Description:
Twelve years ago two incidents occurred which bore no similarity until now. After returning from their Florida vacation, the Kendal family decided their pet baby alligator was too much of a nuisance and flushed him down the toilet. At the same time, Slade Laboratories was conducting secret hormonal experiments with dogs and the dead dogs were disposed of in the city sewer. The baby alligator fed on the dead dogs... and after twelve years its body chemistry took on grotesque mutations. When several brutal murders are discovered, David Madison is put on the case to find the so-called Jack-the-Ripper killer. But this is no human psychopath - it is a ravaging animal-turned-monster bent on destroying everything in its wake.

Rating: - I'll have an alligator sandwich, and make it snappy!!! ; - ).
This great and underrated 80's horror flick finally gets released on dvd and has got to be one of the best creature feature films I have ever seen.

My Son loved this movie.....of course, you have to like movies of this type, and he does. He has watched it over and over again already.
As always, Amazon had our order here very fast......we are pleased!!
Rating: - The only GREAT alligator movie.
Sure, this movie is as old as I am and F/X are pretty outdated. So what! Alligator is awesome. The use of real alligators was smart thinking. The fake alligator does not look all that bad, but you can still tell it's fake. The gore in this movie is done pretty well, you get to see a man get eaten whole body and all, body parts, lots of blood, the alligator crashes a wedding and goes on a bloody rampage. Skip Lake Placid if you want to see a good alligator horror movie. This is the one.
Rating: - Who cares about the alligator, Robin Riker is in this film!!
As the title would suggest, "Alligator" (1980) is a "Jaws" rip-off nature-runs-amok flick, but "Alligator" only plays it semi-serious and is, in fact, a semi-spoof of "Jaws." You'll even hear Jaws-imitation suspense music as the creature approaches and attacks.
THE PLOT: A baby alligator is flushed down the toilet and mutates to great size from eating chemically contaminated dog carcasses in the sewers. A policeman and a beautful reptile expert team up to kill the beast after it starts ... Read More
