I really hope this film doesn’t do for alligators what Jaws did for sharks.
It seems extraordinary to me that, in the midst of mass extinction, such 1950s style schlock is still being made.

Hundreds of horror films have been made, premised on the idea of too much wildlife (The Birds, The Swarm etc etc). But as The Road showed, the real dystopian horror is too little.
The Road (well the book at least - the film flinched) is a brilliant thought experiment about what would happen to us if the biosphere vanishes. It is far more chilling that any nature-out-of-control narrative.
