kaefab From the first start of the music, to what ever happens you can clearly see they copied Jaws, a part from the very bad acting, the very bad special effects, and everything else, the movie is a disaster.The crocodile looks so fake, it looks like one of those giant inflated dolls you put into your swimming pool during summer time.The kills are almost all off screen too which make it even worst and they make sure to blow the monster right off the bat in the opening scene.I would love to recommend this type of so bad its good movie but sadly its not..... there is so much going on that you want to stop the movie and pop in the Jaws to see what a real monster movie looks like.Does not even deserve an A for effort.
moldwarrior While its not the greatest creature feature out there Killer Crocodile. It has the makings of decent Italian B-Movie however it fails for a few reasons. First the characters are extremely flat and feel forced when near the end. Plus most of them don't have a clear personality. The second reason it feels is due to the complete disregard for certain plot elements. The radioactive material is just skipped over from time to time. It wouldn't be so bad but they reference the stuff a few times. Finally the crocodile while it looks decent is by far the weakest part of the film. It's mouth just seems to open its mouth wide every time it eats. However it makes up for these things with the dubs very cheesy lines and over-the-top death for the crocodile.
gridoon After sitting through not one, but TWO crappy recent killer-crocodile flicks ("Crocodile" and "Blood Surf"), where the digitized croc looked like a four-year-old kid had painted him onto the film, I was hoping that "Killer Crocodile" would be a refreshingly old-school monster pic, with a refreshingly old-school, well-made mechanical monster. Alas, the croc in this movie may be mechanical, but it's not well-made. It's lifeless and stodgy. And it growls. "Killer Crocodile" would like to be an Italian "Jaws" (there is even a character here who's a BLATANT knock-off of the Robert Shaw character), but there's none of that film's artistry on display here. The other characters are a bunch of nobodies, and it takes them about half the movie to decide that, yes, although this croc may be a rare species, they do have to kill it before they become its next meal. I mean, ecological conscience is a fine thing, but it has its limits. (*1/2)
dogcow This film is the definition of comic badness. The croc changes sizes seemingly at random. In one scene it even looks about 20 feet tall. People fall in to the water for no particular reason and it's not even clear what country this is supposed to take place in. Fortunately the film is fun and fast paced so you can ignore some of the faults. The gore is plentiful and the animatronic crocodile by Gianetto De Rossi is pretty amazing for a movie with such a low budget (well at least we know where the money went). Thomas Moore's (Ennio Girolami) performance as Joe the grizzled croc hunter adds alot to the film also. Some imaginitive camerawork and a decent jaws ripoff score by Ortolani doesn't hurt things either.Overall a decent fun flick, just don't expect JAWS.Shot back-to-back with Killer Crocodile II
