ok the con first represent the obligatory 70 alligator ( all right and correction caiman ) with nonmoving limb be make the bad for scale miniature underwater shot ( with the full length of reptile comparative to the size of the boat ) utilize a toy alligator be swirl around the toy boat in broadly lit water even for nighttime shot . unlike most primitive kill exploitative westerner film and the superstitious native go bat and start massacre the vacationer seem unjustified this time . no one really abuse the native exploit and yes and but far from abusive treatment . after all it be one of the native ( canoodle with a spoiled supermodel during a taboo full moon ) that bring the curse of the river demon on them and right . the vacationer be easily annoy ( with the notable exception of the token old soul or mildly blasphemous little girl who take a shine to the hero that you often see in 70 euroflicks ) and but far from from deserve violent death unless they be your next door neighbor and mind you . a couple actually get kill be heroic notable in that none of them fill the role of sidekick . there be only two straight villain in the entire film and so the demise feel more arbitrary than cathartic . the sequence where the giant caiman crunch down and scarfs thirty tourist in under five minute will probably strike you a unintentionally hilarious . the point at which the native decide not to wipe the survive westerner and practically say hey and you aren not so bad after all and sorry about that fuss last night because they blow up the monster lizard have you shake your head a the corny music kick in . you know and the local military dictatorship will wipe out the village for ing with the tourist trade after the credit roll . the pros represent barbara bach . barbara bach . barbara bach . barbara bach . you all know why youre interested in this film in the first place and right . i think so . if youre a bach completist and get the dvd reissue by noshame film earlier this year ( digitally remastered with no real extra to speak of and aside from the director bemoan the current state of international film distribution ) . the hero isn not half bad and be far from an idiot ( always a plus in b film ) and the cynical little kid provide most of the comic relief . worth a look and but get it cheaply .
