After all of Steven Spielberg\u2019s virtuoso framing and cool \u201970s Hitchcock scare tactics, the shark\u2019s big-mouthed consumption of a man who fully deserves to be eaten had a shockingly raw \u201cLook, there it is!\u201d exploitation-film brazenness. (One not inaccurate way to describe \u201cJaws\u201d would be to call it the greatest B-movie ever made.) \u201cThe Flood,\u201d an alligator-attack movie that\u2019s also a violent prison-break thriller, takes its cue from that scene. Set in a backwater Louisiana police station during a hurricane, the film isn\u2019t shy about serving up its big, nasty human-torso-meets-jaws moments. It\u2019s basically a slasher movie with teeth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The alligator thriller, of course, was always a bargain-basement knockoff of \u201cJaws\u201d \u2014\u00a0literally, since the alligators are inevitably slithering out of some basement somewhere. But it was launched with an ironic sliver of cachet, because \u201cAlligator\u201d (1980), the first entry in the genre to win attention, was written by John Sayles, who\u2019d released his seminal independent drama \u201cReturn of the Secaucus 7\u201d the same year. The Sayles connection signified that \u201cAlligator\u201d was at once a meat-grinder monster thriller and a knowing campy gloss on meat-grinder monster thrillers. The genre had actually begun in 1976 with \u201cEaten Alive,\u201d the very bad movie that Tobe Hooper made directly after \u201cThe Texas Chain Saw Massacre.\u201d It now includes a vast catalogue of such titles as \u201cLake Placid\u201d (1999), \u201cDark Age\u201d (1987), \u201cBlack Water\u201d (2007), and, more recently, the logy and overpraised \u201cCrawl\u201d (2019), a waterlogged thriller that tr<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed you in a house along with a father and daughter and two gators.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cThe Flood\u201d is both schlockier and livelier. It lets you know where it\u2019s coming from in the opening sequence, as a couple of deadbeat strangers take refuge from the storm in an abandoned house. A gator on the loose shows up at the front door in about three minutes (no slow build here), chowing down on one of the deadbeats. The other one tries to fight off the gator with a stick, but she becomes mincemeat as well. The film is telling us that its body-munch scenes are going to be served up like porn. The alligators are (mostly) digital, and quite convincing, though the innovation here is that their eating of heads and torsos is rendered with a gruesome wash of digital blood spatter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Four of the gigantic 500-pound beasts have climbed in through the roof ducts of the Lutree Sheriff\u2019s Department, a concrete bunker of a building in which most of the movie is set. Inconveniently, the place is playing host to half a dozen burly grizzled stone-sociopath killers who are being moved from one prison to another. The bus they were on had to stop because of the storm, and several of the prisoners\u2019 comrades have ambushed the place to bust them out. This is a set-up that the John Carpenter of \u201cAssault on Precinct 13\u201d would approve of, and it mostly carries you along, since even an alligator movie can\u2019t be all alligators. (That was the trouble with \u201cCrawl.\u201d) \u201cThe Flood\u201d has two sets of predators, one a bit less human than the other. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The staging, by director Brandon Slagle (\u201cHouse of Manson\u201d), is basic in a competent potboiler way, and the cast is pretty good. Nicky Whelan, as the sheriff, is like a prole Angelina Jolie, and the hulking actors who play the prisoners, like Mike Ferguson and Randall J. Bacon, turn them into convincing hardened sinners. Casper Van Dien, from \u201cStarship Troopers,\u201d plays the inmate who isn\u2019t as bad as they are (he\u2019s a cop killer who Had His Reasons), and his romantic flirtation with the sheriff is the corny glue that tries to hold the movie together. But what\u2019s really holding it together is the promise of alligators doing that thing they do. Stalk, slither, chomp, repeat. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
