When four college students trek to the Everglades to conduct extra-credit research for their biology professor, they become prey to a huge man-eating eel with nasty incisors that’s been terrorizing a nearby Florida community, based on a true story concerning an exotic species of eels that are released in the southeast from Asia. They breathe air and can survive on land.

Terror hybrid eel, terrorizing a lake and killing many people two sherrifs who know it rushed to collect people to kill meat-eating giant eels ... Razortooth (2007) is a horror film from the United States originally released via DVD. The film was directed by Patricia Harrington. This movie is quite horror, character of a silly character, the hole of the story where it is, a simple CGI. But it's all covered with the sadistic scene of the eel monsters that prey on humans, quite gore and disgusting, do not bring children to watch this movie.

After a rash of disappearances, a wildlife expert and the local sheriff team up with a group of residents to combat the gigantic, mutated eel running loose through the local swamplands before it eats the whole town.This turned out to be quite the flawed if still slightly enjoyable creature feature. There's some rather enjoyable moments here, most of which comes from the fact that the creature is clearly out and rampaging around quite early so there's plenty of action scenes within this. From the opening attack on the search party in the swamps to the brief attack scenes around town as it attacks the locals to the rather cheesy finale where it seemingly keeps coming back despite several attempts to fully contain and kill it while the creature is chasing after them for even more action-packed sequences, so this one dos manage to contain some rather impressive and fun moments that allow for a pretty enjoyable pace here as these are spread liberally enough throughout the film to avoid any kind of prolonged boredom. Along with plenty of action is plenty of exciting kills here which are based on the creature's rather fun tactic of simply going for the kill every time out so it's ravenous behavior makes for a rather gory and blood-soaked time with plenty of limbs being gnawed off, bodies ripped apart, bites and much more here which make for a really good time. These are enough to hold it aloft over it's few minor flaws, most notably the utterly ridiculous and abysmal CGI rampant throughout here. Not only is this patently unimpressive and obvious in it's fake-ness, the fact that it also manages to employ other big giveaways to it's source is found throughout here including the creature randomly appearing out of nowhere simply because the attack calls for it, changing size and dimensions frequently and barely interacting with the outside world around it so there's never any doubt this pixelated, cheesy-looking beast is anything but realistic. Likewise, the other big flaw here is the obvious use of character-padding to max out a storyline that really shouldn't yield a movie this long so there's a lot of excess story lines drummed up simply to provide more characters for it to kill off which really shouldn't be so as they simply scream out in their attempt to pad out the running time. These are somewhat detrimental to this but not enough to really lower it.

Two prisoners escape through the swamp land in Everglades and the search party is attacked by a giant mutant eel and is considered missing. The Animal Control agent Delmar Coates (Doug Swander) is searching a missing dog with his ex-wife Sheriff Ruth Gainey-Coates (Kathleen LaGue) and he discovers the remains of the animal. Meanwhile members of a canoe club organize an expedition through the swamp.When Sheriff Ruth organizes a manhunt to capture the criminals, Delmar informs that his former friend, Dr. Soren Abramson (Simon Page), who is chasing the eel with a group of college students, is the responsible for mutant species. Sheriff Ruth organizes two teams to hunt the prisoners and the eel. "Razortooth" is a laughable B-movie, with a stupid screenplay full of holes. For example, a team of skilled police officers vanishes in the swamp and a group of rednecks are responsible for the search party. The experienced Delmar Coates hunts a dangerous mutant eel with a group of amateurs equipped with one crossbow to kill the giant creature. But the best is Delmar Coates wrestling with the agile and strong creature in the lake. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "A Face do Predador" ("The Face of the Predator")

I didn't expect much when I rented Razortooth, but it is surprisingly good. There is nothing new here, but it stands up to most of the horror and monster movies I see (which is just about everything).It has an old fashioned feel that is kind of appealing. I have gotten sick of torture porn lately. At first I (like all teens I guess), was interested in seeing the boundaries pushed by movies like SAW and HOSTEL. But it has gotten so so old. I am just not interested in seeing how many new ways a girl (or a guy) can be raped, tortured, and murdered. For me, it is not entertainment.Razortooth, though obviously low budget, actually has a plot, and characters, some good effect, some great laughs, and a good (funny) ending. It is like a GOOD SyFy movie. I liked that cast, but did not recognize any of them.One thing I did not like at all is the lead guy playing the harmonica all the time.Overall: better than most.
