Clever, funny, and wonderfully bloody.
All in all, a fine example of what a sense of humor can do with a low budget and an old idea.
Alligator, the most amusing variation yet on the Jaws formula, finds plenty of room for incidental humor and romantic byplay while sustaining a breezy suspense plot. [20 May 1981, p.B1]
Alligator is bloody and boisterous, featuring the only man-eating monster in memory named Ramone.
I suggest a plan: Why not try flushing this movie down the toilet to see if it also grows into something big and fearsome?
