Product Description
Big animal horror directed by Tobe Hooper. 100 years ago, Lake Sobek was a tourist attraction due to the presence of an enormous Nile crocodile. However, when the creature went beserk one night and ate nearly everyone in sight, the locals burnt down everything, including the lake's hotel. Cut to the present day and a group of friends are moored on the banks of the lake. When one of the party discovers a crocodile nest, he steals an egg and plants it in his girlfriend's rucksack as a joke. What he does not realise is that the mother crocodile has been watching him all along...

I bought this dvd...because I love the animal killer genre but when I watched this dvd I couldn`t stop laughing!
It was a pretty cool film but watching teenagers standing there screaming for ages, even though the crocodile isn`t anywhere near them was hysterical! Like this one girl who gets her leg caught in a tree trunk screams and screams before the crocodile is in sight and then it comes opens it`s mouth wide and she falls in (basically!). The story wasn`t very good. But it was a good film there is a couple of jumps, and some cool scenes!
Worth a rent out with mates for a laugh but is a fairly good horror movie!

This film could have been a classic the story and action, location were almost there. The acting was watchable but the crocodile let the film down badly it was so plastic it was a joke. If you see it cheap like I did it's worth a watch otherwise please don't waste your money on this film there are better out there.

Out of all the Hollywood dvds I have seen this is probobly the only decent one.The film was good but was very slow at the start.The film is nothing you would ever expect from director Tobe hooper who made some great horror films like Salem's Lot, The Texas chainsaw masacre and Poltergeist.I thought the film was alright but not as good as Lake placid, if you really want a scary creature feature try Jaws, The Birds, Tremors or Alien.

You gotta love films this bad 'cause they're so funny, more laughs than a comedy more debates than an episode of jerry springer(which i don't watch) Awesome just don't watch it alone or you'll have no-one to laugh with or point out the glaring mistakes with, which makes it worthless.

Seriously awful film - but if, like me, you enjoy watching bad monster movies and laughing at the hammy acting and dreadful CGI, this will not disappoint.

A group of students go to a remote lake where, after someone tampers with a nest of crocodile eggs, the parent croc starts going on a mad rampage.
Alright, so these kinds of films don't need complicated plots. But this is one of the best "killer reptile" films out there. Directed by horror veteran Tobe Hooper, it's a masterpiece of suspence with some well-staged shocking moments. The characters are all well-written and well-defined, from the naive teenagers to the dry-humoured Sheriff and the ghoulish animal keepers. A great film, all in all. It's genuinely tense and frightening without being too nasty, and it will keep you hooked.

Wasted £5 on this in a shop, as a fan of Tobe Hoopers work I thought I'll get that I bet it's brilliant. How wrong I was. The acting is terrible the story is predictable and the special effects are shockingly poor. Don't buy it haha

A load of croc!
A good story but I have to agree - crocodile wasn't very convincing - worth a watch all the same.
