Supercroc

Plot synopsis:
A small group of soldiers is sent north of L.A. to find (and presumably destroy) a giant crocodile which lives in a lake. Why is the beast there? We don't know. And we won't know. After the first group is annihilated by the beast, another team is sent in the same location, and pretty much winds up like the first team. Meanwhile, some military "intelligence" (no, seriously... THAT is the intelligence? We're all doomed) keep an eye on the beast. Maybe. After an incredible chain of boring events, the crocodile comes out of the lake, eats someone (I guess - the crocodile seems to like walking and nothing much), and then finally heads to Los Angeles in pursuit of some of its eggs that have been taken away from its nest. Lack of action ensues. But at least at the end, the movie is over. And we are happy. Now, there is a hint of a possible "Supercroc 2." Now, if you love mankind, and the preservation of brain cells, start a petition to prevent this catastrophic event to happen.

Review:
But i LIKE bad movies......
Because there is true genius to be found in good BAD movies.
Different standards have to be applied to BAD movies.
Roger Corman made an entire career out of cranking out schlocky B monster movies that entertain a generation of film geeks.
It never aspires to be more then what it really is, a monster movie made for pennies on the dollar purely for the sake of killing the people off one by one.
I can handle stilted acting, cheesy special effects and extreme close-up to hide the fact that there isn't a cast of thousands in the crowd.
The reason for really low rating is because of the sound mix.Budget limitations might be an excuse for seeing matte lines or transparent effects.
Budget limitations might be an excuse for a lot of reasons but there is no excuse for the sound mix on this movie.
In one sequence near the end of the film where the two principals are obviously having a key discussion, the overdub of machine gun fire is so loud that you can't hear a word that they say.I was prepared to like this movie.
I expected a low-budget film and with that comes the expectations of less than stellar performances and effects.
The camera work was fine, the acting okay (from what I could tell from facial expressions), everything that you would expect but somewhere in post production this film was totally destroyed by somebody who thought loud music and gunfire was more important than anything else in the film.
At least they could have supplied a subtitle track or a close caption option so the viewer would at least have some way of knowing what the actors are supposed to be saying.Maybe the scifi channel can pick this up and give it a remix.
Great budget movie!.
Supercroc is one of those movies that doesn't quite motivate you enough to get up of the couch and turn and it off.The acting wasn't too bad I guess,but the CGI and the storyline were rotten!!!!Remember lake placid?
That movie had humour,decent effects,decent acting and although the storyline was unbelievable,it was enjoyable.Supercroc on the other hand left me feeling like I had wasted around 90mns of my life!The movie wasn't quite bad enough to motivate me to turn it off,I say not quite,but very,very close to it.
I just wanted it to finish so I could go to bed.If you love low budget,bad acting,terrible story lines etc..
I haven't seen crap like this in a looong time....
I found myself cheering every time the giant lizard ate another one of these crappy actors.Every line is a cliché, the effects are made on decade old computers, and the actors must have been friends of the director.
It really feels like a cheap TV-show on sci-fi channel or something, with special effects substandard to even high school media students.
Well well...my first 'review' on IMDb. Until now I've mostly read others opinions and reviews, usually ignoring well-meant and sincere advises to NOT watch certain movies.
Let me just say: I hope I can spare some people 90 minutes of utter misery by saying DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!
I'm quite a fan of this type of movies, where usually some kind of animal or creature, created by some chemical waste or awakened from a centuries long slumber, is threatening a crew or city and killing/destroying everything in it's wake.
I'm used to such movies not rating too high on IMDb as well.
imagine a 100foot crocodile making it's way into the water, without even the slightest ripple in the water surface; amazing?
Not as amazing as how it stampedes around noisy like a herd of mammoths in one scene, yet manages to sneak up on our brave heroes without a sound in the next.One other annoying thing was the sound; I don't know if my sound system was mucking up on me, but 3/4 of the dialogs were impossible to hear if you don't want to actively raise and lower your volume continuously.
Especially when a 'background' music or tune is playing (which is most of the time), it becomes impossible to hear what is being said.
Learn to read lips or make sure you have the subtitles on.Ah to cut it short, this really is a miserable attempt at a movie.
Feel absolutely free to watch it, but don't say you weren't warned..
Gunfire sounds added to the soundtrack leaves the audience wondering if one of the very dumb characters might have said something that could be quoted later.
The female star shouts her lines and she manages to irritate the audience when she cries or argues or even when she says nothing.
I generously give this two stars because I think something worse is waiting for me to watch that I could give a one star rating.
These people will make a movie again if we don't stop them in Oxnard or Point Magu, they could reach Los Angeles and lay eggs..
When a gigantic crocodile begins heading toward the city of Los Angeles to recover a batch of stolen eggs, a military group must head into action to keep the creature at bay before it causes untold destruction.This one ended up being a massive disappointment as a horror film though there's some good stuff overall here.
One of the biggest positives here is the absolutely fun and cheesy creature attacks here that make this much more fun than expected.
It's presented pretty much as one long action sequence here from the start, with the opening encounters in the forest where the opening ambush and later discovery of the eggs in the secret cavern are great at introducing the creature's size and habitat out in the woods as well as the military attacks that result in the discovery of the creature which goes deep into the forest for some really fun action to start this off.
That follows into the film's best parts and what really fuels the film in that it turns into a giant monster movie with a cheesy bent as there's a lot of fun here in the continued military attacks from ground troops firing off at it through the forest to the exciting attacks that take place in the march to the city as there's an air-strike, a series of helicopter assaults and a final attack during the full-on city destruction scene which allows this one to get plenty of fun in the cheesy destruction moments of the panicked crowed fleeing that the film becomes enjoyable because of this extended kind of scene.
While it's the film's best part, it's also one of the most damaging in that that the kind of giant monster film that it becomes, there's just very little horror elements present since the croc is so much bigger than it should be and it doesn't really attack anyone.
Instead, it's pretty much attacked all the way through with the kind of extended, drawn-out scenes here of the military brass meeting to discuss what to do with it and determining what kind of creature this is that the pace is built away even from a horror film that it drops down a lot from these issues.
That brings the film along with nice monster movie action but not as much works here as a horror film with a croc so big it can't attack anyone in the city destruction scenes since there's no one around and the rest of the plot tends to revolve around the same scenes of military tactical decision making.
The last part that lowers this one is the rather lame and embarrassing-styled CGI here for the croc as it doesn't really look all that great with the usual amount of flaws here in the failure to interact with the surroundings, the complete inability to blend together to the action presented and generally coming across with the same level of detail as decades-old video games which have long been a staple of such films and continues on in here.
Great B Movie.
It reminds me of those "B" sci-fi movies that were produced in the 1950's about giant ants, and grasshoppers and things.

Anyway, Supercroc is a budget film by Asylum pictures starring Cynthia Rose Hall and Matt Blashaw.

The writing wasn't bad either but I got the feeling that maybe some of this movie was left on the cutting room floor which is too bad because it would have helped the continuity of the story if left in.

In my opinion, if you enjoy watching these kinds of movies then you'll like this one too!.
In my opinion, if you enjoy watching these kinds of movies then you'll like this one too!.
Let me start by saying I usually like films of this caliber due to the often unintentional comedy.
However this film is just boring, plain and simple.No decent kill scenes, bland and boring score, Shaquile O Neal type acting, large amount of stock footage, horrific CGI croc and several moments of complete silence due to improper sound mixing (a lot of the time you can hear gunshots, but no-one is firing).
Most of the time you can't hear the dialogue, except for the Wilhelm screams.
The acting is competent, with Kim Little (sort of resembles a Faith Ford and Elisabeth Shue hybrid which is kind of cool), playing her cards close to her chest as Government palaeontologist called in to advise on a giant crocodile that's been unearthed by an earthquake, threatening coastal towns en route to LA.
Soldiers in the field (Hall & Blashaw) are being pursued by the indestructible behemoth with General (Novak), Little's character and other assorted advisors frantically co-ordinating efforts to control the beast's path of destruction from HQ.It's all digital camcorder, CGI, synthesiser-sound, cheap home movie stuff, and while the performances are probably better than average for this type of production, the overall result is lacklustre.
A raft of audio-visual tricks that don't paper over the budget holes, no realistic interaction between actors and the title antagonist, MTV-style light, sound and editing techniques, masses of stock footage but most disappointing of all, precious little horror or suspense.It's the kind of movie that looks conceived and executed by visual artists instead of storytellers, all smoke & mirrors sans substance..
The cover of the Australian DVD sports the tag line "Original Uncut Version" and it is rated "M" (presumably for mature audiences) for "coarse language".
I haven't watched any other version, just this Australian DVD, so I cannot say what, if anything, has been cut from other versions.
The sole reason I recommend this Australian DVD is the great art on the cover!
There is nothing else to recommend about this movie, just DVD cover art, and only the Australian DVD at that....
SUPERCROC ( theasylum.cc ) Starring; Kim Little & Marat Glaser.
The acting is quite good whoever thought of making the bosse's wife the bad-guy was VERY comfortable with his job,LOL.
Cynthia Rose Hall has a lot of acting skill, Seemed to carry the film along at times.
A very boring killer Crocodile movie..
Are crocodiles really easy villains for Low Budget, Straight to video, Horror movies?
The characters in this movie are shockingly, horrifyingly, unbelievably forgettable, bricks are more interesting.
The story itself is contrived, poorly written, poorly acted, and just down right boring.
The special effects are bad, though to be fair I'd be lying if I said I thought that wouldn't be so.
Overall, this is a very boring movie.
Best Comedy Monster Movie That I Have Seen!.
*****************My wife and I really are into Creature movies like SuperCroc.
When we also saw that this one was from Asylum films, we knew we were in for a treat!
This film was so horrid it wound up being entertaining.
Let's analyze this to see just how it succeeds so well in its badness.Camera work: I swear this thing must have been filmed using a cheap video camera and the sound must have been recorded that way as well.
It's too bad, because the sound recording is so terrible you really need subtitles to pick up any dialogue.
Fortunately, most Creature Features don't rely on the dialogue to move the story along.
This is before our Feature Creature makes her debut in one of the most badly done mixing of CGI with film that I have ever seen.
Instead of rising gradually out of the water, the Croc just appears in the background as if the background is a scrim and it is being ripped open to reveal --- Crocodile!!!!
Back at the Command Post, there is a character who is some kind of expert on crocodiles (although most of the factoids she blurts out are full of inaccuracies and distortions) - the real croc expert seems to be the female private introduced in the first scene.
The Creature's origins are never explained it just gets killed after chewing up a lot of people, scenery and equipment.
Somehow, she knows a lot about crocodiles from growing up wherever she grew up.
She manages to help kill the critter at the end and lives to tell about it.Acting: mostly bad, but campy.Directing: this thing had a director?
Editing: stock footage obtained from the military was obviously used, but to little effect because it really added nothing to the story.
This added to the overall comedic effect.All in all, such an incredibly dreadful combination that it was hilarious to watch.
Definitely a must for those Rotten Movie Connoisseurs out there!.
One of the worst movies I've spent my time on...
This might not be a really good review, but a movie this bad shouldn't get one..Worst and slowest start EVER..
This goes on for 6-7 minutes and you're almost sleeping, right up until the crappy special effects kicks in and the sergeant freezes up and screams the name of the first dead guy, instead of shooting the damn croc..
I'm talking about really crappy effects, the discovery channel When Dinosaurs Walked, they were better made than this..
He sees it, falls back, CUT scene, let the audience think of some gruesome death in their heads..
The amount of shots fired in this movie is also incredible..
:'(I even suspect the movie of using some game voices..
Death cries and screams..Don't even rent this movie...
This movie is the "Robot Monster" of the 20th century, except not as funny.
The special effects in the scene where the crocodile jumps up and attacks the helicopter are absolutely the worst CGI I have ever seen!
The crocodile's first scene makes it look like a giant floating turd or a piece of cardboard.
Also, the movie has the traditional bad-B-movie "scientist" who knows nothing about her field.
She keeps referring to the croc as an "archosaur" as if that was a specific kind of prehistoric crocodile.
Even worse, the only reason the crocodile doesn't get bombed from the air is that it keeps disappearing.
The military can't find a 100-foot crocodile in the area around Los Angeles?
I didn't know there were that many vast wildernesses there, or that a whale-sized crocodile was so good at hiding (on land, no less!)Finally, for a monster movie, there isn't nearly enough action.
I like mindless action movies, but this is kind of boring.
All the inaccuracies and dumbnesses, maybe even the horrid special effects, could be forgiven if it was at least exciting - but no!
It isn't even a good "mindless action movie".
The only real "action" scene is right at the end when the croc gets blown up..
Should be re-named to: 'Superbad Movie'.
This movie is boring, bad audio, effects, cgi, acting, plot, storyline, and music.
The music is copied from other 'asylum' films.
i only watched it for the crocodile eating up the people.
I kept having to fast-forward ten minutes of the movie every five minutes.
Thus, making it only 40-50 minutes to watch it.
The tag line should be 'Now available in other peoples garbage cans because this movie is idiotic and a complete waste of time.' because that is absolutely true in every way imagined.
It is a very great way to waste 90 minutes of your life!!!
Huge crocodile baffles the military..
The Asylum presents a film so bad it is not even fun to laugh at.
Obvious low budget, lame script and bad over-acting.
A 50-foot-long crocodile emerges from a river near Los Angeles.
Before all but one(Cynthia Rose Hall) is gobbled up by the Supercroc, three-foot-long eggs are found in open view.
Of course, there just happens to be a "croc" expert(Kim Little)right there at command center to advise the military.
This movie insults even the intelligence challenged..
2nd worst B movie of the past seven years..
I watch all types of movies and the only other one I turned off was "Grand Opening." Truly horrible viewing.
Bad acting.
The viewer has no clue what's going on except for remembering what the title of the movie is.
Then the beastie finally pops-up and that's when the movie should end.
Do not spend your time or money on this movie.
