This movie is 58 minutes long. With credits, I mean. When you start it up on Full Moon's streaming app, that's the total runtime that comes up. And it STILL had moments that dragged on unnecessarily long. But much like the runtime, I'll make this brief.
Let me get the positives out of the way. The cinematography was just swell. Simple, perhaps, but it took a single setting location, a Southern, lakeside cottage, and it made it work, and easy on the eyes. The POV shots for the gator and cell phones were less pretty, but used sparingly enough. The cast was attractive and fun; these may not be master thespians, but they were all game and looked like they were having a blast in their roles. There's a topless scene. Nice. The film takes great pleasure in mocking zoomers. Double nice. It doesn't take itself seriously, the ending is pleasant, and overall I got the impression that the filmmakers just want viewers to have an good time. And one last thumbs up for honesty in marketing; the CGI gator is, indeed, bad.
On to the negatives. I don't like the script. No one says anything of any importance, at all. There is no real story beyond 'there's a bad CGI gator outside the house', so the characters have nothing to do or say to move the story forward except intentionally leave the cabin and die, which they do. Some of the dialogue is just mind-numbingly awful, and some scenes in the second act go on too long because of that. There is no tension, a lot of the jokes don't land and there is no real gore to speak of besides a couple of severed limbs.
That's about it; if you're a Full Moon subscriber, and you need to kill an hour, this is available to you. You could do a lot worse. But Full Moon has also created much, much better, and I want them to be around for a long time. Hopefully this and the recently released AImee get sequels that do more with their premises.
