Synopsis

A sleazy producer develops a concept he dubs "blood surfing" -- tossing bloody fish remains into the water to lure sharks and then surfing through the animals as they chomp about. Along with his camerawoman, the producer brings two thrill-seeking surfers to the coast of Florida to capture some gnarly footage. But, as they blood surf, they encounter something even more deadly: a colossal prehistoric crocodile intent on devouring them.

GL84 Arriving in Australia to shoot a documentary piece, the crew and the locals find the shoot has attracted the attention of a monstrous crocodile and must try to get away from the deadly creature before they become victims.A strangely fun entry, as there's very few solid points about this one that should make it as good as it really is. The fact that the attacks in here are among the film's best qualities is no surprise, as that's the main point in such a film, but by making them high-quality as they are it's a surprising quality, with all the dismembered limbs, superb crocodile animatronics and vicious deaths being dished out. On top of that, it's pretty creepy at points where it's still just a shadow stalking the group, and then it ramps up the action in the second half with several notable chase scenes that actually manage to get a jump every now and then from the action on-screen. That said, there's still some flaws here as the film is quite confusing with its story, since little is mentioned about the sport or what's so popular about it, or why it decides to throw in the pirates to the story when it never mentioned them beforehand and dispatches them shortly thereafter, creating a rather frantic story. Sure, the movie's cheesy beyond belief as well, but otherwise that's all that's wrong with it.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity, and a sex scene.
Wuchak Originally called "Krocodylus" and released in the US in 2001, "Blood Surf" is the wackiest crocogator flick I've seen. The plot throws in everything but the kitchen sink in its attempt to entertain; and the croc, when finally seen, is laughably fake-looking.The pitch-meeting for "Blood Surf" possibly went something like this: The pitcher excitedly describes the basic plot: "A couple of radical surfers go to a tropical island known for shark attacks so they can capture themselves on camera 'blood surfing' -- cutting their feet to bleed and wildly surfing the shark-infested waters." When he gets a silent reaction, he adds, "Okay, um, let's see... then this huge saltwater croc comes out of nowhere and starts eating the sharks... and proceeds to chase the surfers on to the island." More disinterest. "Where they encounter some Rambo-esque militarists and jungle booby traps a la Indiana Jones." More solemn looks. "In addition, the camera operator is a hot Aussie chick and there's also a hot island girl." An eyebrow or two stirs. "And one surfer has sex in the surf with the island chick and later discovers she's underaged." Eye's brighten. "On top of all that there's a Captain Ahab-like character who's hell-bent on killing the croc." More interest. "Who has a skinny girlfriend with a flat chest which she exposes every 10 minutes." Smiling faces. "She has a cool dance sequence at the pub-on-the-beach where the dudes ogle in fascination, even though she's really not sexy at all." Now the pitcher has their undivided attention. "And she and 'Ahab' have sex on the dock while she's bent over the railing." Enthralled. "And we'll throw in a score that sounds like the Beach Boys meets the 60's Batman theme." "What about the ending?" they ask. "The climatic stand-off will take place in some ancient ruins a la 'Congo'." Now totally hooked. "And even though the croc will be laughable and cheap we'll throw in a couple of 'Jaws' homages." The deal is made.That's pretty much "Blood Surf" in all it's low-budget, odd, irrational non-glory. But, hey, at least it tries hard to be entertaining.As for the un-sexy, too-skinny, flat-chested girl who keeps exposing herself and trying to be alluring, I couldn't help wonder why the filmmakers added her into the mix. It's really inexplicable since, although she's sorta pretty, she just doesn't cut it, if you know what I mean. But then it hit me that they already have the conventional hot babe (Kate Fischer) and the hot island girl (Maureen Larrazabal), so the creators were evidently giving a nod to all the skinny, non-curvy ladies out there. Not every woman can be Kim Kardashian, after all, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be given their honored due now and then, kind of like scraps from the table. Just joking. Hey, I'm sure there are some guys out there who find the skinny girl sexy. It takes all kinds to make a world. (And I'm not at all mocking flat-chested women since I don't mind women with small or no breasts, I even used to be involved with one; I'm talking about nigh-anorexic women with zero curves).The film runs 84 minutes and was shot in the Philipines.BOTTOM LINE: "Blood Surf" is not a good movie in any way, shape or form, but you gotta respect its exuberant attempts to amuse.GRADE: C- (but with solid entertainment value, IF you're in the right mode)
kirk-246 I enjoy monster movies as much as the next guy,and 'Blood Surf' is one of those movies that I enjoyed.But I have seen other movies about a giant man-eating crocodile that were slightly better.Examples of these would be 'Crocodile' and 'Lake Placid.'And there are some croc movies that are worse,such as 'Supercroc.'Anyway,I thought that 'Blood Surf' was a very entertaining monster movie.But why did this movie get a rating as low as a 3.Come on people,what's wrong with you?Don't you find people being ripped apart by a giant reptile in a horror movie a little enjoyable.Sure,I know that the croc kinda looked fake but just sit down and have a good time.
Daniel Filter (dafilter) A Movie about a bunch of some kind of filmmakers, who want to make a documentary on a new kind of surfing in shark-infested waters. As an absolute fan of movies including some kind of vicious animals or monsters, I thought this might be my kind of movie... it wasn't!!! This should be more of a guideline of how not to do it! It has a lot of accidental humor in it and the evil beast is an incredible joke, in the final scene it goes after the main characters *rolling*, the feet are obviously waving in the air! It looks ridiculous! Good for a laugh though. If it were only for the lack of talent between the actors, the embarrassingly stupid dialogs and the hilariously stupid crocodile, it would be at least worth a laugh, but it gets worse: I'd guess, the people in charge of this movie noticed how weak it was, so they though up the old idea of "sex sells"... Totally, i mean TOTALLY without any reasons one of the main actresses shows her breasts to the beast. And somewhere towards the beginning there's some kind of meaningless "makeout". This is the last ingredient making the movie absolute trash to me. It's incredible how people actually spend time producing such rubbish! If you are seeking for a real waste of time: watch this movie!!!
