How Hungry is that Croc?!
26 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The premise is pretty ridiculous - 5 friends with barely any caving experience go into an unknown system (which they seem to think will make them a load of money - like, if you find a cave, can you claim if for yourself, do guided tours and stick a gift shop at the end?).

The Very Expensive Lamp - that was very conveniently mentioned for us in the first scene - dies within 3 minutes. Not that it would've helped much.

Now, i'm no crocodile expert, but i'm pretty sure they normally sit near the surface with just their eyes and nostrils sticking out. Which anyone with a torch would easily spot. But not this croc... he (or she/it: one should never assume a crocodile's gender) likes to lurk lower down, and suddenly swoop up (at great speed) from the depths.

Also: it must be Very hungry. Although not hungry enough to eat all of a Japanese woman. Racist croc! (You'd think, of all the nationalities, they would taste most like fish.) BUT it'll gladly attack a white dude. And having consumed him (probably?), half an hour later he's back for more! Two whole adult males. A veritable feast for the beast.

The very ending is actually quite exciting (although how they end up in that situation is laughable), and is a nice little add-on if you get that far. Although this woman, who's probably never used a gun before, casually holds that .45 handgun with one hand like she's Clint Eastwood. Her aim might've been better if she'd used two.

Anyway, that sums it up. I watched it so you don't have to.
