Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Bottomline, miserable. I don't know what was worse, the story, the way all the scenes were filmed, the alligator that looked like it was cut from a video game, the acting that was dreadful, or the quoting... 1-2/10

This is one of the scariest movies I have seen. It has a great story line. It also great acting. It also has great special effects. It is not a 3.6. It is a 9. This is one of the scariest movies I have seen. I f you like good horror stories you will like this movie. It is a great movie. It is a scarier then The silence of the lambs could ever be. This scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. This scarier then Halloween resurrection could ever be. This one very scary monster movie. And it is no of the best monster movies I have seen.

I read GL84's nine star review and he is an idiot. This is another stupid Syfy movie. First how can bad moonshine mutate gators and not other species? Then there is the Romeo and Juliet aspect between two feuding families. One guy is in love with the daughter of the other side. The mutated creatures can whip some kind of killer stuff with their tails plus have some red coloration that I guess is suppose to come from the moonshine. Hence the redneck gator part of the title, I guess. This moonshine of course comes from one to the two feuding families. Now the two feuding maybe lovers go looking for the problem and gee they find it. My isn't it amazing that their boat manages to start when they need to rescue some family? Lucien's wife is a real piece of work. I did love the plan of distraction the guy had when he threw the mutt to the gator. While not PC it was really funny. The Gator Whisperer is another idiot but gets his. Unfortunately his entire crew gets hammered before that happens. Of course the bites are toxic and here it gets Syfy stupid. It turns out the bit turns the bitee into gator clones and everything gets even more stupid from there. I was glad to see a black man as the sheriff and he didn't die first. This is just a stupid unbelievable plot.

Cajun accents? They come, they go, they are never very good.Avery comes back to the swamp, to her family, after four years in college. She's a vegan now, which gives an extra layer of problems dealing with a hunting, carnivorous culture.Pluses: the gators have red necks and spiked tails.Minuses: bad banjo playing, bad accents, Avery's sudden, complete switch to 'kill them all' after she sees a giant gator kill someone she's known for years; more bad banjo playing; badly motivated clan feud, Doucette versus Robichaud; more blue tongues than were strictly needed.So, bad moonshine dumped in the swamp water seems to be changing the gators. People who eat the gator meat or get deep wound from live gators change into gators.After an early success against the gators, the two clans degenerate in to drunken stupidity again. The human-to-gator changes start.Avery's father had a gold tooth; his gator form has a gold fang. Avery catches that, just before he pulls her out of the quicksand. The non-biological gold tooth changing shape makes about as much sense as the humans turning into gators, or the moonshine doing the first conversion.One minute Avery is dead set against killing gators since they are probably her family. The next minute, she's killing three of them by blowing up a gas tank.In the end, about all the remaining Doucettes are gators, while the Robichauds are out to kill them. Avery tries to protect her father-turned-gator, but that is not to be.Cinematography: 10/10 Sharp.Sound: 10/10 Fine.Acting: 2/10 Mostly bad. Lines delivered badly, accents out of kilter. Candy was a hoot.Screenplay: 4/10 There's a story to tell, and it moves from beginning to middle to end. The gaffes mentioned above are hard to forget, however.
