Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators (2013)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Absolutely brilliant

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This is one of the scariest movies I have seen. It has a great story line. It also great acting. It also has great special effects. It is not a 3.6. It is a 9. This is one of the scariest movies I have seen. I f you like good horror stories you will like this movie. It is a great movie. It is a scarier then The silence of the lambs could ever be. This scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do. This scarier then Halloween resurrection could ever be. This one very scary monster movie. And it is no of the best monster movies I have seen.

"Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators" (aka "Alligator Alley") is one of those movies. You know, those kind of monstrous creature features, that just have way too awful effects to come off as properly being good entertainment.The story is about a young girl named Avery (played by Jordan Hinson) who returns to the swamps of Louisiana to her family after having been away for college. The ongoing feud between the Robichaud and Doucette families is still blazing, and things doesn't take a turn for the better when the Robichaud family's failed moonshine brew turns the local alligator residents into mutated giants hungry for human flesh.Essentially the story did have some good things to it here and there, but it was all just brutally slaughtered with the worst CGI alligators ever to make it to the screen. I mean, seriously, these are without a doubt amongst the top five of worst creature CGI effects I have ever seen.The characters in the movie are painfully stereotypical to the point where it is starting to become embarrassing to bear witness to.As for the acting, well, for a movie of this particular genre and type, then it was alright. Nothing mind-blowingly impressive though, mind you.And as if giant, mutated man-killing alligators wasn't enough, wait to you find out what happens later on, it just goes from being silly to downright stupid. Trust me..."Ragin Cajun Redneck Gators" is the type of movie that you will suffer through once, out of sheer boredom, and never to make a return trip to watch it ever again. There just wasn't anything worthwhile to support a second watching - unless you count horrible CGI creatures as worthwhile, of course.

Even though they reach a limited audience, 2013 has been the year for Syfy films. With it's original name, Sci-fi, it's was a channel in the beginning that brought us reruns of old films and some original films that didn't really have an audience. As time went on, the channel delivered some popular TV shows including Ghost Hunter and also cult shows like Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Firefly. In 2010, it made a drastic change when it broadcasted WWE Smackdown drawing in the wrestling audience. Through the power of social media including twitter in 2013, it's original film Sharknado was a major hit that brought much more attention to the channel. Because of the Sharknado hit, their films are finding more of a audience. These films are very strange and all over the spectrum including Aladdin and the Death Lamp, Ghost Shark and Flying Monkeys. Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators is another film to add to this strange collection.Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators is set in the swaps of Louisiana where a Cajun redneck community finds themselves getting attacked by strange killer gators. These gators are far from typical, quite dangerous and more than what they seem.Like Sharknado and Ghost Shark, there is a definite lack of budget but an extra effort by the filmmakers to make this work is evident. There are Cajun rednecks that are funny and kind of realistic, mutant gators, and a Romeo and Juliet love story involving feuding families. It's all a unique and interesting combination.Unlike the Ghost Shark and Shakando, we don't care much about these characters. Attractive lead character, Jordan Hinson plays Avery from one of the feuding families but nothing memorable really comes from her performance. Her love interest, Tristan (Victor Webster) is a character who is frankly limited and who we don't really root for even though he is in danger from the gators throughout. The only positive person who steals the show is Michael Baird who plays Avery's father Dale. He has an excellent Cajun accent and is a charismatic "life of the party" kind of character who kind of steals the show.For what it is trying to be, Ragin' Cajun Redneck Gators should have been better. It has a good original idea and tries to go with it but falls a little flat because I think it tries to do much. Because of that, I think it is probably the weakest Syfy films of 2013.

I read GL84's nine star review and he is an idiot. This is another stupid Syfy movie. First how can bad moonshine mutate gators and not other species? Then there is the Romeo and Juliet aspect between two feuding families. One guy is in love with the daughter of the other side. The mutated creatures can whip some kind of killer stuff with their tails plus have some red coloration that I guess is suppose to come from the moonshine. Hence the redneck gator part of the title, I guess. This moonshine of course comes from one to the two feuding families. Now the two feuding maybe lovers go looking for the problem and gee they find it. My isn't it amazing that their boat manages to start when they need to rescue some family? Lucien's wife is a real piece of work. I did love the plan of distraction the guy had when he threw the mutt to the gator. While not PC it was really funny. The Gator Whisperer is another idiot but gets his. Unfortunately his entire crew gets hammered before that happens. Of course the bites are toxic and here it gets Syfy stupid. It turns out the bit turns the bitee into gator clones and everything gets even more stupid from there. I was glad to see a black man as the sheriff and he didn't die first. This is just a stupid unbelievable plot.
