  Worth a gander.
  
  Good film for the monster movie buffs. Pretty good on the suspense front, not much in the way of 'jump' factor but does enought to keep you watching. ... read more »

  Lacks bite.
  
  Its a low budget film with three adults stuck up a tree and being taunted by a croc. One by one they get it.
  
  Nothing new and nothing scary, my advice... read more »

  Think Open Water but in the mangroves instead of the sea.
  
  Simple but effective film. Low budget, no stars and no frills but this all adds to the horror of the situation as it makes it all the more real!
