Satellite imagery causes a furor in the military. There is something moving up the coast. A team is sent to investigate and it is learned there is a giant crocodile (100 feet long) on the loose. It is quick and deadly. It also seems to have armor tough enough to stop anything that can be thrown at it. A rescue team is sent to extract the original team. They discover that there seems to be a third party involved that is interested in the croc. Then the croc begins moving closer to a population center.

The crocodile advances and the military tries to stop it. Shadowy scientist have their own agenda. Meanwhile the original survivors of the field team and rescue team take it upon themselves to try and stop the giant reptile. Plans are made and carried out. Some work and some do not. The end is a little silly and the final teaser is predicable.

The staging really reminds me of The Thing Below. The special effects are often deplorable. Specifically the first appearance as the croc comes out of the water and a later shot where is goes into the water by fading into complete transparency (a rubber toy going in and out of the water would have looked better). One of the main characters grew up in Florida and is therefore an expert on crocs (pity that Florida is alligator country). I was also amazed at the stupidity of the scientists. All in all a pretty laughable movie suited for late night and not much else.

I only watched the first 20 min of this movie (20 more than I should have), and it was TERRIBLE! The acting is bad, the croc is stupid looking, and the storyline deplorable. Don't waste your time watching this movie, trust me.

After the first two minutes of the film I cut it off. The acting was substandard and the effects were a joke. I fast forwarded through it just to feel like I did not spend the money for nothing. However, I could have watched the whole thing to completion and still felt I was cheated. You would be better off watching an old fifties horror or sci-fi. Just another of those low budget deals you pick off the shelf at blockbuster and take a chance. Save yourself the disappointment I took the chance for you.

Notice all the alleged "children reviews" here? Each giving this Asylum movie 5 stars! Is this the new plan, to have the fake reviews written by "kids" in an attempt to fool the public? Guestar57 must finally be getting help giving his company exposure here on Amazon.

THANK GOD for the Half Price Book store on 76th street. That is where I bought this awful DVD. The best part is that the store had a 20% sale on all items and I found this dreadful movie in the discount DVD section, it was priced at $2, which should have given me the first clue to stay away from it but than they took 20% off that price so I thought that even if it is was bad I would still be somewhat entertained.

The Croc scientific "expert" said it was virtually indestructible using modern day weapons but this movie was so bad that I didn't even watch to see how the Croc was killed; I'd rather just not know. Without watching the end of this dreadful movie I can now fanaticize it making its way all the way to LA and destroying everything, I'm even thinking of expanding my fantasy to have the stolen eggs hatch and continue up the coast to eat everyone in San Francisco as well.

Now THAT would make a good ending.

I have had the unfortunate instance of seeing this movie twice. It is actually worse the second time around and it was horrible the first time. There is literally nothing good I can say about this movie (well, not quite true, the croc looked realistic, despite it being clearly greenscreened into every scene). The acting is terrible, the special effects are worse, the direction is amateurish at best, the storyline is mindbogglingly stupid, and it is amazingly boring. The only reason I watched it twice was because the first time I couldn't stay awake and kept dozing off. I figured, maybe I was just tired and missed the good parts. But no, I actually saw the good parts the first time.

One thing another reviewer commented on, which I heartily agree, is that in giant crocodile movies, one expects to see people eaten by the giant crocodile. What we see here is a crocodile wandering around, soldiers shooting at something offscreen, and the croc is killed by an explosion OFFSCREEN. All we see is blood being splashed around a corner and a very poor shot of the aftermath that looks like a photoshopped image done by someone who was just learning how to do it.

I cannot critiize this movie enough. At my college, they have an annual contest for the film students, in which each group of students (generally 4-5) are given a genre, a few sentences of dialogue and 72 hours to write and produce a short film. What they come up with is consistently better than any ten minutes of this movie. Supercroc has made my top ten list of worst movies ever made (worst as in just plain awful, not so bad it is funny, just so bad that it is an irritant to watch).

that and the beginning quick fake digital croc scenes til almost to end of film. it gets a star only cuz of the last few endin mins. when the croc looks really good, its best. thats the only thin i like bout dis fim. lousy movie when it lacks this much visual crocstar action; thats just always been the problem w/ these type films genre i like so much hopin the right producer just keeps usin the star monster more and visual enough correct.

this was not a terrible movie but not to good either acting is alright.it is not a horror movie it is an adventure movie .

this movie is cool it has
gore,creature violence,
explosions.and the most
important thing a kinda
good ending.so do more
good reviews then bad ok.

This is seriously one of the worst films I ever seen.

It is unfair to even call this a real movie. It employs NO professional actors, writers, and most embarrassingly NO cinematographer, editor or boom mike operator. Not even a tripod and a boom mic.

This seriously looks like some people with a free weekend broke out a camcorder and started shooting.

As I said, the camera is NOT even on a tripod, it is just carried around by hand. Worse there is no editing. So when one character speaks the shot does not cut to him, instead the camera man amateurishly pans (although he doesn't really pan) over to the speaking character.

This results in the viewer quickly getting sea sick.

Sound wise it is embarrassing as clearly professional sound equipment was NOT used. Thus the outdoor scenes contain the static of the outdoors, which the try and fail to cover up with an overly loud score. (I guess they did actually have a musical score or buy the rights to one.)

The indoor sound is even more embarrassing as we have constant echoes.

Bottom line, this is NOT even a real movie. Don't even consider seeing it.
