Alligator 1980
Jaws is the obvious choice for July 4th, but I decided to go with this offshoot instead and actually had quite a blast with it!

For starters, there's the main attraction - an animatronic alligator that puts modern CGI efforts to shame - and really looks the part of giant mutant reptile, grown…

Shades of Cat III gnarliness in all the glorious practical effects, lunatic grins and dismembered body parts. For anyone who thought Busan was good but too sentimental, this is your jam. First time director Rob Jabbaz, you hit it out the park my man. A proper horror film for proper horror fans.
And that brings FrightFest 2021 to…
