Crocodylus: Mating Season

This film was a lot of fun. Good writing, funny and entertaining! The first movie was good but wasn't a spoof. This one has moments of hilarity coupled with a decent storyline.

The characters were well thought out and the acting was as good as it gets with this particular genre of film. I personally had a couple of "laugh out loud" moments.

The film is creative, funny AND has lots of moments where the ridiculousness of the monster's visuals is warranted.

Also, the production side of things was very good and allowed for a more pleasurable visual aesthetic. If you want to watch a good B-Horror film spoof...check out Crocodylus: Mating Season. 👍👍😎

I first learn about this film by an add that came up on Facebook. I learned that it was going to be showing at a small theater near me called the Enzian Theater. I went to see another movie there before the Crocodylus showing and saw nothing promoting the film until I was walking out of the theater and saw a card the director had left on the exit table which lucky for me had his number on it. I called and expressed my enthusiasm for wanting to see the film and he told me where to get my ticket. I was so blown away by the production of the film and story! I think that this film will have a definite cult following! I appreciated how awesome Stanley was and was not disappointed after seeing the film!!! I can't wait to buy my own copy when it is distributed!!

An interesting dive into the comedy creature feature genre. Mating Season is a movie that effortlessly mutates into something like "The fly " meets "Airplane " . I really enjoyed it , possibly more so as the movie went on. Apparently even lower budget B movies can deliver hilariously driven character roles, subtle plot twists and turns that ultimately deliver a wonderful feeling of satisfaction for the viewer. It's a courageous little gem that even in its unashamedly cheesy moments wins the audience over without offering any apologies. Well worth watching for those of us who still enjoy a good old , Creature romping stomping comedy that we all willingly buy into. Bravo for this comedic breath of fresh air !!

I love this film - I love it so much, that I wrote it. Then I loved that script so much that I directed it too. Then I figured, why stop there? I should probably edit it while I'm at it. And then, well, now we have this movie.

Hi, Stanley Pomianowski, writer/director/editor here writing the first review.

So, is this film any good?

No.

It's freaking great.

It's got killer cats, auto insurance phone calls, people losing limbs, kissing, and a pirate. It also features some rocking performances. You better learn how to properly pronounce "Fusca" because lead actor, Chuck Fusca, kills with his comedic timing playing Harry Bates. Rachel Comeau (hard to sight-read last names are a requirement to be in one of my films apparently) will seduce you as Allie Glades, the damsel in distress. Andy Gion (pronounced "G"+ on; see what I'm saying about these names) plays a tough guy, police chief to perfection (He's actually very sweet in real life). Jim Serrano delights the audience and steals every scene he's in as the dedicated and oddly-hungry scientist Dr. Cash Williams.

The rest of the supporting cast is loaded with talent too! We've got Johnny Alonso, Dana Anderwald, Sheryll Carbonell, and up and comers like Ana Gorayeb, Carson Holley, and more!

Did we talk about the soundtrack yet? Anthony Espina wrote the perfectly off kilter soundtrack that made everything work so much better.

I had a lot of fun making this film and I'm very proud of everyone that helped us make the film what it is. I hope you enjoyed it too!

Crocodylus Mating Season was an entertaining and quite surprising roller coaster. Watching this, I expected a straightforward, monstrous movie, yet it is far from that c. Right from the opening credits, the audience is given a clue that the movie is intentionally cult and belongs to the B movie category. There is a fault with the plot that could be seen as ridiculous because it is a dumb movie, but in the best way possible. Despite the characterization of all the protagonists as weird, they seem simple but are engaging enough to hold my attention. The main hero, Harry Bates, is an amateur, clumsy private eye, always making cheesy jokes, which made me chuckle in many scenes, even when the most terrible things happen. The dialogue is intentionally cheesy, and for the most part, the actors seem to know that they are in a cheesy B film, which makes the movie more enjoyable. One of the fun aspects of the film is the apparent minimalism of the special effects. The low-budget CGI and practical effects are hilariously bad, but it is part of the charm. One would tell by the filmmakers' eagerness to make the movie cheesy and horrible in a horror genre that it fits perfectly. That Crocodylus creature on its own is unadulterated silliness, but watching it perform is worth the watch.

However, there may be specific problems with pacing or the occasional dodge in acting, but this is only suitable for a comedy. It knows it is not a cinematic masterpiece, has fun breaking the fourth wall, and offers just what you would expect from a cheesy B-movie horror flick that is perfect for late-night showings. If you love B-movies with humor, ridiculous situations, and a bit of gore, Crocodylus: Mating Season, despite its stereotyping and crude humor style, is worth a watch.
