Suprisingly good and enjoyable monster movie about a gigantic croc, nicknamed Ramon, that grows to an inordinate size by feeding on the corpses of pets used in hormones experiments , with acceptable special effects that are main distraction in this witty- eco-monster take. Entertaing and curious script by the prestigious John Sayles, reworking his plot 1978 Piranha directed by Joe Dante. Adding an ecological denounce and sour critique to lab experiments, and scientific research leading to a dangerous freak of nature, as the croc devours the animal remains of a chemical plant 's experiment involving growth hormones and eventually starts swelling at a huge rate. The result is an unpretentious, agreeable and effective treat. It packs a fine main cast as Robert Forster and Robin Riker, they are well accompanied by a good support cast such as Michael V Gazzo, Henry Silva, Jack Carter, Angel Tompkins, Perry Lang, Sydney Lassick and Sue Lyon who recently passed away, too. This Alligator 1980 had a sequel : Alligator 2 mutation 1990 directed by John Hess , it was a passable and bland rehash dealing with the toxic croc menacing an easy community, and displaying a nice cast such as Steve Railsback, Dee Wallace Stone, Joseph Bologna, Brock Peters, Richard Lynch.
The motion picture was well directed by Lewis Teague. He is a good craftsman who has directed various successful action, adventure, terror, thriller movies such as Lady in red, Fighging back, Cujo, The jewel of the Nile, Cat's eye, Collision curse, Navy Seals, Saved by the light, The triangle, among others.
