For a creature feature made in 1980, 'Alligator' is a pretty good movie that doesn't rely on special effects to entertain the audience.In fact, 'Alligator' doesn't really have any special effects.The closest thing to special effects in this movie are explosions, car crashes, and the giant 30 foot alligator.If you're the kind of person who relies on special effects from movies like 'Hancock' to keep you entertained, then you might as well stop reading this review and forget that you have even heard of this movie because you will end up hating it.If you are that kind of person, then you really have issues.There is only one movie in the world that doesn't need special effects and happens to be one of the best movies of all time.The name of that movie is 'Jaws'. So know that this movie has some similarities with other monster movies, and that's why this movie is being called a classic by people who really know how to enjoy a good movie.'Alligator' may be no 'Jaws', but it does have enough potential to make this 87 minute monster movie a real pleaser.
