The "good" parts of this movie are just okay, and the rest of it is just a bunch of filler while you wait for what you really want to see: The Alligator. I mean, come on. Do we want to sit around and watch the lead whine and beg for help? That's what happens throughout too much of this. Dee Wallace, as much as I love her and her acting, couldn't save this. I kept waiting for the alligator to show up and do something, and had to slog through several unnecessary scenes to get to anything interesting. So much filler! Skip it.
