Tagline: You'll never know what bit you.
Plot: ALLY McBEAL creator David E. Kelley wrote and produced this smalltown horror comedy with equal parts laughs and gore. When scientists studying beavers in a Maine lake are killed by something mysterious in the water, an investigation reveals a very large crocodile with an insatiable appetite. The cast of characters sent in to try to catch the murderous beast includes a game warden (Pullman), a scientist (Fonda), and a professor with a fondness for the scaly beasts (Platt). Betty White is an elderly local woman who has a knack for disarming everyone with her saucy language.

Get past the decent cast and Stan Winston effects and you get a bland time that has plenty of attempts at humour, all of which fall flat. Kelley is trying his best to be 'hip' but is just going through the motions, he can write well but this isn't his finest moment. ... Alligator did it better.  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
I took away from this movie, other than a headache, was a glowering irritation with the characters, all of whom do nothing but bitch and bitch and bitch at each other. 35/100--Jack Witzig (ColdSpot)
