Yesterday I featured the recent killer gator movie Crawl, which is available on both Hulu and Amazon Prime. Maybe you’d like to pair that one with a more old school example though. Prime has been, er, snapping up a multitude of killer gator/croc and shark movies, dozens of them. Most, obviously, are recent movies with CGI beasties, the main sin of which is that they move way too damn fast and thus clearly lack the mass of a giant critter. The second sin of them is that giant prop monsters are just cooler. Don’t argue with me, it’s Science. So if you have Prime and want to watch Crawl and another flick, try The Great Alligator, a really cheesy (gee, who’d thought) Italians Jaws rip-off from 1979. Ah, that’s the stuff.
