From my favorite movies..

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is one of the scariest movies I have seen. It has a great story line. It also great acting. It also has great special effects. It is not a 3.6. It is a 9. This is one of the scariest movies I have seen. I f you like good horror stories you will like this movie. It is a great movie. It is a scarier then The silence of the lambs could ever be. This scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. This scarier then Halloween resurrection could ever be. This one very scary monster movie. And it is no of the best monster movies I have seen.

I found this pretty average sy-fy/horror weirdly captivating and unlike some quite comical in parts.The alligators mostly didn't look particularly realistic to me though. The original premise of chucking toxic blue moonshine into the river and that creating mutant alligators was promising, also had a synchronising with the blue meth in Breaking Bad for me. Then, when that went on to alligator bites turning humans into alligators it foreshadowed Christopher Berry going on to make an iconic appearance in The Walking Dead.Highlight for me was the much underrated Christopher Berry (The Walking Dead & Free State of Jones) looking particularly cute, until he turned gator. I know I shouldn't have, but I howled with laughter when he threw the dog into the gator's mouth.I have watched this film 3 times now and it just gets better and better, hence I have revised my rating and my review accordingly. I honestly believe this will eventually become a cult classic.

Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators (2013) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Not only does this film have one of the greatest titles in the history of cinema, it also manages to be one of the most entertaining movies to appear on SyFy. The story is pretty simple as a girl (Jordan Hinson) returns home to see that her family is still feuding with their neighbors and worst of all is that these neighbors have been dumping bad moonshine into the swamps, which has created large, redneck gators. Once again I find myself reviewing a SyFy movie and wondering why so many people go into a movie called RAGIN CAJUN REDNECK GATORS and are expecting some sort of quality material. Again, if you're wanting CITIZEN KANE then don't watch a film called RAGIN CAJUN REDNECK GATORS. It should go without saying but this is a pretty bad little movie but thankfully there's enough camp to make it quite entertaining. I think the best thing going for this are the horrendous CGI alligators, which are among some of the worst things you're ever going to see but thankfully they're funny, which adds to the entertainment. The scenes of the gators attacking are so poorly done and the blood so fake looking that it's impossible to take these scenes serious, which is another good thing. The performances are quite mixed at best but I thought Hinson was good enough in the lead. The film manages to have quite a few funny moments, which is about all you can hope for when watching something like this. The direction is pretty good throughout since he does manage to keep things moving at a nice pace, which, again, is about as much as you can hope for in a film like this. With that said, this is still a "C" level horror movie that aired on SyFy so obviously the material is very thin, runs out of gas before the conclusion but it's a creature feature that has enough entertaining moments.

Cajun accents? They come, they go, they are never very good.Avery comes back to the swamp, to her family, after four years in college. She's a vegan now, which gives an extra layer of problems dealing with a hunting, carnivorous culture.Pluses: the gators have red necks and spiked tails.Minuses: bad banjo playing, bad accents, Avery's sudden, complete switch to 'kill them all' after she sees a giant gator kill someone she's known for years; more bad banjo playing; badly motivated clan feud, Doucette versus Robichaud; more blue tongues than were strictly needed.So, bad moonshine dumped in the swamp water seems to be changing the gators. People who eat the gator meat or get deep wound from live gators change into gators.After an early success against the gators, the two clans degenerate in to drunken stupidity again. The human-to-gator changes start.Avery's father had a gold tooth; his gator form has a gold fang. Avery catches that, just before he pulls her out of the quicksand. The non-biological gold tooth changing shape makes about as much sense as the humans turning into gators, or the moonshine doing the first conversion.One minute Avery is dead set against killing gators since they are probably her family. The next minute, she's killing three of them by blowing up a gas tank.In the end, about all the remaining Doucettes are gators, while the Robichauds are out to kill them. Avery tries to protect her father-turned-gator, but that is not to be.Cinematography: 10/10 Sharp.Sound: 10/10 Fine.Acting: 2/10 Mostly bad. Lines delivered badly, accents out of kilter. Candy was a hoot.Screenplay: 4/10 There's a story to tell, and it moves from beginning to middle to end. The gaffes mentioned above are hard to forget, however.
