One of my favorite movies when I was a kid.
Great movie.

I saw this movie at the theater twice over a period of two days back when it was released. Loved it. Robert Forster rules. Always liked the way that writer John Sayles injected humor in this script, as well as The Howling. He knew the proper balance.

Watched it when I was about 12 and seen it again about a year ago. It got alot more cheezy to me but still a halfway decent film
Nearly 30 years, & it's still the best of the killer reptile flicks!!! The mechanical gator holds up very well. It's more realistic than the CGI nintendo quality crap that we see nowadays. Grab your favorite beverage, an unhealthy snack, & give this one a look. It's a hell of a lot of fun. You'll think twice before jumping in your pool, or attending an outdoor party, I assure you.
'Alligator' is way better than it should be. John Sayles' script is fantastic, and Robert Forster is awesome as our wise-cracking, balding investigator. Sure, some of the gator effects are laughable, but not nearly as bad as you would expect. Hands down better than lesser attempts like LAKE PLACID, ROGUE and certainly PRIMEVIL. Check it out.
