Review
Penned
by a young John Sayles, who'd written the Jaws
spoof
Piranha two years earlier, this is a mildly amusing fantasy in
the same vein as the two before-mentioned films. Admittedly, Alligator
helps itself to more creative liberties (read: illogicalities) than its
counterparts, but thrust forward by a young, sexy and shamelessly
talented Robert Forster, the film has drive and some useful scares and
thrills. That is, until it dries out and becomes standard and dull.
