Better Late Then Never

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The first movie of Alligator is very scary. This is scarier. This a very underrated movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also has great special effects. Only some one who does not know a good horror movies when they see it would hate this movie. Any one who likes horror stories should see this movie.

After being exposed to toxic chemicals an alligator, residing in the sewage system of a nearby city, increases in size and begins to threaten the inhabitants who are unaware of its existence. To make matters worse one of the few people who becomes aware of this monster, "Detective David Hodges" (Joseph Bologna) cannot convince those in charge to take it seriously. He does, however, manage to get a couple of people to help most notably his wife, "Christine Hodges" (Dee Wallace) and a rookie cop named "Rich Harmon" (Woody Brown). Eventually, other important characters also become involved but their concerns aren't necessarily the same as his. At any rate, while the movie was okay for the most part I thought it happened to be missing one very important ingredient—suspense. As a result, while the actors performed well enough the overall impact of the movie was somewhat subdued and it never quite realized its full potential. What could have been a very good movie turned out to be slightly less than average. In short, I suppose it's worth a look for viewers who enjoy movies of this nature as long as they don't expect too much.

Vinnie Brown (Railsback) is the evil real estate developer who has dumped toxic chemicals into the sewer which has spawned another giant Alligator that promptly starts chewing up the town. Brown and the greedy Mayor (Bill Daily) obviously try to keep it quiet from the public, but the rogue police officer (Bologna) has other plans which involve blowing the whistle on the evil duo. This movie plays more like a remake of the 1981 original "Alligator" than a sequel. The plot is very familiar and nothing new is brought to the story. A respectable cast doesn't have much to work with here and mail in their performances. The monster alligator seems to change size from shot to shot and the look of it is rubbery and cheap. The gore is unimpressive, and this one has no black humor like the original did. This movie lacks punch in virtually all areas.

Alligator II: The Mutation is a good film that has a good cast which includes Joseph Bologna, Dee Wallace-Stone, Richard Lynch, Woody Brown, Holly Gagnier, Bill Daily, Steve Railsback,Brock Peters, Tim Eyster, Voyo Goric, Buckley Norris, Julian Reyes, Deborah White, Bill Anderson, Chavo Guerrero Sr, Evelyn Guerrero, Tim Hayes, Kane Hodder, and Thomas Rosales Jr.! The acting by the actors good. Lych and Wallace-Stone was good. The special effects were good. The thrills are good and some of it is surprising. The movie is filmed good as well. Same thing goes for the music. The film is quite interesting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you the the cast in the film, Monsters, Giant Animal films, Horror, Thrillers, Mystery, and interesting films then I recommend you to see this film today!
