“I like to consider myself a connoisseur of low budget horror. Itu0026#39;s a fine line to walk– there are films that know their premise is bad, so the cast and crew donu0026#39;t try; there are others that try too hard to be more than what theyu0026#39;re capable of being and end up being boring. There are very few u0026quot;badu0026quot; horror movies where you can tell that everyone involved is truly enjoying themselves– and that enjoyment elevates the film to something that you truly, unironically enjoy as well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIu0026#39;ve been anxiously awaiting Bad CGI Gator for a month, as it was coming out on my birthday, and it did not disappoint. The low budget did not stop the camera crew from doing a very professional job, and the acting was superb for a comic horror film; although I doubt weu0026#39;ll see any of these actors in the future, Iu0026#39;d be very happy if we did see their careers advance.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe script is charmingly mocking of Gen Z culture, in a way that makes it clear that actual Gen Z people were involved in writing it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd the gator, oh, the gator! If you came to this review to hear about the eponymous gator, I promise it wonu0026#39;t disappoint. Thereu0026#39;s an in-universe reason the gator is bad CGI, and I promise that the creatureu0026#39;s descent from the roof will fulfill every promise the filmu0026#39;s name offers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf none of this compels you, the short run time at worst means itu0026#39;s worth giving it a try, and if youu0026#39;re like me, youu0026#39;ll be left wanting more.”
