Infierno En El Pantano

Terrible acting, horrible casting, and a storyline that feels like it was recycled from countless other films-but with an extra layer of awfulness. The dialogue is forced, the characters are unconvincing, and the pacing is sluggish. Any attempt at suspense or emotion falls completely flat. Even the cinematography and editing seem rushed and uninspired. It's almost impressive how every element of this movie manages to miss the mark. I think 1 star is overrating it-this is a complete waste of time.

You will be surprised by the time you will waste watching this cheap movie. Can't believe I wasted my time.

Truth be told, I am a sucker for killer animal movies, and thus I needed no persuasion to sit down and check out the 2025 movie "The Bayou".

Writers Ashley Holberry and Gavin Cosmo Mehrtens put together a script that, while it was generic, was actually entertaining enough. It was a simplistic and straightforward script, and the writers didn't exactly bring anything new to the genre. Regardless, "The Bayou" proved to be an entertaining alligator movie.

I was not familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list, but I found the acting performances to be good. I actually do enjoy watching unfamiliar talents on the screen whenever I sit down to watch a movie, so that spoke well in favor of "The Bayou".

The effects in the movie were good, which is a must for a movie with killer animals. There is nothing worse than sitting down and watching a movie where the animals look like they were discarded from a 1990s computer game because they looked to fake. Luckily that was not the case in "The Bayou".

If you enjoy killer animal movies, then directors Taneli Mustonen and Brad Watson does deliver an enjoyable movie with the 2025 movie "The Bayou".

My rating of "The Bayou" lands on a five out of ten stars.

The release year of Infierno En El Pantano (2025) states that it was 2025. Ok, but why on earth is such a movie like this produced in this day-and-age? With an estimated budget of $5 million (unconfirmed) I doubt that they saw a return out of this move.

Madalena Aragão (Alice) reminded me of Kaya Scodelario in her looks, I had to do some searching on that, as it happens, Kaya was in the movie Infierno en la tormenta (2019) which was about gators. Crawl was a better movie.

Anyway, overall The Bayou was just ok, but below average for a 2025 movie. Athena Strates (Kyle) didn't quiet convince me that she was a gator expert. Elisha Applebaum (Malika) worked her magic and totally convinced me to dislike her character, so well done there, Elisha.

Other actors trying to do their bit were Mohammed Mansaray (Sam) seemed to be confused whether he had to be the comedic relief or a wanna be hero. The crazed pilot, Frank (Andonis Anthony), was not convincing at being a leader. Tayla Kovacevic-Ebong (Dom) was probably the hero, or close to one.

Overall, the effects were not too bad, the story and acting are what you would expect from the B movie. Would I recommend this? A few beers or wine and it is a yes.

Ug, talk about a bad high school project, whole thing was probably filmed from an iphone. The trailer says from the producers of "47 meters down" uh really?

This is like cheap beyond cheap production, which is alright if they tried but the people are annoying, the story makes no sense, and just irritatingly the whole way that gives me a headache.

Everyone in the film is so unlikable and makes no sense, was cheering for the CGI gators. I mean, yeah, these kinds of films should have annoying people, but there's a limit.

And did the meth make the gather super smart too? That Jurassic Park 3 ending is ludicrous.

Easily 1/10.

I put this movie on last night not expecting much but it is so much better than I expected.

I thought it would be on par with a lot of Asylum films but this is way better.

The CGI is pretty good, the acting is also pretty good. Sure there's the expected a'hole characters and silly sacrifices but all in all it's a fun movie.

What's not to like? People and alligators in the bayou.

I don't know why other people have given it such rubbish reviews, glad I didn't read them before I watched it.

I went in expecting rubbish and was pleasantly surprised.

Why not give it a go.

If you like creature features, this is the movie for you.
