and not other species? Then there is the Romeo and Juliet aspect between two feuding families. One guy is in love with the daughter of the other side. The mutated creatures can whip some kind of killer stuff with their tails plus have some red coloration that I guess is suppose to come from the moonshine. Hence the redneck gator part of the title, I guess. This moonshine of course comes from one to the two feuding families. Now the two feuding maybe lovers go looking for the problem and gee they find it. My isn't it amazing that their boat manages to start when they need to rescue some family? Lucien's wife is a real piece of work. I did love the plan of distraction the guy had when he threw the mutt to the gator. While not PC it was really funny. The Gator Whisperer is another idiot but gets his. Unfortunately his entire crew gets hammered before that happens. Of course the bites are toxic and here it gets Syfy stupid. It turns out the bit turns the bitee into gator clones and everything gets even more stupid from there. I was glad to see a black man as the sheriff and he didn't die first. This is just a stupid unbelievable plot.

suite92 Cajun accents? They come, they go, they are never very good.Avery comes back to the swamp, to her family, after four years in college. She's a vegan now, which gives an extra layer of problems dealing with a hunting, carnivorous culture.Pluses: the gators have red necks and spiked tails.Minuses: bad banjo playing, bad accents, Avery's sudden, complete switch to 'kill them all' after she sees a giant gator kill someone she's known for years; more bad banjo playing; badly motivated clan feud, Doucette versus Robichaud; more blue tongues than were strictly needed.So, bad moonshine dumped in the swamp water seems to be changing the gators. People who eat the gator meat or get deep wound from live gators change into gators.After an early success against the gators, the two clans degenerate in to drunken stupidity again. The human-to-gator changes start.Avery's father had a gold tooth; his gator form has a gold fang. Avery catches that, just before he pulls her out of the quicksand. The non-biological gold tooth changing shape makes about as much sense as the humans turning into gators, or the moonshine doing the first conversion.One minute Avery is dead set against killing gators since they are probably her family. The next minute, she's killing three of them by blowing up a gas tank.In the end, about all the remaining Doucettes are gators, while the Robichauds are out to kill them. Avery tries to protect her father-turned-gator, but that is not to be.Cinematography: 10/10 Sharp.Sound: 10/10 Fine.Acting: 2/10 Mostly bad. Lines delivered badly, accents out of kilter. Candy was a hoot.Screenplay: 4/10 There's a story to tell, and it moves from beginning to middle to end. The gaffes mentioned above are hard to forget, however.
