AMAZINGLY GOOD!!!,
By
This review is from: Alligator/ Alligator 2 - The Mutation [1990] [DVD] [1980] (DVD)
I never really liked much of the 80's apart from a nightmare on elm street and afew others! This however was fab!!! In 'Alligator' a pet alligator is flushed down the toilet. Once in the sewers it feeds on contaminated dog flesh used in illegal experiments. Mutated by chemicals it stands thirty-six feet long with an insatiable appetite for flesh. 'Alligator 2' sees the continued fight against the mutant alligator in the sewers. This time the task is assigned to a cop and his rookie assistant. Very gor, but not scary, highly fun!!! I RECCOMEND THIS!!!

Alligator -A Classic With Plenty Of Bite!,
By Sarah (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alligator/ Alligator 2 - The Mutation [1990] [DVD] [1980] (DVD)
I remember seeing this film years ago,so when I spotted it on Amazon I just had to buy it.It is a classic if not predictable type of horror movie,although by todays standards probably a bit tame. The plot is very good with plenty of gore along the way. Alligator 2, which is also in this set is a poor attempt at a sequel.It just doesn't compare to the original.The acting and the story is very weak.If you buy this as I did purely for the original Alligator film then you won't be dissapointed. As with many sequel films the first is in this case always going to be the best.

Great creature feature double bill - almost,
By ergoatlantis (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alligator/ Alligator 2 - The Mutation [1990] [DVD] [1980] (DVD)
After the success of Jaws, it was inevitable that the imitations would follow. Usually that means cheap script, wooden acting and laughable special effects. This double-bill bucks that trend and although well made, it has to be said that Alligator is the superior of the two while Alligator 2 - The Mutation is somewhat mundane.
Alligator is based on the myth that alligators which were bought as pets and had outgrown their homes were flushed down the toilet and had now grown to giant proportions. What could be more frightening than the thought of a giant predator living beneath your feet, ready to break out at any moment and start chewing on unsuspecting residents? The special effects are superb, no CGI back then so a giant alligator, fully functioning was built for some of the attack shots. Then the cast put in a fine turn, most notably Henry Silva as the inebriate, arrogant white hunter who doesn't realise what he is up against. This is horror/comedy at its best and in my opinion is more entertaining than Jaws. Alligator 2 - The Mutation is not actually a sequel but a film in the Jaws mould. A giant predator turns up at a small town just as the residents are preparing for the annual town fair, which just happens to take place by the lake. Of course there is the town mayor who will let nothing get in the way of this annual money-spinner as well as the corrupt developers who want a return on their investment. The final production feels like it was made as a TV movie with some clips from the first film edited into this one. Not as good as the first one but as a double-bill it is worth checking out.
