Nice effects though.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

This Italian "Jaws" knock-off really only has one redeeming feature, so I might as well open with it: the croc is real! Well, not real real, but I mean that it isn't a cheap CGI effect like in "Blood Surf" or God forbid "Crocodile". The puppet they use can't really move well, but at least it's actually freakin' there. It even looks pretty scary from time to time, they really did an excellent job with such a limited budget. It's just too bad they couldn't use the model in a better movie, because all other aspects of "Killer Crocodile" are well below average. The characters are annoying, the dialogues are uninspired and the story developments are all lifted directly from "Jaws". They even bring in a blatant Quint rip-off just for those who don't catch on quickly. Hell, even the music is just John Williams' theme with one or two different notes to avoid a lawsuit. In the end there are no scares, no real memorable scenes and a pretty boring finale but like I said, the puppet's damn cool. It might be worth a watch just because of that, and also for the rare "so bad it's good" moment.

While its not the greatest creature feature out there Killer Crocodile. It has the makings of decent Italian B-Movie however it fails for a few reasons. First the characters are extremely flat and feel forced when near the end. Plus most of them don't have a clear personality. The second reason it feels is due to the complete disregard for certain plot elements. The radioactive material is just skipped over from time to time. It wouldn't be so bad but they reference the stuff a few times. Finally the crocodile while it looks decent is by far the weakest part of the film. It's mouth just seems to open its mouth wide every time it eats. However it makes up for these things with the dubs very cheesy lines and over-the-top death for the crocodile.

After sitting through not one, but TWO crappy recent killer-crocodile flicks ("Crocodile" and "Blood Surf"), where the digitized croc looked like a four-year-old kid had painted him onto the film, I was hoping that "Killer Crocodile" would be a refreshingly old-school monster pic, with a refreshingly old-school, well-made mechanical monster. Alas, the croc in this movie may be mechanical, but it's not well-made. It's lifeless and stodgy. And it growls. "Killer Crocodile" would like to be an Italian "Jaws" (there is even a character here who's a BLATANT knock-off of the Robert Shaw character), but there's none of that film's artistry on display here. The other characters are a bunch of nobodies, and it takes them about half the movie to decide that, yes, although this croc may be a rare species, they do have to kill it before they become its next meal. I mean, ecological conscience is a fine thing, but it has its limits. (*1/2)

This a horror movie but I've never seen a movie so funny. People fall in the water but there is no reason to fall, heroes don't make the difference between a tree and the crocodile. The most wonderful stuff is the internal view of the crocodile. You MUST see it to believe it.10/10
