“As a lover of B-Movie Monster Movies, I really was looking forward to this one as itu0026#39;s set in England in Somerset and stars Andrew Lee Potts, Thomas Turgoose, and Justin Lee Collins.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOn paper, this sounds like it would have been brilliant, however, what we get are an unfunny comedy and a rubber crocodile monster movie. In this day and age, we should be able to do better with the special effects. Even if you have to resort to creating an artificial creature, that is pivotal to the plot, at least do it right. The croc looks like it was built out of leftover Wellingtons and if it took a bite out of you all you would do was laugh, as thereu0026#39;s no skull and no jawbones… itu0026#39;s all loose and floppy.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are also some dismembered body parts that also suffer from the no bone syndrome, Iu0026#39;ve never seen a floppier leg. These atrocious effects are the only thing thatu0026#39;s funny in this movie as writers, Michael Anderson and Nick Squire, arenu0026#39;t the best at writing comedy and it really shows in this movie. Apart from the laughable effects, the comedy falls flat on its face – and not in a good way like slapstick.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMichael Anderson who also directed this picture doesnu0026#39;t seem to be able to get the best out of his cast. Potts and Turgoose are very good actors and I would watch anything they are in but this proves that under poor direction even good actors can come off weak and insincere.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you like comedic monster movies then stay away from this film.”
