Primeval

Characters:

Tim: Our main character, the leader and head reporter for the news place he works at, forced to go due to him screwing up a news report and ends up shot, stabbed, beaten and nearly eaten
(There is a homage to Gorerotted in that last sentence)

Aviva: ha, weird name, but I nice person who manages to end up shooting people stabbing people, setting up elaborite traps and dumping Croc sperm on people, it was her idea to go to the damned place in the first place

Matt: A croc expert and not the brightest person I’ve ever seen, poor dude, hit by a car then shot

Green: A old man who is hired as a guide, eaten by Gustav.

Jo-Jo: A local African who is trying to learn english so he can go to America, seems to be a good shot, now I was pretty sure this dude was dead for a while, but my was I surprised when I see him moving around in the fucking jeep, then on a plane to America, this dude’s got it lucky, although he was shot...

Steven: A black reporter who has some great lines in the movie and is good for a few laughs, but still winds up dead with a missing arm

The Guards: Aoko and the other guy, in order Aoko was dismembered and the other dude was shot by Jo-Jo...

Gustav (The dude): A mean bastard if there ever was one, seems to enjoy slaughtering families, ripped in half then has his head popped like a grape, quite fun it was

Gustav (The Croc): One bigass mother of a Croc, his here to eat people and when he gets the chance he damn right does his job, too bad he was more of a subplot then the most important character in the movie


Plot:
Hmm, a group of people try to stay alive in Africa while shooting a documentary about a 25 foot killer crocodile, the croc seems to have other plans though, and dinner seems to be one of them Will anyone survive this creatures reign of terror? Will anyone actually get killed by the croc? Why do you love me?





Review:
Apparently inspired by a true croc killer of sorts, this little flick starts off promisingly with a cool yet mildly cheesy and mostly off screen croc attack, sadly this got our hopes up for a killer croc movie. This turned out to be a of action movie with a killer crocodile thrown in it for good measure. Hell this movie really should’ve made up its mind on what it wanted to me, was it a killer croc movie, a action movie, or as the previews suggest, a slasher? Well it’s not a slasher, thats for sure Yes the preview is very misleading, If you were expecting a killer crocodile movie, you will be at least mildly disappointed, and if you somehow managed to figure out it was a dull action flick then you got it Alright then now that we got past that lets take a look at this ever genre changing beast of a movie, shall we? It is quite a fun movie to watch and is never really boring, so thats always a plus I personally thought the special effects were awesome I have no idea what everyone was bitching about, besides a few minor scenes in the earlier part of the film.
Sure the dialogue was less than average, and the plot was weird as hell. And that whole thing with the dog was unneeded and unnecessary, to say the least And it really lacked gore, that was one of the main things that bugged me. The gore is ALL from the croc and he only kills like 5 or 6 people, and half of those were off screen kills But what we did get was quite gruesome and brutal though, such as Greene’s death, and Gustav’s death and particular

The directing is awe-inspiring and very relaxing for the eyes as I thought it really showed off the more beautiful side of Africa. The acting was pretty good for most parts, although there were a few moments for everyone where the dialogue seemed forced. I can recommend this film for Creature Feature fans and I can see the fans of Sci-Fi channel having a blast with this



Gore:
a decapitation, a severed leg, a guy ripped in half, a crushed head, and not a lot more.



T&A:
Absolutely nothing



Bodycount:
25


Final Rating: 3/5
