As b-movies go, this is definately a must-see. Not only is the plot stolen and adapted Aussie style,but the whole thing is littered by lameness which is not even a tribute to Jaws. So often the Croc looks so rubbery and plastic, you would think it was a giant pool toy. The film is littered by cliche characters and bad dialogue, as well as random screen moments that are sheer oddity. Normally, I would go into detail, but the ineffable quality makes this a see for yourself. P
