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. 👍👍😎

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 !!

Needless to say that I had never actually heard about this 2023 horror comedy titled "Crocodylus: Mating Season" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2024. However, I have to say that the movie's cover was actually interesting enough, plus it being a horror comedy that I hadn't already seen, then of course I opted to sit down and watch what writer and director Stanley Pomianowski had to offer.

I can't claim that I was impressed with what writer and director Stanley Pomianowski delivered, much less were I actually entertained throughout the course of the movie. And it was quite a struggle to sit through 85 minutes that the movie ran for. But I endured, hoping the movie would pick up and become better as it crept along. That just didn't happen.

Of course I wasn't familiar with a single actor or actress on the cast list in "Crocodylus: Mating Season". But I will say that the acting performances were actually good, despite the level of rubbish that the movie turned out to be.

The special effects in "Crocodylus: Mating Season" were exactly that; special. Especially the insanely fake toy cat at the kitchen table with the bottle. Not to mention the crocodylus itself, which was nothing more than a man in an ultra fake creature suit.

This movie was bad, so very, very bad. But it wasn't bad enough to actually be a fun movie to sit through.

The movie's cover was actually the best thing about the entire ordeal.

My rating of the dumpster fire that is "Crocodylus: Mating Season" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.

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!

After a very stressful day at work there's nothing like getting home, kicking off your shoes, and opening a bottle of wine. Last night was no different than most nights, only this time I came across Crocodylus Mating Season, a newly released movie. After reading the reviews I gave it a shot. Boy what a refreshing change. No CGI, just good cast of actors who obviously gelled on set. There's NOTHING worse than cheap CGI that cheesy horror films use because of a lack of organic talent. Yes, this film is low budget but it works. I needed this, it seriously made me laugh from it's silliness. Now to watch the original, Crocodylus.
