I would love to know what the death toll was for Supergator, because once the beast starts eating folks it doesn't stop. I mean, it doesn't even attempt to take a rest break, it just keeps eating and eating..it has quite an appetite.This time the killer monster is a prehistoric alligator from the Paleostone age(..recreated from the DNA of a jaw bone, these scientists never learn)running rampant on the wild life refuge of a Hawaiin island, eating every human being in sight.What I found most amusing was how the filmmakers went out of their way to create these various story-lines / sub-plots, maneuvering characters into positions just to be eaten. They exist only as a food source. Kelly McGillis stopped by to pick up a paycheck as the scientist(..or one of the scientists) responsible for the creature's creation. John Colton is the water boat hunter she hires to help her find it. Brad Johnson is a vulcanologist researching a volcano, afraid it might just erupt. Josh Kelly is a young apprentice assisting him and Bianca Lawson is a former student, now a journalist wishing to follow along, working on an article detailing their progress. Mary Alexander Stiefvater is the volcano expert who called Johnson about the volcano. Others show up primarily to be eaten.Like other sci-fi channel movies of this type, the filmmakers rely heavily on computer generated effects. When they shoot attacks up close, the filmmakers create vague depictions of bloody arms and legs caught within the sharp grip inside the mouth of the gator. What's frustrating about this process is that you barely can see any of the bloody action, although the victims' screams are pretty effective as they are being torn into. Like in Jaws, Supergator has the public event scene(..a luau in this particular situation)our heroes attempt to stop due to the dangerous threat, falling on deaf ears with the organizers, resulting in a massacre. The cgi attacks are rather laughable, with only one or two that are even remotely effective. To their credit, the filmmakers try their best to stage the attacks as ferocious and horrifying as possible, but the cgi is just too obvious. I believe the closer attacks are staged so erratically due to the fact that all they had was a prosthetic mouth(..probably hands just operating it off screen), so the editing is haphazard not just for the attempt of capturing the situation in a feverish intensity, but out of necessity.

Going into this film I really wasn't expecting much. The scene with the photographer and the two lumps of stupid posing for him only served to support my expectations.The concept was completely retarded, which in and of itself isn't enough to kill the movie. Most Sci-Fi Channel movies are ridiculous but incredibly fun. This isn't that fun. The acting is terrible, with the actors either being too intense or seeming like they just don't give a crap. The special effects aren't much better. The up close attack scenes are laughable. You can see it's clearly a rubber head. And the recycled Jurassic Park raptor screeches are more than a little distracting.I was most disappointed in Bianca Lawson, who did a wonderful job as Kendra during her short run on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It saddened me to see her in a movie like this.In all, not the WORST movie to come out of Sci-Fi Channel, but in no way a great movie by any stretch of the imagination.

Laughed the whole way through. Thought it was a parody on all films of the genre. You have GOT to be kidding.All the kids in the room were laughing too. How about those blood sprays?? All death scenes the same except for the wardrobe change. OMG--the acting...But I am glad some people enjoyed it in a different way. Kelly McGillis looked about 65. What on earth has happened to her. That was freaky.Another thing I found odd was the murky, ghastly looking water. I have never been to Hawaii but always thought the water was sky blue. Must be all the fake Kool-Aid blood, huh? Still my whole family watched it all the way through. We took bets who would be the last actor standing--and none of us predicted the end.

Sci-fi keeps getting worse with these so-called original movies. PU did this one ever stinks. They must use the worse CGI, as their monsters are looking worse movie after movie. They take gator and mix his DNA with a Dinosaur. Did they mix in a mass murder as well? The so-called Supergator is not eating the people in the movie. He just killing them and moving right on to next victim. Don't insult our intelligence in these movies. Gators are not on the move right after a meal and since gators are from the dingo age. I'd say whatever dinosaur they mixed in would be relaxed right after killing and eating as well. Not Supergator. He kills one victim and two seconds later he's on top of another and another. The plot was terrible using an active volcano and people checking that out and getting killed along the way. The volcano blows at the end. Made no sense and if you missed this piece of crap. I recommend missing it the next time.
