\"\"Alligator<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t a half-bad movie with its cheesy moments and some respectable makeup effects, not to mention the charisma from Robert Forster in a lead role. Don\u2019t know how much replay value it has, though it does provide a fun time.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 3\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>A family returning from Florida, the father decides his daughter\u2019s pet alligator is too much to handle and flushes him down the toilet. Meanwhile, Slade Laboratories is conducting secret experiments with animals and disposing of them in the sewer. The alligator, fending for itself, begins to feed on the dead animals, and grows. Now, twelve years later, after several mysterious murders, David Madison (ROBERT FORSTER) is on the case to find out who… or what… is killing people.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: Alligator<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t a great movie and the scenes with the fake alligator were a bit goofy but I thought this horror-thriller, directed by Lewis Teague (Cujo<\/em>, The Jewel of the Nile<\/em>), was pretty entertaining with a fun performance from Robert Forster. Unsure about how much replay value this has, though I would think it would make for a amusing viewing in a group setting.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
