"It lives 50 feet beneath the city. It's 36 feet long. It weighs 2,000 pounds...And it's about to break out!"

Overview

A baby alligator is flushed down a toilet and survives by eating discarded lab animals that have been injected with growth hormones. The now gigantic animal escapes the city sewers and goes on a rampage, pursued by a cop and a big-game hunter.

Written on February 14, 2018

Genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. The best giant croc (Well I mean, it's an alligator, but in terms of what you can do with them in a horror movie, they're really the same thing) creature feature I've seen since _Rogue_. I wish someone was still making movies like this.

_Final rating:★★★½ - I really liked it. Would strongly recommend you give it your time._
