When body parts start showing up in Chicago’s water treatment plant, Detective David Madison is tasked with investigating the grisly dismemberments. Based on the location of the body parts, the city is afraid there might be a killer on the loose stalking the sewers, so Madison and a young cohort traipse down into the muck and mud under the city in search of clues. Naturally, they’re expecting to find a human, but what they discover instead is a ginormous 36-foot long Alligator named Ramone with a serious case of the munchies. Perhaps predictably, nobody believes Madison’s claims of “an alligator did it!” when he comes back up from the sewers sans partner, but after a nosey newspaper reporter manages to get photographic evidence of the creature, not only is Madison vindicated, but the entire city kicks into high gear to try to figure out a way to stop the beast before it consumes anyone else.

If you learn nothing else today, know that your face will never look as cool as his befollicled nasal undercarriage. And for that, […]
Read moreI wanted to start this off with a fun fact: I keep a monster locked in my basement. It mewls and growls, and I appease it by bringing it roadkill or whatever dead animals I can find. I don’t do this out of a desire to keep it prisoner, but rather to show I love […]
Read moreIf there is one thing horror movies have taught me (and there are many, many things horror movies have taught me), it’s to never be the last person inside anywhere. It’s not necessarily about being the first person out, but definitely do enough cardio and be willing to trip folks so you’re not the last. […]
Read moreMining the depths of bad taste for movies will lead you through a lot of crap. Much of it is stuff that’s entertaining, probably for the wrong reasons. However, sometimes you find a gem, not notable for its quality but because of its rarity or its surprising significance in the career of a particular actor, […]
