Reviews:
“Director Paul W. Franklin puts our group in lots of scary scenarios, although it has to be said that the amount of people falling over and getting eaten is pretty ridiculous. […] It’s not perfect, but it will satisfy some animal attack horror fans and prove to be relatively entertaining.” Bloody flicks
“Crock! is almost always laughable when any rational thinking is applied to the action as it unfolds. For example, this crocodile can open swimming pool doors. The many deaths in the jaws of the beast are rarely, if ever, convincing. And almost all of the hapless victims stumble at eye level with the CGI Crock! before they are eaten.” Brit Flicks
“Britain’s answer to American giant Asylum has produced another low-budget but oddly entertaining tale of carnage. Not one for those who need their characters layered and plot ironclad and free of holes, with the right setting and mind and audience , Crock! has the potential to be a silly but fun way to waste eighty minutes.” 2 out of 5, The Hollywood News
“It’s true that the finale is disappointingly tame, and yes, some of these kills get pretty repetitive. But at a slim 80 minutes, the film never outstays its welcome. With tongue planted firmly in cheek, even the stiff acting and weird dialogue (that taking in theological theory along with all the hook talk) kind of fun.” Horror DNA
likable, silly, low-budget British schlock […] It’s a bit like that [REC] sequel, set at a posh wedding – inevitably the bride gets into bloody action, still wearing her white dress and veil – but there’s also a streak of ladette comedy of embarrassment. But mostly it’s about a SyFy Channel-standard computer effect eating away at bloody limbs.” Kim Newman’s Site
“With its hilariously gratuitous sex scenes, stilted CGI, highly questionable human behavior, and endless asides on the messy quagmire of married life (which the featured creature improbably embodies), Crock! emerges unapologetically from the B-movie swamp. Even the title is a pun on the film’s sh*t status.” Projected figures
Release:
After having its world premiere at the Arrow Video FrightFest in London on August 25, 2022, Crock! will be released by Uncork’d Entertainment at a date to be announced.
