9.5/10.One of my favorite of the big monster movies.Obviously it took inspiration from Jaws and also Godzilla.It's a priceless big monster movie.Here the alligator's the victim from the dislike of a girl's father to the crazy experiments of a company headed by your cliched greedy businessman.Still the best performances are by the leads Robert Forster and Robin Riker. They seem just work well together, should've done another movie together.The alligator itself looked pretty good for the times.I loved the wedding massacre scene, the alligator finally got his long overdue revenge on those responsible.If anything, it's a classic that shouldn't be overlooked.Ramon, what a name for an alligator, it's catchy.
