Creature

Movie: Creature

Genre: horror

Synopsis: The “Creature” is a man-alligator that haunts the swamps near a small Louisiana community.  Three young couples who are just “passing through” learn about the “legend” of this creature and decide to visit the house where the man who supposedly became the creature used to live.  Many, many bad things follow.

My two cents: A pretty typical “wrong turn” type of movie – with an alligator twist.  The actor I most enjoyed watching was Sid Haig – who played his typical really-evil type of character (you may remember him as one of the scariest clowns ever in “The Devil’s Rejects”).  An example of the stuff that just drives me crazy with this type of movie: these six people just suddenly decide that they are going to hike through an unknown backwoods swamp area and camp there overnight – but no one even has a flashlight.  If you are into this genre you would probably like it.  If you are not a big fan of this genre, definitely give this a pass.
