She's big, she's green, and she's after the teens who destroyed her nest. Mark McLaughlin, Caitlin Martin, Rhett Jordan, Sommer Knight (any relation to Wynter Daye?), Julie Mintz, D.W. Reiser, Chris Solari
(a.k.a. Krocodylus) directed by horror legend Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist)No relation to Alligator (1981)
Crocodile 2: Death Roll
After being hijacked by a dangerous criminal, a planeload of passengers crash-lands in a remote swamp in Mexico — where they find themselves pursued by a hungry, monster-size crocodile. (A death roll, in case you're wondering, is the move a crocodile makes to hold its struggling prey under water and tear off chunks of meat.) Also known as Crocodile II: Death Swamp, this sequel to 2000's Crocodile was directed by creature-feature specialist Gary Jones (Mosquito, Spiders). Martin Kove (Project: Shadowchaser) stars.
Dinocroc (Letterbox)
Film producer/director/writer/legend Roger Corman celebrates his 50th year in movies by, among other things, producing this good old-fashioned new creature-feature about a small town being terrorized by a bioengineered prehistoric crocodile. One difference from the old days: Corman's working with a seriously estimable cast that includes no less than thinking-man's beauty Joanna Pacula (Gorky Park, Virus, The Kiss) and Emmy Award-winner Bruce Weitz (Deep Impact, TV's Hill Street Blues) — plus character-actor great and Corman veteran Charles Napier (The Silence of the Lambs, Skeeter, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Zone Troopers).
DNA
Working deep in the North Borneo rainforest, a band of scientists unearths the remains of an ancient creature and sets out to extract DNA from its mysterious skeleton. Once combined with a rare enzyme, the DNA produces a relentless monster that goes on a murderous rampage. Now it's up to a CIA agent to stop the killing — and head off a counter-plot to catch the creature and sell it as a weapon to the highest bidder. Jürgen Prochnow (David Lynch's Dune, Das Boot, Judge Dredd) heads the cast.
Godzilla VS. Gigan (Letterbox)
Controlled by aliens based in an under-construction theme park, the monsters King Ghidorah and Gigan are summoned to Earth to help take over the planet. Now it's up to the '70s "good-guy Godzilla" and sidekick Angilas to foil the sinister plot. Watch other Godzilla films for allegorical themes, tragic characters or innovative effects and editing. Watch this one (a.k.a. Godzilla on Monster Island) for campy fun and pure entertainment. How much so? Let's put it this way: In two scenes, Godzilla speaks! Original Japanese title: Chikyu Kogeki Meirei: Gojira tai Gaigan. (Dubbed)
Blood Surf (2001)
Don't you just hate it when there's some gnarly waves, and a great point break, then a giant saltwater crocodile starts eating the people? That's the plot of this one, basicly a bad remake of "Crocodile" and "Lake Placid" (both seen on USA Network) from time to time.
Last seen on the SYFY Channel followed by Octopus 2 (about a giant mutant octopus)
