Blood Surf [Import]

Je suis un amateur de film de Crocodile, et je n'avais jamais vus Bloodsurf. J'avais peu d'attente et j'ai été surpris de qualité du film. C'est moin bon que Lake Placid 1 et Rogue et primeval mais tout de même la filmographie est superbe. beaucoup d'image de jour et le crocodile est dans la moyenne. quelque image CGI sont "cheap". Mais en général une belle surprise!

Man, I love dumb movies like this. Let's sail into shark-infested waters, dump a few buckets of chum to attract all of the terrifying beauties, and then hop out there on our surfboards to Hang Ten amongst all the finny goodness. We'll call it blood surfing. What could possibly go wrong? If you're thinking human shark bait, then I'm afraid you're probably not cut out for a career writing or directing low-budget monster movies. Use your imagination, man! We're somewhere off the coast of the Philippines, so what if we throw a few horny guerilla fighters on the island? Ones who've been fantasizing about white women all their lives. No, that's not enough. We need something big, something unusual, something the audience won't be expecting. But what's more scary and deadly than a shark or a guerilla? Yeah, yeah, of course we have booby traps in the island jungle - I should think that goes without saying. Wait a minute. I've got it. A salt-water crocodile. No, not just any salt-water crocodile. I'm talking the biggest, baddest saltie you've ever seen. Would you believe 31 feet? Yeah, now we're talking. Now we've got us a movie worth watching.

I thought the two surfer dudes who signed up for this blood surfing gig were dumb - until the woman shooting the "blood surfing" documentary grabbed her camera and jumped into the bloody water wearing nothing more than some skimpy-looking chain mail body suit that wouldn't even protect her from a mosquito bite. As it turned out, such acts of stupidity would recur time and again as this story played out. Needless to say, someone is getting eaten before all is said and done. Sadly, the director does tend to cop out on the gore of the actual killings, but you have to love the periodic "croc cam" perspectives and marvel at the sight of a giant crocodile - fake as it is - hurling all 31 feet of itself up out of the water to snatch the human meal of its choosing off of a boat.

Although Blood Surf (also known as Krocodylus) does seemingly borrow a few scenes from other sources (there's even a sailor with an Ahab-like obsession with killing the monster), the whole plot is by-the-numbers, and the giant crocodile is obviously fake, I must say I found the film quite entertaining. Of course, I'm the type of person who enjoys watching films in which crocodiles attack unimportant and/or annoying characters. As long as you go into this film with realistic expectations, I don't think you should be too horribly disappointed - if nothing else, you're guaranteed a few laughs. And just think about this: where else are you going to find two attractive young women flashing a giant crocodile?

besides being friends with the brother of one of the actors (i won't say which), i bought BLOOD SURF on vhs from the local supermarket, in honesty, cause it was only $[...] and i figured i would check it out. the movie had its moments of cheese and bad photography, but considering the low budget it must have had, it really wasnt all that bad.

if youre a fan of joel west and want to see more than the calvin kelin ads would ever have shown you, then this is the movie for you.

the acting isn't all that great, but then again.. who ever heard of a former fashion model giving an academy award winning performance anyway?

overall, the movie was pretty good, it kept my interest, and i was kinda bummed at who survived and who didn't.

still.. i would reccommend this flick to anyone who asked about it
