Fright Night Friday Movie Review: Crocodile 2: Death Swamp

Spooky Greetings everyone!

It's time for another movie review!  This time I have dug deep into the vaults of Halloween Night and found an original movie review written by my co-owner, Chas, from 2006!!  This review is posted on our Yahoo group page.  I decided to dig up some of our old reviews so we would have them archived here on the blog as well!  Here is Chas with this week's review:

Crocodile 2: Death Swamp (2002)

Rated ‘R’ For violence/gore and pervasive language

PLOT DESCRIPTION: A band of black-garbed bank robbers packs up the loot from their latest bloody heist and heads for Mexico aboard a commercial airliner with passengers on holiday. When bad weather compels the pilot to turn the plane around, the bandits highjack it, taking it straight into a tremendous storm which causes the plane to crash into fiery pieces in a swamp. The survivors include only a few passengers, most of the bad guys, and a pretty flight attendant (Heidi Noelle Lenhardt), whose fiancé in Acapulco hires a renegade professional tracker (Martin Kove) to help him find the downed plane when the authorities prove useless. The rescuers had better hurry: The swamp is the home of a prehistoric-sized crocodile, and she's 1) angry, and, 2) hungry.

My Review

The plot of this movie sounded interesting. Seeing a prehistoric-sized crocodile going on a feeding frenzy sounded like a good movie to me. Granted movies like this are not top quality, but some do remind me of those ‘B’ movies of the fifties. I sat down and watched 95 minutes of a disastrous movie. There was very little story plot. They compensated this ghastly movie by over using pervasive language. I am not a prude, but hearing the ‘F’ word throughout the movie is way too much. The acting was terrible. Did these actors actually go to acting school? The crocodile was good, but I have seen much better effects in movies made many years ago. Not one scene of this movie did I enjoy. In my opinion the two writers (Jace Anderson and Adam Gierasch ) should find different careers than to torture us with such horrible movies. Gary Jones (who directed this lemon) should have been fed to the crocodile. STAY AWAY FROM THIS TURKEY!!! Out of the possible five skull rating, I am giving this terrible movie one skull. Believe me, I am being very generous. 

Wow, thanks Chas!  I can honestly say I think that's the first one skull rated review I've posted, and the only one so far!  This movie sounds terrible, thanks for warning us!!  Have any of you seen the movie?  What were your thoughts?  Remember, if you have a movie you'd like to review for our blog, please email me!  We would love to have more reviews!

Happy Hauntings!
