Crocodylus: Mating Season

Writer, director and editor, Stanley Pomianowski, actually managed to pull it off. No innuendo intended there. This isn't a silly B grade movie, it is a B grade movie, but most of it actually worked. Some additional pace direction could have bumped this movie out of the B grade group.

Jim Serrano (Dr Williams) playing the crazed "doc" was well done albeit with a couple of misses. Chuck Fusca (Harry Bates) had a few laughs and his client, Allie Glades (Rachel Comeau), provided the buddy laughs with him. Andy Gion (Police Chief Rex) played his part, hands-down.

After some of the other B-Grade movies that I've recently seen, this one is one of the better ones. I was entertained and look forward to the sequel. I would recommend this.

My wife and I attended a sneak peek of Crocodylus: Mating Season on a whim here in Florida. Expectations were low; that this will be a normal low-budget flick. I was surprised! Surprised to be entertained with crisp humor, quality acting, and a likable story that I couldn't help but connect with. And it wasn't just me. The packed theatre laughed and cheered right along with me. This has to be one of the best "lower-budget" movies I've ever seen. And the cat. Sorry human actors, but the cat was my favorite character. In the end, the director, actors and crew delivered. I am not even a fan of this genre but am looking forward to the next installment in the series.

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 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!!

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.
